Hotel Review

Roku Kyoto, nestled in the serene outskirts of Kyoto, offers a tranquil escape with its unique blend of modern luxury and natural beauty. The resort's Garden Deluxe rooms, with their private Japanese-style gardens and onsen baths, provide an intimate connection with nature, perfect for relaxation​. The Poolside Deluxe rooms, with direct access to the thermal pool, are a coveted choice for those seeking a blend of privacy and indulgence​. The resort's dining experiences, particularly at the on-site restaurant Tenjin, offer a blend of local and French culinary traditions, with the Chef's Table providing an intimate setting for a memorable meal​. The outdoor thermal pool, a rare luxury in Kyoto, offers a unique way to unwind, with the warmth of the geothermal waters contrasting beautifully against the cooler mountain air​. Roku Kyoto stands out for its luxurious accommodations, exceptional service, and unique setting, making it a sought-after destination for those seeking a peaceful retreat in the heart of Japan's cultural capital.
