Beeches and cedars crowd the windows at this mountain auberge in the forests of Nasu, where the Japanese imperial family have long come to disappear quietly. A water garden wanders through the grounds, the architecture nods to local timber traditions, and the general agenda is stillness. Draw a bath, watch the trees, and resist the urge to do anything else. The Michelin Guide awarded it one Key.
