The traditional Japanese experience was a nice idea, but from the beginning with having to where slippers, that were only one size for all ( much too small for me) it fell short. The room was spacious, the view was a very partial view of the water mostly looking at roof tops and backyards. They included dinner and breakfast and although there were a lot of choices the quality was very bad, worst food experience on our two week stay in Japan. Breakfast looked like they brought out several items from the night before. On a positive note the hotel is close to all the shopping and the Otorii Gate. They don't offer a shuttle from the ferry to the hotel (saw many other hotel shuttles) and the walk is about 15min, so dont bring a lot of luggage! The island is incredible and I will be back, but not at the LiveMax
