On the website (fourseasons.com/osaka/services-and-amenities/gensui/), it says adults in a GENSUI room will be charged JPY 5,000 each to enjoy "premium beverage hour". Does that include evening liquor (mentioned in the features above) or just the premium tea selection? I know the IC isn't considered "true luxury", but isn't that included on their club floor?
On the IC: It's hard to tell from the videos online, do they offer a Japanese breakfast in the club lounge?
Aventine thx for the post btw
It was included in my GENSUI stay last year but became chargeable after Feb 2025.

Yes, the IC offers a Japanese breakfast in the club lounge but they also offer the items in the self serve buffet. Diners will often choose steak and eggs or Eggs Benedict (as the sole entree) and self serve themselves the Japanese breakfast items. Effectively, double dipping for both Japanese and Western items.
