Agent Tips

  • The only Watsu pool in Kyoto is right here, so make sure you don't leave without booking a session.
Accommodations

Understated and peaceful Japanese design.

Six Senses Kyoto's eighty-one rooms and suites range from 452 square feet to over 2,500 square feet, each designed with a calm, Japanese aesthetic built around natural woods and sustainable materials. Guests can choose their outlook, whether it's the biophilic central courtyard with its seasonal garden, the grounds of the neighboring Toyokuni Shrine, or a panorama of treetops, temples, tea shops, and rooftops.
Pool + Gym

Relax by a tranquil indoor pool.

The indoor pool offers a calm, unhurried setting for laps or a leisurely swim. Tucked within the same space is the resort's dedicated Watsu therapy pool, which is a warm, shallow pool used for one-on-one aquatic bodywork sessions that are as meditative as they are restorative.

The gym is open twenty-four hours and reserved exclusively for guests, with a daily schedule of complimentary fitness activities for those who want a little more structure to their workout.
Spa

The space to recharge and recover.

The spa at Six Senses Kyoto is a destination in its own right. Treatment options span three single rooms and a couple's suite, an Aerial Yoga Studio, and a Biohacking Recovery Lounge, while the Japanese Bathhouse offers two warm baths at different temperatures, a cold plunge, and separate steam and dry saunas for men and women. The Alchemy Bar, Tea Lounge, and Wellness Screening Room round out a program that goes well beyond the typical hotel spa.
Restaurant + Bar

Cuisine guided by Japan's twenty-four micro-seasons.

Sekki and Café Sekki sit at the heart of the dining program, with menus that shift twenty-four times a year in step with Japan's traditional micro-season calendar, always organic, always local, and rooted in the Six Senses philosophy of natural, sustainable ingredients. For something more intimate, Sushi Oga Higashiyama offers an eight-seat counter experience with a focus on the finest seasonal fish.

The Nine Tails Bar pours a well-curated selection of regional sakes and spirits alongside cocktails built on homemade syrups, plus house-made soft drinks including cola and ginger ale.
