Higashiyama Ryokan
A twelve room ryokan in the temple district with private cypress baths, kaiseki dinner in your room and the Philosopher's Path at the end of the lane.
Overview
The ryokan has been receiving guests since 1897, on a lane below the Higashiyama hills that most visitors walk past. Twelve tatami rooms open onto a moss garden or a private courtyard and each has a hinoki cypress bath filled from a natural hot spring. Dinner is a twelve course kaiseki served in the room by the okami, and breakfast is Japanese or Western as you prefer. The staff speak good English and will arrange a tea ceremony, a private visit to a temple garden before it opens and a driver for Arashiyama. Kiyomizu-dera is a ten minute walk, Gion fifteen. It is quiet by design and children under twelve are not accommodated.
