Ghost Story LIVE 'Night of Horrors'
■ Anomalies Dwell in an Unused Room.
One of the most important elements in enjoying a ghost story is the atmosphere of the 'space.'
For this event, we will specially open a completely silent Japanese-style suite that has not welcomed guests since the hotel's rebranding open in 2023 due to renovation plans.
Isolated from the hustle and bustle of the city, the 'Japanese room' drifts with a cold, dignified air. It is the ideal stage where each word spun by the storyteller sinks deeply, amplifying the listener's imagination to the absolute limit.
