Out of this World!

Amazing unforgettable experience; the hotel setting in Naraijuku was unique and created another beautiful environment in the already charming town. Room amenities are personalized with welcome, we arrived early and luggage was delivered to our room before we officially checked in; the private onsen was heated in readiness for our stay. Special items such as clove scented bedroom socks were a pleasant surprise. Natural wood and cotton were signature in the decor and materials used. Highly recommended to include dinner reservation with the hotel as there are very few restaurants, most of which close early, in this lovely remote town. We stayed one night and it was the highlight of our month long visit to Japan.
