The most mesmerizing architecture I ever experienced. An old hotel converted into a ryokan. Long corridors of small wooden rooms that look over a narrow river covered in lofty trees, each room differently hand-designed. 

"Soon her eye fell on a little glass box that was lying under the table: she opened it, and found in it a very small cake, on which the words `EAT ME' were beautifully marked in currants. `Well, I'll eat it,' said Alice, `and if it makes me grow larger, I can reach the key; and if it makes me grow smaller, I can creep under the door; so either way I'll get into the garden, and I don't care which happens!'"
