Really good Dining Experience

“I truly savored my dining experience at Sowaka. We opted for the half-board option and enjoyed dinner there for two nights. The chefs switched up the menu, ensuring we had different dishes to delight our palates each evening. The flavors were exquisite, making for a nice culinary journey.” view full review

Luxurious Bathroom Retreat

“The bathroom in my suite was nothing short of luxurious. I loved the traditional Japanese wooden tub, which provided a serene space for relaxation. Plus, the heated Toto toilet was a good addition that made every visit comfortable.” view full review

Unique Room Features

“My room had direct access to a beautiful garden shared with only two other rooms, allowing for a peaceful retreat. The floor-level wicker lattice windows with sliding screens provided a lovely view of the garden while I enjoyed tea in the tea room. The unique design elements added to the authenticity of my stay.” view full review

Comfortable and Charming Bedroom

“The bedroom was beautifully designed with a blend of traditional Japanese aesthetics and modern comforts. Despite a slightly firmer mattress, which is typical for many traditional hotels in Japan, I appreciated the overall charm and comfort it provided during my stay.” view full review
