"Perched on a cliff overlooking the East China Sea, its rectangular white façade standing out in stark relief against the blue sky, Emil Nakijin is an ultra-modern boutique hotel with just five suites. They’re lined up in a row facing the ocean, each with oversized stainless steel sliding glass doors opening onto private terraces with open-air baths and infinity pools. The linear layout is a hallmark of the Hiroshima-based design firm Shinichi Ogawa & Associates, and the bright interiors are nearly identical — minimalist and all-white — with nothing to distract from the spectacular surrounding landscape. There’s no restaurant, spa, or conventional hotel services, but suites are well-outfitted for doing absolutely nothing, which is exactly the point of this sleek and silent escape." - Tablet Hotels
