A Hospitality Space Unique to Japan
A national guesthouse for welcoming distinguished guests from abroad. It features a uniquely Japanese spatial design that harmoniously integrates gardens cultivated within Japan’s climate and natural environment with architecture featuring deep eaves, while also striving to create a “Japanese-style ambiance” that blends seamlessly with Western lifestyles. With a focus on convenience and comfort for guests, all areas except the tatami rooms are designed for guests to wear shoes, and security equipment is concealed from view—prioritizing the creation of a “relaxing space.”
