Rooms with Garden Views
Nanzenji Sando Kikusui offers five individually decorated guestrooms with air conditioning, soundproof walls, and balconies overlooking the garden designed by Jihei Ogawa VII. Each room includes a free stocked minibar, flat-screen TV, safety deposit box, and private bathroom with separate bathtubs featuring deep soaking tubs and rainfall showerheads. Quadruple rooms contain 2 beds, while twin rooms also accommodate 2 guests.
Japanese and Western Dining
The property features a restaurant serving Japanese kaiseki courses that blend traditional techniques with seasonal ingredients, including Nanzenji's famous yudofu (hot tofu) for lunch. Western cuisine courses utilize local Kyoto ingredients with dishes inspired by the garden. Guests receive an exclusive Japanese breakfast with seasonal vegetable soup and earthenware pot-cooked rice. The coffee shop/café serves snacks, and the bar/lounge offers drinks.
Garden and Terrace Access
Guests can explore the Japanese garden created by landscape architect Jihei Ogawa VII, which changes with the seasons. The property provides a shared terrace with garden views, a shared lounge area, and a ballroom for events. Free self parking is available on site.
Near Nanzen-ji Temple
Located 300 meters from Keage Station, the ryokan is 500 meters from Nanzen-ji Temple. It sits 1.5 km from Samurai Kembu Kyoto, 2.4 km from Gion Shijo Station, and 3.3 km from Kyoto International Manga Museum. Shoren-in Temple is 1 km away, while Heian Shrine and Sanjusangendo Temple are within a 15-minute drive. Itami Airport is 48 km from the property.
24-Hour Front Desk
The 24-hour front desk staff speak English and Japanese, providing concierge services and practical area guidance. Luggage storage and complimentary newspapers are available in the lobby. Free WiFi operates throughout public areas and all guestrooms.
“This ryokan offers a compelling mix of classic Japanese inn and contemporary comfort, placing guests near Nanzen-ji Temple and other cultural spots. The personalized dining, with both Japanese and Western cuisine, stands out as particularly memorable, while rooms offer a view of manicured gardens. Although slightly removed from the city center, the exceptional service and tranquil setting create an immersive Kyoto experience.”
