THE RYOKAN COLLECTION

These 3rd-floor suites share the cunningly designed rooftop lawn and mountain views of the Akebono Suite with a slightly smaller layout. Both the shower and the outdoor marble and granite hot spring bath have views on the neighboring mountains, where towering cedars and tufty pines jostle for space in the afternoon breeze. From the sunny living room, plush sofas and loungers compete with silky tatami floors and leather armchairs for the most pleasing texture, while Hagi ware accents and washi-paper walls complete a Japanese aesthetic that cocoons the appreciative voluptuary in artistic beauty.
