Service is exceptional and the place is really beautiful. Food is also amazing.
Rangetsu was absolutely beautiful. It exceeded my expectations of a Japanese luxury hotel. The staff was especially conscientious and kind.
The public bath wasn’t quite what I expected. In particular, I thought there was an outdoor bath available. The facilities were otherwise lovely—clean and luxurious.
The suite was unreal. So amazing and HUGE. And it wasn't just clean. It was EXCEPTIONALLY clean. Like, I've maybe been in few rooms that were this spotless. Not a speck of dust or crumb to be seen.

It was fine.
Warm and helpful staff, great hospitality, cosy and well-designed room, and impressive in-room onsen - the fine detail has exceeded my expectations. Staff volunteered to take photo in the front terrace. She got impeccable photo-shooting skills (with my iPhone 13 Pro Max) and I don’t need to touch up the photos at all.
