The approach to Okura Tokyo: a quiet, boundary-like space

The approach to Okura Tokyo, quietly nestled in the heart of Toranomon, is filled with a serenity that sets it apart from the hustle and bustle of the city. The entrance to the building is like a boundary, where you walk through a garden of lush greenery and water, and from the moment you step inside, everyday life seems to slip away. From a Private Wisdom perspective, this space embodies “harmony” and “coexistence with nature” and fosters peace of mind.

The sound of water and the rustle of greenery in the garden gently enveloped the family in conversation.
