In the main building you can feel the sukiya architectural style of an old established restaurant that dates back a hundred years; while the annex is designed in a modern Japanese-style. What both of these spaces have in common is the spirit of “suki” (“refined taste”). “Suki” brings to mind such things as the tea ceremony, but the origin of the phrase is “to like.” Sukiya architectural style originated with the tea ceremony room, which is a house built according to taste; and in order to please guests a tea ceremony room is distinguished for the way it was built – i.e., in a nonconventional style and with playfulness. Each of the spacious “Sowaka” guestrooms has its own charm. The main building offers rooms with the spirit of distinctively Japanese suki inherited from past generations, while the rooms of the annex give the feeling of the suki of the modern age. Please enjoy your stay amid unprecedented style that combines a Japanese aesthetic sense with comfort.
