One of the most clean hotels I'v ever stayed in. Shiina, Nagajima, Saiparn are amazing. The chefs Ishii and assistant chef Keigo are unsurpassed! I have stayed at some of the highest ranked hotels in the world: Four Seasons Denver/Bali/India...etc..., many Ritz Carlton's, La Fonda in Santa Fe, the Aman (Amangani) in Jackson Hole, the Little Nell in Aspen (avoid!!!), Bulgari in Milano & Bali....
- The Lodge Moiwa 834 tops them all! This is heaven on earth and you will be so grateful to have the pleasure to stay there. It was opened by NorthFace but now has a different owner - please give the hotel manager Shinna and the Chef Ishii a GIANT raise. It is employees like them that make visitors want to move here permanently.
People love Japan because of people like Shiina and Ishii. We are forever grateful for their honesty and kindness.
