Unkai

“The staff were very thoughtful, we stayed for 2 nights and they took the initiation to change the menu so we don't have to eat the same food for 2 days. We paid 5000 yen to have a guide (with perfect English and super nice) to drive us to the Hoshi Toge rice terraces before sunrise. The experience was magnificent. To be able to gaze upon such beautiful rice fields in sparkling snow when the sun pops up is simply mesmerising. On our second day there, because the hotel's restaurant was closed, the hotel offered to drive us to the train station. They even looked up the train schedule to make sure we won't be waiting too long at the station. Unkai means sea of cloud, and it's befitting with seas of cloud seen from our room and the onsen. Everything was perfect, we couldn't ask for more.”

“I LOVE EVERYTHING. The place is worth every penny you'll spend. The BREAKFAST, gosh, it's DELICIOUS. Everything on your plate is FRESH, like you can literally taste it on first bite. The room, the whole place rather, is clean and GORGEOUS. The staffs, though only a few can speak English, is very hospitable and will try their best to assist whatever you need. The VIEW is BREATHTAKING. The ONSEN is the icing on the cake. I just keep coming back! They have a tour at a rice terraces near the area, I recommend taking it. It's just wonderful. I was at awe when we went there. I'll upload pictures I/we have taken on the place, that will be enough to convince you.”

“Everything!!! Except the smoking smell”
