Room Dining (部屋食 - Heyashoku)
The luxurious dining style where your multi-course Kaiseki dinner is brought directly to your tatami room rather than a restaurant, allowing you to dine privately in your yukata robe.
Historically, high-end retreats offered room dining as the ultimate privacy privilege. Your room attendant carefully serves multiple hot and cold dishes in synchronized courses, showing royal-level service.
Greet and thank your nakai-san as they deliver your elaborate Kaiseki dishes.
