The hotel is small and quaint coupled with contemporary design and a focus on exploration of the local exotic area and all it has to offer.
The hotel features a simple exterior architecture with a rectangle concrete facade that is clean, tasteful and free of any artistic styling put together by firm Kichi Architectural Design. However the inside offers a luxuriously traditional Japanese experience with sliding doors, local food on the menu and even a hallway art gallery. The motel offers space for 13 guests in total, further creating a feeling of intimacy and privacy.
