Nestled within 80 acres of serene, lush gardens and bordered by the verdant Hidari Daimonji Forest, this tranquil retreat offers an unparalleled experience of Japan's ancient capital. Paying homage to the traditional ryokan inn, the elegantly minimalist accommodations consist of 24 guest rooms and two exclusive villas, each providing a harmonious blend of contemporary design and local craftsmanship. The floor-to-ceiling windows perfectly frame the sweeping vistas of the surrounding forest and capture the essence of Japan's natural beauty, while the soothing onsen bathing facilities elevate the experience of relaxation and rejuvenation. Dining options are inspired by the region's rich culinary heritage and showcase locally-sourced, seasonal ingredients through exquisite multi-course menus in both à la carte and signature kaiseki styles. The more casual café and bar serve expertly prepared beverages and light bites, combining international flavors and a distinct Japanese touch in a sophisticated setting. On offer are dedicated wellness treatments, including personalized spa experiences and invigorating yoga sessions, designed to align body and mind in this idyllic sanctuary. This luxurious haven is the epitome of refined simplicity, allowing guests to truly immerse themselves in the spirit and tranquility of Kyoto.
