The highlight is the restaurant [THE KAISEKI]. In a space overlooking a garden that reflects Kyoto’s four seasons, guests can leisurely savor a course menu crafted with great care by the chef. This renovation has placed a particular emphasis on the cuisine. Under the theme of “KYOTO CUISINE,” the chefs personally visit producers in Kyoto, engaging in repeated dialogue in the fields and on-site to convey not only the flavors but also the producers’ thoughts and stories through their dishes. Going beyond simply using locally sourced ingredients, each dish—created in collaboration with the producers—promises to be a special experience unique to this region.

A coffee shop where you can pop in even more casually [THE KISSA] The venue offers sweets and afternoon tea infused with traditional Japanese elements. It looks set to become a popular spot for taking a break while sightseeing.
*THE KAISEKI and THE KISSA will open on Monday, March 2.

We’ve also expanded our lineup of hands-on programs that let you experience the charm of Japanese culture firsthand. From tea ceremony and calligraphy to ink wash painting and sushi-rolling workshops, spending time experiencing Japanese culture in spaces that make the most of gardens and historic architecture creates special memories that are a cut above ordinary sightseeing. With the capacity to accommodate groups ranging from 2 to about 100 people, these programs are suitable for everything from individual travelers to business events.

Located in Higashiyama—a quintessentially Kyoto setting—this new destination offers a seamless blend of cuisine, culture, and ambiance. Why not stop by for a special occasion or to treat yourself to a little luxury in your everyday life?
