Lobby

Water features that reflect both light and sky; a Japanese garden that changes colors with the seasons; the Okura Heritage Wing lobby—inspired by the reception room in a classic Japanese house—and the building's relaxed Library; and the Okura Prestige Tower lobby and mezzanine, which have inherited both the style and atmosphere of the Main Building lobby. Together, they weave a tapestry of Japanese beauty that welcomes guests into The Okura Tokyo.
