Each room is gorgeous, and so well thought down to the tiniest detail. Would put it at the level of the Four Seasons or Park Hyatt. The wooden gated entry to every room, with its own rock garden makes it feel like you are coming home. The welcome locally made sweets and tea/cold towels at check in are some of the touches that make the place special. The only downside is the lack of a proper gym., by Kevin, 4 October 2023, rated 10/10 Excellent ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What's the area like around Kozokunosato Museum?
