“An elegant luxury hotel with a fabulous location set by the UNESCO heritage site, Nijo Castle. While the design is undeniably contemporary there is a traditional feel from tatami mat flooring, washi lights, and kimono textiles. With a thermal spa and two good restaurants, this is an indulgent stay.”
