In Kyoto's Higashiyama district, Six Senses Kyoto stands close to Myoho-in and Sanjusangen-do temples. Its 81 rooms and suites draw on the Tale of Genji, Japanese folklore and the courtly idea of miyabi, with views towards the internal courtyard, city or neighbouring gardens. Sekki interprets Japan's micro-seasons through locally sourced ingredients, Café Sekki serves drinks and pastries, and Nine Tails is the cocktail bar. Six Senses Spa includes an indoor pool, Watsu pool, Japanese baths, sauna, steam room, yoga studio and Alchemy Bar. A courtyard and herb garden sit at the centre of the hotel.
