“Housed in a renovated sake brewery in Takeda's central town, the hotel stands out with its exceptional meals, underfloor-heated wooden floors, and illuminated views of Takeda Castle Ruins; plus, the complimentary pre-dinner sake tasting is a treat. I was particularly impressed by the helpful staff ready to forward luggage and the opportunity to explore the historic building. A restful place to stay when visiting the region's attractions.”
