Liked:Terrific place. Beautiful and restful, and really well located. The staff was amazing. There was nothing they didn't provide - it was almost like they were anticipating our every thought and need. The restaurant - Gion Loka - was fantastic. Great breakfasts - both the Western and Japanese set courses are terrific. And dinner there was amazing. My wife is a pescatarian (but no raw fish!) and they were completely ready to accomodate her needs.
Disliked:We are both 70 - which made the Japanese room decor ( which involves everything being low to the floor) slightly challenging. The beds weren't futons...but they were still pretty low. So - that alone was a little tough for us!
