"Its grand entrance, coffered ceiling and chandelier make you feel you have slipped back in time."
"Built in 1909, this hotel is a beautiful synthesis of Japanese and Western architecture. The high ceilings, wide hallways, and sumptuous beds are fit for, well, an emperor." Full review

"Reminiscent of the grand old hotels of the Orient, this hotel has views of Wakakusayama Mountain and the temples Todai-ji and Kofuku-ji."
