Corporate use

Our go-to venue in Kobe for a gala dinner or corporate evening with a view: seated dinner plans for 18 to 80 guests, buffets for up to 150 standing in the Club Hall, and a buyout of every floor for a signature banquet. Microphone, projector and reception desk are included in the plans, and payment by invoice is accepted. The venue sits on the Kitano hillside, so we plan a coach transfer from Sannomiya or Shin-Kobe.
