TRY TRADITIONAL JAPANESE CULTURE TOGETHER

If you want to start experiencing Japanese culture already from your Hotel, Urushitei is a great choice for you. Among many other activities, you have the chance to try tea ceremony with your loved one. Get a taste of sencha, feel Japanese Zen Buddhism in action and experience wagashi (traditional Japanese confections) served with your delicious tea.

Upon arrival you can dress in to your yukata (a casual summer kimono) that you can wear in your room or in the common areas of the Hotel. If you wish, we can also arrange your Kimono rental, that you can discover the ancient city of Kyoto dressed in the national dress of Japan.

However, doing something special together, does not stop with tea and kimono. We often organize activities where you can take a deeper look into one of many traditional arts of Japan. Learning something new while being creative together with your partner. We offer calligraphy (traditional Japanese handwriting) , Ikebana (flower arrangement), Japanese Sake tasting and Japanese pottery activities to our guests.

MAKE YOURSELF COMFORTABLE AT THE KYOTO RYOKAN FOR COUPLES

When arriving to our rooms, you face a clean, minimalist space. In our traditional Japanese rooms, you see no bed when stepping into your accommodation. Why is it so? It is for you, that you can experience the traditional Japanese design, space and lifestyle. When you are ready to sleep or would like to lay down for a nap, you can call the room service to set up your futon (Japanese style mattress). Nevertheless, according to our guests, it is great fun to figure it out yourself, and arrange your napping spot in private with your partner.

Japanese futons can be very comfortable and cozy while providing a good night’s rest. Even if you do not choose to use Japanese bedding every night during your visit, a trip to Japan is incomplete without at least sampling the traditional Japanese way of sleeping.

If you use the bus from Kyoto station, then go to the Central Exit (Karasuma Exit) bus terminal, take the city bus #5 or #26. Get off on Karasuma Matsubara, and walk for 10 minutes to the Hotel.

Nevertheless, we recommend you to simply take the taxi from Kyoto station as it is the most convenient method,  and the fair is rather cheap in Kyoto.

The Hotel is only a 8-minute walk away from Nishiki market which is a great start to delve into discovering the vibes of Kyoto. The Kamo river is also only a 6-minute walk away, which runs through the city and provides an excellent surrounding for a cozy walk with Her/Him.
