Because rates are the same no matter which way you face, be sure to request a room overlooking the garden.

Daring guests can try the authentic washitsu rooms designed like those of a traditional ryokan with tatami mats on the floor and a separate living room; while others may choose just to take a peek before slumbering in their pillow-top bed.
