Umitsubaki Hayama
There are three things I really like about this hotel.
1. Unusual architecture – it was awarded the Japan Good Design Awards in 2000.
2. The hotel’s website design is one of the best I have ever seen.
3. While you stay at Umitsubaki Hayama, all you will be doing (apart from eating, bathing and sleeping) would be watching the sea.

Fujiya
I visited this beautiful ryokan (Japanese inn) during the New Year holiday 2 years ago.
I have read quite a few negative reviews about Fujiya’s modern design but just couldn’t understand why when I stayed there, as the design by Kengo Kuma was absolutely amazing. I also enjoyed 5 different private onsen (hot sprint) during my stay. Definitely want to revisit Fujiya next time I am in Japan!

KOYABA TADA TADA
Another exclusive villa. This place takes only one couple per day. The island of Ohzushima has a sad history. It was the place for training human torpedos by the Japan’s military government during the Second World War. Despite this, the island looks extremely beautiful and tranquil.

VILLA KAZE NO OTO
4 exclusive villas on a private island (apparently its population is one, an old guy lives there on his own) in Japan Inland Sea. To get there you will be whisked away on a private cruiser from the mainland.
Hotel REMM
There are currently two Hotel REMMs in Tokyo. The concept is (as you may have guessed from the name) to create an ideal environment for a good night’s sleep. Very appropriate for my website!
Hotel The Earth
I am at the moment planning to visit Japan in November. I will be in Kyoto for several days and this place is a couple of hours train journey away from there. Looks very nice!
