Stunningly stylish hotel with fabulous architecture, art, rooms, food and views. Don't miss it!

This was the most impressive hotel we stayed in in Japan. Our room was huge, with one wall entirely of glass, facing a garden and forested area. Originally built as a museum, the architecture and art are stunning. There are only seven rooms, with just one room per floor. The dining was exquisite with very professional staff. We had a private onsen bath that was open to the outdoors on one side. There is a beautiful lounge (with free prosecco) that we seemed to be the only guests to use, and a dramatic and absolutely gorgeous swimming pool with a view of the sea.

MAGICAL

What a magical place - loved everything about it - pure luxury - staff were incredible, especially Brett Cox who looked after us. Food was wonderful. He suggested we visit a local town and also suggested we drive to Kochi to experience the best Bonito (tuna) - we did and it was the best! The hotel in beautiful. Service impeccable.
