"Set on the Shonai plain, a particularly fertile area irrigated by snowmelt runoff from neighboring peaks, this hotel promises quiet stays with an opportunity to contemplate the slow movement of seasons, surrounded by working rice fields; it takes its cues from the crop, with architect Shigeru Ban’s thoughtful nods to its cultivation informing its thoroughfares and common areas." - Mark Fedeli
