The rooms
Floors hold only six to ten suites each, buffered by double-walled soundproofing and finished with chemical-free timber furnishings.
The rooftop pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The 16th-floor heated infinity pool looks across the city skyline, sheltered under a geometric canopy with potted bonsai.
The baths and spa
Tiled soaking pools and timber saunas occupy the 16th floor, and dedicated suites on the fifth offer Swiss skincare treatments.
At the table
Chefs cook over curved teppan counters at Ukai-tei, and Dassai Bar pours specialized sake flights from Asahi Shuzo.
How it began
Local developer YUIMOM Group spent over a decade planning the tower, naming it after the Latin word for stream.
