THE RYOKAN COLLECTION

Open from 5pm each evening, the gorgeous bar lounge beckons with comfortable lodge chairs arranged just so for an intimate tête-à-tête at sunset. Alternately, you can have a chat with the friendly bartender over the polished counter carved from a single piece of Japanese zelkova wood. The glittering surface and the darkened windows reflect the constellation of bulbs hanging above, creating little Milky Ways that mirror the twinkling stars outside. A full range of cocktails, wines, beers and spirits is available, including many standout Japanese sakes and whiskeys. For an aperitif or a nightcap, it's the perfect place to while away a pleasurable moment.
