The rooms and suites have a calm, contemporary Japanese aesthetic, with natural materials, clean lines and views towards the garden or surrounding historic neighbourhood. The hotel feels wonderfully removed from the city despite being within easy reach of Kyoto’s most important cultural sights.

The location is particularly appealing for travellers interested in Kyoto’s temples, gardens and traditional neighbourhoods. Kiyomizu-dera and Tofuku-ji are nearby, while Gion and the historic streets of Higashiyama can be explored easily from the hotel.

Wellness and gastronomy are equally important, with a spa, indoor pool, fitness facilities and a selection of dining experiences designed around Japanese ingredients and traditions. The hotel can also arrange highly personalised cultural experiences, from private temple visits to seasonal culinary and artistic encounters.
