Beautiful and elegant setting

Naomi was friendly, attentive and easy to communicate with before and during our stay. The lodging was gorgeous, comfortable and a wonderful place to rest after a long day of hiking. I highly recommend it. Our only challenge was finding food to eat. Things closed in Ukegawa by 6 (we were there in February - maybe the off season) and busses didn't run very late between Ukegawa and Hongu. We managed and Naomi was willing to shuttle us.
