Why Stay?
Tucked between the sacred Myoho-in temple and Toyokuni-jinja shrine, Six Senses Kyoto offers an urban sanctuary where ancient traditions meet ultra-modern sophistication.
The 81 rooms and suites – designed by visionary BLINK Design Group – blend earthy organic tones with quirky touches inspired by The Moon Rabbit folklore and the classic Tale of Genji, all whilst maximising views across peaceful courtyards, neighbouring shrine gardens, or Kyoto's mesmerising cityscape of temples and teahouses. Culinary experiences embrace Japan's seasonal rhythms, from Sekki's hyper-seasonal menus inspired by the traditional 24 solar terms to Nine Tails cocktail lounge, where imaginary foxes gather for expertly crafted tipples behind an apothecary-inspired bar.
The acclaimed Sushi Oga Higashiyama brings Osaka's omakase mastery to Kyoto, whilst the spa's traditional male and female bath houses offer authentic Japanese bathing rituals alongside Watsu aquatic bodywork in the city's only dedicated treatment pool. With everything from the intriguing Alchemy Bar to the Earth Lab's sustainability workshops, plus easy access to buzzing Nishiki Market and the colourful Gion district, this is Kyoto's cultural heart made luxuriously accessible.
