Six Senses Kyoto

Historically the capital and still thought to be the cultural and historical heart of Japan, Kyoto is famed for its Buddhist temples, Shinto shrines, palaces, traditional Japanese architecture, beautiful cherry blossoms, and mountains covered in centuries-old cedar trees surrounding the city. You’ll find us in Higashiyama, a prime location to enjoy an urban sanctuary and welcome recharge ready to discover many delights on the doorstep. We’re an easy walk from the Myoho-in Temple, Kyoto National Museum and Sanjusangendo Buddhist Temple. Choose your view in one of our 81 rooms and suites – either our garden or the famous 16th-century Toyokuni Shrine opposite us – with the design inspired by folklore, The Moon Rabbit, and the Tale of Genji.
