“Magical retreat, and a well-manicured experience.”
The detached house was spotless even though it’s old, and every amenity was arranged nicely. For the price, I would have liked the first drink with dinner to be included; instead it was an extra fee at checkout. We also wanted to have our kaiseki dinner and breakfast in the tatami room overlooking the river at least once, but that option was never offered. They might have assumed that because my surname isn’t Japanese we preferred Western seating, yet I had booked Japanese futon bedding on tatami, so that’s a mismatch. Finally, the hotel website and the in‑room binder suggested we visit the sister property Kotohira Onsen Yume Sansui, but when we asked, we were told it was closed during our stay.
