Great service and the rooms are super big. The garden is lovely and has many restaurants. The only thing is that the pool is 5500 yen per day (I thought it was included in the price of the room like in any other hotel). Also the decoration is quite old fashioned you feel like entering a hotel from the 80s but it is big and super clean.

For me, it is the third time stay in this nice hotel/resort. It is always a delight to walk through the beautiful garden, whether in the early morning or at night. With the artificial mists, this garden has never ceased to surprised me.

Part of the hotel grounds, this garden is free to enter and in its own right a well kept secret to bigger audience. The garden offers a great escape to Tokyo's busy streets and can literally give you some peace of mind any time of the year. The garden is well maintained and has some great placemements and features (fog and walk behind the cascade) to enrich your experience. A must see.

It offers excellent service, cosy accommodations, stylish decor, h...
