Follow the three-story waterfall from the main level down to the elegant spa, whose concept is strongly inspired by flowing water.

Foodies can look forward to an authentic Japanese culinary experience: the hotel's Japanese restaurant Mizuki is renowned throughout the city for its multi-course kaiseki menu. The Japanese art of the perfect menu revolves around small, carefully arranged dishes with five different flavors and preparation methods.
