THE RYOKAN COLLECTION
ROOM
Precious Suite
The 3rd and 4th floor precious suites offer an especially spacious atmosphere, with the living and sleeping areas separated by a rolling sudare screen that descends from the ceiling. Still a popular feature of Japanese homes, the wooden slats in sudare provide cooling shade in the summer while allowing pleasant breezes to pass through. Like ones used centuries ago to shield courtly ladies from prying eyes, FUFU’s sudare are adorned with embroidered fabric trim elevating a functionally quotidian item to a subtle work of art. These rooms face north, with bedroom and bath views along the sakura-lined canal that are particularly nice in spring.
