Last week I wrote about the unique footbath on the roof of MORI LIVING's newest residence, but that isn't the only amazing feature this building has to offer.
Inside Hirakawacho Mori Tower Residence, manager Ippei Fujieda showed us another unique aspect of this residence--a stone sauna, complete with a view of Mt. Fuji on a clear day. Residents can book this relaxation room for two hours for up to four people.
There is a shower room, changing area, vanity, lockers, and a waiting/relaxation space in addition to the stone sauna itself. Inside the sauna, a large stone slab is heated from beneath, and visitors lie on a towel on top of the stone.
According to Fujieda, this is quite possibly the only stone sauna that is this high up in Tokyo. "Most other ones are completely enclosed, without even windows, let alone a view," he says. The soothing heat and peaceful view of Mt. Fuji across the city is sure to put even the most agitated mind at ease!
Other facilities on the rooftop of Hirakawacho Mori Tower Residence include a fitness room with seven machines (each complete with its own individual television monitor and cable TV channels) and a spacious Sky Lounge.
Created by famed designer Ryu Kosaka, the entire building is outfitted in a minimalist modern zen style, incorporating calming, natural shades of beige, brown and grey. The Sky Lounge can be booked out for private parties of up to about 50 people, and includes top of the line kitchen appliances, including a teppanyaki grill. With facilities like these, entertaining guests has never been easier...or more stylish.
