The Concept of TABI: Zen, Wa, and the Five Senses

TABI embodies an 'aesthetic of subtraction,' showcasing spirituality and sustainability as integral facets of its identity.
Upon entering, guests will immediately sense the peaceful ambiance, crafted through carefully selected art, attentive hospitality, and functional design that facilitates a serene experience. The design heavily features Japanese beauty, creating a space where guests can engage their five senses in the world of 'wa.'
