an acceptable stay

exquisite architecture friendly staff great food new annex generic feel recent building
the architecture showed exquisite details, and the layout was very well planned. the staff members were friendly and always ready to help. the food tasted great, each dish carefully prepared and presented.
i did not realize they had built an annex in recent years. i was booked into one of those rooms. it felt very generic because it was a brand new build.

Wonderful Narai Stay

modern aesthetic really good service
The hotel's modern aesthetic in historic buildings impressed me. The staff provided really good service. I found the onsen offered pure luxury! The 8 course dinner featured local ingredients. I also enjoyed the breakfast. It was as awesome as dinner.
The annex room felt very generic! I found that it lacked the charm of the main building. The semi-double beds are not ideal for couples.
Dining
10/10
The hotel provided a fine dining experience with multiple courses, showcasing local dishes. Each meal included sake pairings! The wagashi was a special treat at arrival. The tamagoyaki for breakfast was the best I've ever had.
