Introducing Osaka’s First Luxury Ryokan Experience
The GENSUI 玄水 floor at Four Seasons Hotel Osaka presents the city’s inaugural luxury ryokan experience. Upon exiting the elevator on the 28th floor, guests are greeted with green tea by specially trained staff and are asked to don slippers or enjoy the soft tatami mats beneath their feet as they walk to their rooms.
Designed by the Japanese studio SIMPLICITY, the accommodations reflect a modern interpretation of traditional Japanese design, offering luxurious yet unobtrusive conveniences. Features include low seating, sliding doors, and washi paper headboards over plush futon-style beds. Guests can also enjoy amenities such as yukatas, a curated minibar, and a traditional bathing stool in the shower. Additionally, GENSUI guests have exclusive access to SABO tea lounge, where bento-style breakfasts, tea ceremonies, and evening sake and wine are served.
Beyond the GENSUI floor, the Hotel offers 130 guest rooms and 24 suites, all featuring stunning city views from the 29th to 35th floors. Each room is adorned with harmonious color palettes, natural wood and stone finishes, crisp white linens, and thoughtful touches that define the Four Seasons experience. While the Presidential, Grand Osaka, and Dojima Suites epitomize luxury, the corner rooms and suites with panoramic city views are a hidden gem for those in the know.
