The spirit of the place combines Japanese traditions and serenity, transforming the stay into a timeless interlude.
Intimately connected to the environment, the rooms are an ode to Japanese aesthetics, with their tatami floors, sliding panels, and large windows opening onto a private garden. The carefully arranged traditional futons create a warm and authentic atmosphere, while modern amenities, such as an LCD TV and an electric kettle, ensure flawless comfort. In harmony with the minimalist style, the communal bathrooms enhance the Japanese communal spirit while maintaining impeccable attention to detail.
