Kiraku Kyoto Higashiyama

" Kiraku Kyoto Higashiyama, " an entire-house rental property where guests can enjoy a lounge overlooking a Japanese garden and a Shigaraki-ware bath, is a quiet retreat nestled in a back alley near the Shirakawa River, which flows through Kyoto’s Higashiyama district. The inn accommodates only one group per day.
Conveniently located just a 3-minute walk from Higashiyama Station, it is within walking distance of Kyoto’s most famous landmarks, such as Heian Jingu Shrine, Seiryo-in Monzeki, and Chion-in Temple. A short walk further takes you to Gion, the ancient capital’s vibrant geisha district.
Facing the former residence of Yasuyuki Namikawa (a Nationally Designated Cultural Property), built during the Meiji period, the inn offers a lounge overlooking the beautiful Japanese garden designed by the seventh-generation Jihei Ogawa; Japanese paper art depicting red and white plum blossoms adorning the bedrooms; and a semi-open-air bath crafted from Shigaraki ware, complete with its own private courtyard garden—features that set it apart even within Kyoto.
Feel the passage of timeless, leisurely moments as you enjoy a luxurious experience—sipping a drink at the bar while gazing out at the beautiful Japanese garden.
