Ritz Carlton Kyoto

The careful design of the Ritz Carlton-Kyoto was based on 5 key words: utage (festive), seido (serenity/movement), iyabi (elegance), hana (splendid), and nagomi (harmony). The result is a quiet yet awe-inspiring atmosphere that reflects both the ancient culture of the surrounding city and the majestic beauty of the Kamogawa river and the Higashiyama mountains, both of which can be seen from most guest rooms. Along with the many Zen gardens, water features, and hotel art collection that guests can enjoy, the Ritz Carlton's restaurants highlights the best of Japanese cuisine.
