8/10 Very Good

Minimalism and calm but dark without nature
Very severe, dark and minimalist without the balance of aesthetic views or nature. Shoji screen room had choice of closed interior with very dark mood lighting and black surfaces or open shoji with view of workers at their desk in a neighboring glass tower. I Could not even see the sky on the 9 th floor. The room has no thin shade so workers in other building able to see in room if you have shoui open. The Onsen very comfortable but depressing and tomb like. I kept thinking I was in a Star Wars Imperial Cruiser. No natural or aesthetic views from onsen except patch of sky in a chimney. One lone sad chrysanthemum in onsen. Black black. No bar, no obvious dining. Ok place for hot soak in the city and two night max. Corporate sterile location with not much in the neighborhood but good access to Metro Station. Staff very formal kind and attentive. Lovely people. Koto playing in lobby fantastic. Very calming place to recover from travel but don't stay too long or you will become natural light starved and maybe depressed.
