TRADITIONAL MINIMALISM
Minimalism is a tradition here, with cool, flat areas punctuated with small but striking works of art and items that portray a flawless attention to detail. But make the Gōra Kadan Ryokan part of the itinerary of your luxury, tailor-made holiday to Japan and you’ll also be introduced to the country’s finest culinary traditions. The Kan-in-no-miya Mansion Restaurant was built over 80 years ago and was once the grand mansion and summer residence of Prince Kan-in-no-miya who was Imperial Royalty – third in line to succeed as Emperor in the absence of a direct heir. Today the Japanese Kaiseki restaurant serves beautifully prepared food based on the four seasons, using the best of local harvests.
