Guests who stay in the triple room on the second floor can sit on a wooden ledge to keep an eye out for enemy infiltrators while enjoying a view of the leafy scenery.

The twin room on the ground floor opens up to a beautiful view of a traditional Japanese garden.

And this former tea ceremony room, which sleeps two to three people, opens out onto an exclusive private garden.

The long wooden verandah is like a scene from an old movie where kimono-clad lords and warriors would shuffle about, using the thoroughfare as a way to move from one room to another through the building.

The inner garden is a beautiful central point, which provides shade and dappled sunlight in the spring and summer months.
