THE RYOKAN COLLECTION

These private dining rooms are only available to guests staying in suite rooms. They embody the comfortable elegance of Japanese ryotei, the traditional high-end restaurants where epoch-making deals in business and politics were made over endless courses and geisha performances. At Akabono, a kimono-clad staff will greet you at the entrance, ushering you along an atmospheric lantern-lit hallway and into that rarified world. In your private tatami room with sunken table, the unobtrusive staff will serve you the premium kaiseki course, offering sake in cups make by local artisans while the closing rice course cooks in an elegant kama kettle at the back of the room, subtly adding a homey aroma.
