Discover the enchanting charm of Kyoto, Japan, where ancient traditions harmoniously blend with modern delights. Immerse yourself in a world of breathtaking beauty as the city transforms into a wonderland surrounded with delicate pink hues during cherry blossom season. One quarter of Japan’s national treasures, including many shrines and temples, along with 17 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, can all be found in the city of Kyoto. Stroll through historic temples, serene gardens, and charming streets adorned with blooming cherry blossoms, altogether creating an atmosphere that truly captivates all of the senses. Embrace the magic of Kyoto’s cherry blossoms.
Throughout our retreat, we will have the pleasure of savoring authentic Japanese cuisine, carefully prepared using fresh, locally-sourced ingredients. From delicate sushi rolls to flavorful bowls of noodles; from the artful presentation of kaiseki meals, to the comfort taste of fresh tofu cuisine – every meal will be a delightful experience that celebrates the richness of Japanese culinary traditions.
While our taste buds are being treated to culinary delights, our accommodations will provide a haven of comfort and charm. We have selected a beautiful hotel located in the heart of Kyoto, a modern establishment with a unique history. Once an elementary school, this hotel has been transformed into a sophisticated accommodation, blending contemporary amenities with a touch of nostalgic charm. The hotel includes a lounge exclusively for guests where we can spend time sitting by the fireplace, sipping free tea, coffee, and wine, winding down at the end of our enriching day. The spacious and well-appointed rooms will offer a serene sanctuary for rest and rejuvenation, ensuring a comfortable stay throughout our retreat.
