THE RYOKAN COLLECTION

Named after a variety of sakura that grows in the garden, this custom-built teahouse provides the venue for a range of exclusive experiences such as ikebana lessons and tea ceremonies by day and becomes an extraordinary bar at night. The structure is perched on the edge of the ornamental pond and has two walls that fully retract in fine weather, allowing the borders between indoors and out to blur as gentle breezes and the murmur of the nearby falls soothe guests enjoying local sakes and original cocktails in elegantly etched glassware. It is also possible to reserve Yae Hitoe for a private geisha performance.
