THE RYOKAN COLLECTION

At 194 square meters, the Presidential Suite is far and away the most spacious room in the house, with private Japanese-style garden, separate meeting room, a Japanese and a Western living room, jacuzzi bath, and separate sleeping quarters. With countless touches of timeless Japanese elegance like gold-embossed lacquer writing sets and flower-engraved wooden transoms scattered throughout, it is not hard to imagine that the emperors and world leaders who have stayed here were quite at home in its luxury.
