A Luxury Onsen Escape Near Kiyomizu-dera
Nestled in the tranquil hills of Kyoto’s Higashiyama district, Banyan Tree Higashiyama Kyoto is an intimate retreat with just 52 rooms — a contemporary ryokan-style hotel where Japanese tradition meets modern luxury.
\n Among them, eight exclusive rooms feature natural onsen baths(natural hot spring), offering a deeply restorative experience in complete privacy. From the moment you immerse yourself in the soothing waters, time begins to slow, gently relaxing both body and mind.
\n Although located only a 10-minute walk from the iconic Kiyomizu-dera Temple, the hotel feels worlds away from the bustle of the city — a quiet sanctuary where guests can truly reconnect with themselves.
\n Surrounded by seasonal beauty — from delicate cherry blossoms in spring to vibrant crimson maple leaves in autumn — refined Japanese aesthetics, and Banyan Tree’s signature hospitality, every stay invites a sense of calm, balance, and wellbeing.
