Akiyama, Japan hotel rooms at the Independent

"we are 2 but there is only 1 pillow in the room and no free tooth brush but over all the stay is good. "

"Awesome onsen facility and hotel meals! "

"best choice"

"It was a memorable opportunity to live and enjoy tradition. I don't think I will ever sleep so well again. Very clean and the staff were very hospitable. Just remember to book for meals early on. "

"This is by far the most comfortable and luxurious hotel I’ve ever been in and I’ve stayed at 5-6 star hotels globally. You cannot beat them for comfort, service, meals, mountain view and the quality of everything they provide. I absolutely loved my stay here and felt like I was a traditional Japanese hotel along with all the 5 star service provided. Cannot recommend it enough and I will return when I visit Japan next. Loved it"

"Feels like a real Ryokan, with the Japanese style room and outdoor bath."

"The area, and the Lodge itself, are relaxing in a natural setting. Just like Upstate New York. Hike, ski or read a book on the balcony. "
