The charm of Arashiyama has always captivated visitors. The hotel is located opposite the Togetsukyo Bridge, famous for its beauty. The murmur of the river, the moonlight shining through the bridge, the scent of morning dew carried on the breeze, the taste of the essence of the season, the genuine atmosphere and the performance. A unique scenario. Large windows overlooking lush nature and beautiful gardens. This scenery changes as the seasons change throughout the year. This mood was fundamental in the choice of natural materials in the architecture.
