아름답고 넓은 정원과 훌륭한 객실, 무엇보다도 제공되는 식사의 질과 분위기는 너무 훌륭함. 놀라울 정도로 세련된 프랜치 코스는 최고의 즐거움이었음. 밖에서 들려오는 약간의 소음이 유일한 아쉬움

Ein sinnlicher Ort auf hohem Qualitätsniveau

Ein wunderschöner Ort mit nur ganz wenigen Zimmern und sehr persönlicher Betreuung . Alles ist außergewöhnlich schön. Der Garten, das Zimmer, das Bad und das Essen. Ich habe mich nie so gut japanisch gefrühstückt. Auch mein Abendessen war sehr gut. Alles ist eine große Freude für die Sinne. Vielen Dank an die bezaubernden Mitarbeiter.
