Words feel inadequate to describe the stay here, easily one of the most beautiful accomodation and dining experiences Iâve ever had. From the moment you arrive, you are transported into a tranquil haven, and are looked after by the beautifully kind family that treat you to this special experience. A time to be offline in nature, to rest, to enjoy exquisite food, and have the best sleep of your life. A spiritual experience. Highly, highly recommend.
What an amazing and special place. This hotel is the best of East meets West. Japanese charm and service with Western comforms. The hotel is truly beautiful and it feels like you're staying in someone's home. The property is quiet and comfortable and we'll maintialed. Everything had been thought of here from the amenities to the curated music. I almost didn't book this hotel because of the shared showers but don't let this stop you! Each room has a private sink and toilet and comfortable western beds. Think of the showers as your own private onsen. There are two private shower rooms. Each with a changing room and shower room. The shower room has two showers and a beautiful wooden hot tub. It is clean and comfortable and a very enjoyable experience. The food is AMAZING! we loved it so much we ate dinner there twice. The owners are lovely and the service is kind and genuine. The fact the hotel is 10 minutes from the city center is a bonus. It's in a beautiful and quiet area with great views of the mountains. The hotel has luxury vans and will shuttle you into the city as needed. Don't hesitate in booking here, this hotel will be the highlight of our 4 week stay in Japan.
This hotel was a sanctuary of calm with forest views from every window, excellent food, very friendly staff, and a minimalist aesthetic. Bathrooms were shared as it provided a traditional Japanese experience but as someone who would generally avoid a shared bathroom this was more part of the experience than a drawback. Rooms extremely clean, calming, and comfortable with own sink and toilet.
Everything including room, accomodation, a special dinner which is reserved and ordered in advance, pick-up service and the kind staff is all great !!!!!
Plus, the breakfast is awesome, that is like a brunch in a fancy restaurant. Next time when I have another chance to visit Dakayama, I will definitely visit this wonderful hotel again.
