THE RYOKAN COLLECTION

Extending into the garden and separated only by floor-to-ceiling glass, the lounge provides a comfortable perch to enjoy Nikko's stunning natural beauty. Gentle classical music, a central fireplace, and tactile furnishings from high-backed velvet booths to low-slung leather armchairs appeal to all the senses, a subtle persuasion to sit back and relax that is impossible to ignore. In the afternoon, a charming afternoon tea set that pairs classics like financiers and macarons with seasonal Japanese nama wagashi is a perfect match for the original tea blends. Before dinner, champagne and other libations are free to enjoy. After dinner, the lights are dimmed to create a sultry bar space for a romantic post-prandial. Open to guests before and after check in as well.
