The Hiratakan Annex building and Horai Suite Room was designed by the master sukiya-style architect Masaya Hirata and is considered one of his signature designs. Enjoy a relaxing soak in the heated open air bath after you privately served dinner, and then unwind in the living room as you admire the splendid view. We think you’ll agree that Horai is one of Nishimuraya Honkan’s finest rooms.
