Kyoto, once home to emperors and aristocrats, has a history of more than 1,200 years and is one of the most refined and sophisticated places in the world. This long-standing culture is not an ancient art, but rather a living, evolving tradition that continues to transform in the modern age. People are always fascinated by the beauty and sophistication of its diverse offerings such as its perfectionist Japanese food culture, registered as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage and elegant crafts, from intricate calligraphy to tea ceremony utensils to colorful dyed paper and fabric to glittering gold and silver objects to Kyo-yaki ceramics, and more.
THE HOTEL HIGASHIYAMA by Kyoto Tokyu, opened July 2022, celebrates its First Anniversary offering experiences that allow guests to immerse themselves in Kyoto's unique sense of beauty through all five senses. "Kyo Iroha" is a program of activities that allows guests to sense and feel the culture that has long been the essence of Kyoto and Japan, via a 360 degree, five-perspective approach. The program is a unique experience that can only be enjoyed by seeing, tasting, smelling, hearing, and touching with one's own hands.
