In the center courtyard of Nishimuraya Honkan sits a lush Japanese garden. Many of the rooms of Nishimuraya look out onto the garden of tall ancient pine trees, moss covered stone statues, intricately trimmed bushes, and gentle ponds full of koi fish.
Access points allow direct access for those who wish to take a stroll through the beautiful greenery. Guests staying in the Hiratakan annex enjoy a separate garden and the Hatsune and Asuka rooms have private gardens.
A unique mixture of old European furnitue and Japanese-style architecture, lobby lounge Seigetsutro is great place to relax with a cup of coffee or tea and read or enjoy the view of the garden. Wifi is also available in the lobby area.
