Switzerland“Beautiful property. We had the half board with multi course traditional Japanese meals. They were amazing but yes, pricey. We wore our traditional Japanese. The hubby used the Osen and said it was fabulous. I didn’t go as I stayed with our 10 year...” - Susa United States“The location is awesome. Really beautiful environment, full of nature. The hotel is a mixed between modern and traditional Japanese style. The food was very good, but also with some occidental feeling. In general it is a great place to stay, eat...”
- Justin United States“This is the sort of place I have in mind when I think of a traditional ryokan. No complaints. There were even deer wandering outside below my window during my stay. Plus, it's an ideal starting point for making a sunrise climb of Mt. Misen.”
- Karen United States“A beautiful upscale ryokan with definite old world charm. We found the meal delicious, the baths great, but most of all the location - which was spectacular. We also loved the fact that the G8 stayed there and enjoyed a similar experience to our own.”
