In this historic Takabatake, a 100-year-old sukiya-style architectural masterpiece has been reimagined with new elements of design, furniture, and contemporary art, giving birth to "Suimontei," a Property that accommodates only one group per day. Because we host only one group per day, we offer the finest hospitality.
