The pool and the spa

the table
Dining
The Japanese dining rooms each keep to one art: a kaiseki of Kyoto, Edomae sushi at an eleven-metre counter dressed in Wajima lacquer, tempura of the season's vegetables and seafood, and teppanyaki of lobster and Japanese beef from an open kitchen. The Italian dining room is panelled in wood and laid with tatami, and the lobby lounge serves afternoon tea among works by Japanese artists.
the setting
Kyoto
The hotel lies on the west bank of the Kamo River, by the Nijo Ohashi bridge, where the river path runs north and south through the city and the Higashiyama hills rise beyond the far bank. Check-in is taken over Japanese tea, and more than four hundred works of modern Japanese art hang through the hotel.
The path along the Kamo River passes the door, Pontocho and the arcades of Teramachi are a short walk south, and Gion lies across the river.
