The room

Overlooking the Imperial Palace complex and, on a clear day, Mount Fuji, the westfacing Deluxe Palace Garden View Room is minimalist, meticulous and generous. At 71 square metres, this is reportedly the biggest standard room in a crowded city where space is at a premium. Tradition and nature are paid the utmost respect – from the black stone, blond wood and other raw materials that bow graciously to the Earth’s elements to the delicate shoji screens in the guestrooms. Less is definitely more here.
