THE RYOKAN COLLECTION

The joyful enchantment of gathering with others around a warm fire outdoors at night, sharing food and drink and swapping stories beneath the stars . . . these simple joys seem wired into our very DNA. Muryoraku-an, a custom-built firepit complete with a wrap-around cypress counter, cypress bench seating, and a roof, is just such a place at Roka. Situated between the guest suites and the restaurant and café wing on one axis, and the front and rear gardens on the other, it is an ideal place for visitors, residents, and artists to relax together for sundowners and cheer over the flickering flames. A hearth at the very heart of Roka, its name literally means “haven of immeasurable delights.”
