Two-night event on Sunday, April 6th and Monday, April 7th, 2025

Ninna-ji Temple, a World Heritage Site, has been written about in many waka poems as a famous cherry blossom spot since the Edo period. Many people visit in the spring when Somei Yoshino cherry blossoms, weeping cherry blossoms, and the famous late-blooming Omuro cherry blossoms compete to bloom in the vast grounds. A special plan has been decided to hold after the general viewing closes, allowing a small group of about 30 people to visit Ninna-ji Temple exclusively. The tour lasts just under two hours and includes an evening visit to the Imperial Palace Gardens, a sermon in the Kondo (normally closed to the public), and a stroll around the grounds (Omuro cherry blossoms). We promise you a precious experience that can only be enjoyed for two nights.

Enjoy an elegant dinner with the lingering aroma of cherry blossoms.

After returning to the hotel, enjoy dinner at our proud restaurant. This popular Western restaurant offers Chinese cuisine that combines the gentle flavors of Kyoto with the dynamism of Chinese cuisine, a wide variety of buffets, and a choice of main dishes. Please choose your favorite restaurant for each group.

High-quality rooms and a popular breakfast will soothe your travel fatigue.

The rooms are 38 to 42 square meters, so there is plenty of room even if you open your large suitcase. For breakfast, you can choose between a Kyoto-style Japanese set meal or a Western-style buffet. We also recommend taking a walk in Kyoto Gyoen before or after check-in or after breakfast. You can spend an elegant time that is unique to your travel destination.
