"Hotel Indigo Urakuen Garden pays aesthetic tribute to Inuyama Castle and the famous Jo-An tea house, even as it offers its guests a thoroughly contemporary stay. It’s set within the grounds of the garden, which means easy views of the verdant forest as well as the hilltop castle itself. The rooms feel Japanese, but they’re not ultra-traditional — colorful graphic murals, carpets, and furnishings contribute to a lively look." - Mark Fedeli
