Enter a world where fantasy and futurism collide. Haii Keii is a sensory spectacle, drawing inspiration from the neon-drenched streets of Blade Runner and the cinematic intensity of Kill Bill.
This immersive dining experience blurs the line between reality and illusion, transporting guests to a surreal reimagining of a Japanese ryokan, set against the energy of a bustling metropolis.
From the moment guests step through the glowing red entrance—an ethereal gateway into the unknown—reality begins to distort. The journey unfolds through a shadowed passageway where blue light softly cascades down metallic surfaces, heightening the sense of intrigue. Etched panels flicker and shift, guiding visitors toward the heart of the space—a not-so-traditional ryokan infused with mystery and modernity.
Inside, larger-than-life shadows move behind oversized shoji screens, hinting at the unseen world beyond. Overhead, a breathtaking, inverted bonsai tree crowns the bar, suspended from a reflective ceiling that warps perception. The upstairs mezzanine offers an enigmatic hideaway where portals—both literal and metaphorical—invite curiosity.
A red mirror behind a suspended tree-light serves as a hypnotic focal point, while red rope-wrapped banquettes evoke the allure of an enchanted bamboo enclave or the backroom of a shibari rope studio.
Textures and materials amplify the surrealism: charred wood beams whisper of a space with history, now transformed; obsidian pebbles behind the bar reflect light like the scales of a sleeping dragon; lacquered and mirrored surfaces distort dimensions, casting guests into a realm where perception bends. Chromatic contrasts electrify the space—inky blue-purples hum with an otherworldly glow, while flashes of Louboutin-red lacquer echo the gloss of a fast car, the perfect lipstick pout, or the hidden layers of a Maiko’s elaborate hairstyle.
Red silk rope curtains weave through intimate seating areas, balancing seclusion with voyeuristic tension. Even the restrooms extend the illusion—glowing doors and coordinated fixtures make every moment part of the performance.
At Haii Keii, guests willingly surrender to a pocket-realm where the mysterious and the seductive intertwine. A place where light, shadow, and color conspire to craft an unforgettable, otherworldly experience.
