Such a beautiful hotel! Full of amazing art and details. Excellent service. Impressive, serene, relaxing. You can feel the care of all employees. Excellent breakfast. The thing to improve was the check into the gym. We would go there and then a lady would interrupt our workout to sign us in. It should be an easier, faster process.

Blown away by this hotel. My husband and I just came from 2-night stay to start our honeymoon and loved every second from the minute we walked in. The hospitality is unreal. Even before you arrive, they are emailing you to see if you need help with reservations. I must have emailed the concierge 20 times and they always got back to me immediately and were extremely helpful. We had the garden view room that looks onto the giant gardens which was unbelievably calming and serene. The thermal spas are incredible with a rain shower feature. The showers/baths in the room are incredible. Bed coildnnot be more comfortable and room has two automatic blinds - blackout and a sheer one. Turn down service every night with included pajamas that are comfortable that we bought them ourselves. Highly recommend matcha tea ceremony and breathwork session. I only wish we had time for a spa treatment. Don’t hesitate and book!!!

Worst and most inconsistent service. Charging ~$2000 a night in a beautiful setting but entirely incompetent - just not at all prepared for the level of service they promise. At least 5-7 errors in every meal sitting. Rooms are small and so poorly lit you can't see the things in your suitcase. Took three days of back and forth for the concierge to make a dinner reservation and then lost the reservation because they didn't book it in time. Changed the entire course of our Japan vacation. Meals were terrible and certainly not fine dining. Many more examples.

Amazing design. Amazing attention to detail in interior finishes. Extraordinary staff, but concierge made a bad choices in suggesting the Kenniji Gion Maruyama restaurant which was priced like a three start Michelin restaurant, but did not deserve even to be in the Michelin Guide. The Kaiseki menu was so bad that we were embarrased in front of our guests. The concierge also booked a car to go to the Miho Museum, but the driver was so unprofessional that he could not find the museum with his GPS.
