It was the first thing to catch my eye upon arriving at Gajoen: a huge rooster strutting down the path. Pretty incredible, right? With its traditional Japanese style, the hotel has no need for the typical trappings used to create a feeling of Zen.
Therein lies its charm, its ability to venture off the beaten path.
The rooster has always held a special place in the hearts of Tateo and Etsuko.
With its view over the stunning mountain landscape, the terrace is the ideal place for enjoying a cup of tea.
