The room check-out time felt unusually early at 10:00 AM, which can be inconvenient. A presence of insects around the open windows detracted from the experience, particularly near the outdoor shower and private onsen. Also, ordering food felt hit or miss, as there was a mismatch between menu descriptions and actual portion sizes. Lastly, my massage appointment turned into a DIY setup, which shouldn't have been on me to arrange.

Feeding the koi was super fun, but the mosquitoes were a real bother.

Positive, I loved the spacious Japanese-Style Superior Room with the Open-Air Bath. It offered amazing views of the beautiful garden. The authentic meals were very nice, especially breakfast! Feeding the koi was a fun and nice experience that added to the serene atmosphere.

Yo, the koi pond was a highlight, and the traditional breakfast blew me away! I felt like I stepped into a painting. The staff was super friendly, even tried to break the language barrier with translate apps. The room was huge with these amazing views, seriously, didn’t wanna leave!

The atmosphere was simply magical! The spacious Japanese-Style Superior Room with an Open-Air Bath was perfect, allowing for amazing views of the beautiful gardens. I loved how the meals were made with fresh ingredients, especially the hearty breakfast that kicked off my day. The garden walks and koi feeding experience were highlights of my stay, leaving me feeling relaxed and joyful.

A few mosquitoes in the outdoor area were annoying.

The gardens were stunning, with ample space to explore, and I particularly enjoyed the serene ambiance created by the koi ponds. The breakfast offerings were delightful, featuring fresh ingredients that showcased authentic local cuisine. However, the internet connection was spotty at times, making it difficult to plan my day, and the shuttle service could be more clearly communicated, as I initially missed the pickup point. While I would love to return, I was disappointed that some amenities were either limited or not clearly mentioned beforehand.

I had an amazing experience in a Japanese-Style Standard Room with breakfast included. The authentic breakfast was a standout, especially the soft boiled eggs. I loved feeding the koi in the stunning garden, though I wished the Yukata provided fit better for my larger size. I'd definitely recommend this place for a unique stay!

Spacious room with excellent air conditioning. No pets allowed was a drawback for us.
