Scapes The Suite
Modernist beach house
Modernist beach house
With just four suites right on Morito Beach, it runs like a quiet seaside home looking out toward Mount Fuji.
What it’s good at
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The design is endlessly calming in itself, without resorting to tired international minimalism or easy Zen clichés — the polished hardwoods and earth-tone modernist furnishings may feel slightly retro, but never dated.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Morito Beach sits right outside, and complimentary beach cruisers are ready for rides along the coast.
The rooms
Each suite opens onto a private balcony over the sand, finished in colors drawn from the local coast.
The rooftop jacuzzis
Indoor and outdoor jetted tubs sit on the top floor, looking out across the water toward Enoshima.
SCAPES THE SUITE RESTAURANT
The open kitchen prepares French-accented dishes using morning-harvested Miura vegetables and seafood from Sagami Bay.

The eight vibes

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.
Luxe
Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
