Read moreDear staff of the Bettei Haruki,
We would like to thank you again for the amazing stay in your hotel. You, the staff, were just so lovely and helpfull and nice. We were treated like king and it was amazing. Thanks a lot again to the amazing women who ran to give me back a part of my tent that I forgot in the hotel room. It was just so nice. It saves my tent (and the rest of our trip). So thank a lot again. You are amazing. We will come back.
Best hotel so far in Japan!
Lots of love
