A Kyoto dining and Accommodation experience in Kikusui, renewed through heritage and evolution This space has been reborn by preserving the value and atmosphere built over time while embracing evolution suited to the present day. Through “Refurbish”—not mere “restoration,” but a thoughtful renewal that retains what already exists, refines it, and makes it new—we have introduced fresh approaches that significantly reshape the image of Kikusui. For example, while rooted in Japanese aesthetics, the space has been redesigned so you can enjoy it without removing your shoes. We have also added a wood deck where you can do more than simply view the garden—spend time feeling at one with its greenery. Even as it changes, we have created a dining and Accommodation setting where you can savor Kyoto’s distinctive charm. Enjoy a luxurious stay as modern art and interiors blend with traditional Japanese design, revealing subtle beauty and refined character throughout.

Akekure Kyoto Shirakawa nestles beside the gentle stream of the Shirakawa River. In a tranquil interplay of light and shadow, water, greenery, and subtle soundscapes softly reflect the changing seasons. A harmonious blend of traditional scenery and nature, refined modern interiors inspired by wabi-sabi, and an elegant sense of space that celebrates “ma.” Enjoy a special stay to savor Kyoto with grace and depth—quiet luxury to remember.
