Nine suites make up the refuge that is Capella Lodge. Beach-shack vibes, chic interiors and unfathomably, incredible views make this the paradise that it is. Treat yourself to a stay in the Makambo Loft, where a heated plunge pool overlooks Mount Gower and Lidgbird. 

The striking former residence of Japan's Imperial family until 1868 (when they moved to Tokyo). Situated in a lovely park in the centre of the city, and a definite must visit.

This narrow and stylish yakitori restaurant breaks the stereotype with its 'haute yakitori.' Don't miss the negima and tsukune, though be sure to book well in advance. This spot is popular for very good reason. 

Enjoy a Japanese pastry and a delicious cup of coffee in this beautiful café. The vibe is intimate and comfortable. It is teeny-tiny inside so get there early or be prepared to wait a bit for a seat.
