We developed a concept of “Exploring the Essential Value of Japan”, the essence of which centers on the hospitality of the tea ceremony, to create a relaxing and healing space to warmly welcome guests along the path and into our tea garden.
The soft glow of Japanese lanterns will light up your once-in-a-lifetime journey.
In a center of traditional Japanese culture, please experience a uniquely Kyoto-style world view and the finest hospitality.
Concept
Zen Candy
The beautiful transparency of our local spring water goes into the exquisite and hotel-original ‘meditation candy’, complimentary for all guests as a ‘Zen candy‘. Focus your attention, spend a few minutes meditating to an original soundtrack based on the natural sound of Kyoto spring water and enter the world of ‘Zen’. Look forward to an incomparable experience; unique to our hotel.

Guest rooms
Enjoy lantern illumination and a “toolbox” that comes complete with a snugly concealed tea set and fixtures which doubles up as a table. What we strove to express was “Yo no Bi”, the ‘beauty of functionality’ that reflects the Japanese value of finding beauty in the simplest of tools. There is no better spot in which to relax and simply enjoy the passing of time while admiring the garden view.
