About Nanzenji sando Kikusui
On Kyoto’s eastern fringe, not far from the temple and shrine complex at Mount Hiei, Nanzenji sando Kikusui is an object lesson in the timeless tranquility of Japanese hospitality. Every inch of the grounds is given over to a masterfully designed garden, including a koi pond and authentic Sukiya-style architecture from its past life as a kimono merchant’s villa. Just six guestrooms, one with in-room spa facilities, come in varied ratios of Japanese-to-Western décor, each a study in exquisitely worked materials and contemplative garden views.
