A really special place next to amazing Takaozan. We were so happy to stay 2 nights, relax and enjoy. Hikari is a wonderful hostess who knows every inch of Takao and surroundings. The rooms were beautiful, spacious and spotless. The cafe downstairs a refreshing combo of Japanese style meets backpacker chic. We've travelled to many parts of Japan, spent weeks visiting the sites as remote as Iya Valley on Shikoku, the 7 bridges bike trip, and the usual tourist things. This was our best Japanese trip so far!
