Traditional Japanese Instruments in the guest lounge

Wednesdays | 4:00 P.M. – 5:00 P.M.
For Staying Guests Only | Complimentary

In a softly lit corner of the guest lounge, tradition stirs the air. As the koto begins to play, each note is gently suspended in time—inviting you not just to listen, but to feel.

This weekly experience is more than a performance. It’s a quiet conversation between past and present, crafted for our guests alone. Set against the backdrop of Yasaka Pagoda and the lounge’s serene atmosphere, it offers a rare chance to encounter Japanese heritage in its most graceful form.

About the Koto

The koto is a traditional stringed instrument with origins in ancient China, introduced to Japan in the 8th century. Its long wooden body and 13 silk strings create an ethereal soundscape that has echoed through centuries of Japanese court music and poetic expression.
