the table
Dining
Breakfast is served in the hotel, and the evenings belong to the city: on The Classic Cherry Blossom Tour of Japan that means a kaiseki dinner at a two-Michelin-star restaurant in Kyoto, and an evening with geiko and maiko in a teahouse room of Gion.
the setting
Kyoto
The hotel sits among the machiya streets between Yasaka Shrine and Kodai-ji, in the part of Kyoto that still looks most like the old city: tiled roofs, latticed fronts and stone-paved slopes climbing towards Kiyomizu-dera.
The lanes of Higashiyama begin at the door, the Yasaka pagoda rises above the rooftops, and Gion and the Shirakawa are a short walk downhill.
