— What You Can Expect —


  • Kitano Tenmangu Shrine

    Kitano Tenmangu Shrine in Kyoto, dedicated to Sugawara no Michizane, offers a
    serene retreat steeped in history and cultural significance. Surrounded by
    lush gardens and centuries-old structures, the shrine transforms during
    autumn, with vibrant red maple leaves adorning its grounds. As night falls,
    the shrine takes on an enchanting aura, inviting visitors to take a peaceful
    stroll illuminated by strategically placed lights, enhancing the beauty of the
    seasonal foliage.


  • Shozan Resort Kyoto

    Nestled at the base of Mount Takagamine, Shozan Resort Kyoto beckons with its
    captivating blend of extensive Japanese gardens, traditional architecture, and
    a range of amenities, including a wedding chapel, swimming pool, and five
    restaurants. Established in 1951 by Masao Matsuyama, founder of the renowned
    kimono company 'Shozan,' the resort occupies an estate once owned by the
    eminent Edo Period artist Honami Koetsu. Explore the Japanese-style garden
    adorned with famous trees such as plum, cherry, azalea, and maple,
    harmoniously paired with Kishu stones from Wakayama. Specially designated
    flora like Kitayama cedar trees, red plums, and white plums fill the air with
    fragrance year-round, making Shozan Resort Kyoto a tranquil haven where nature
    and history seamlessly converge


  • Maiko Dance Performance

    A Maiko, an apprentice Japanese geisha typically aged 14 to 20, specializes in
    Japanese dance at banquets, accompanied by music and other performances. Their
    training covers culture, etiquette, language, decoration, poetry, music, and
    more. Every action reflects strict requirements, embodying grace and poise.
    During your visit, a Maiko will perform live at the banquet hall, providing a
    unique and captivating experience. Don't forget your camera to capture these
    wonderful moments!


  • Kyoto-style Kaiseki

    Kaiseki is a traditional Japanese multi-course meal that reflects the
    seasonality of ingredients and emphasizes artful presentation. Shozan offers
    Kyoto-style kaiseiki cuisine, a local delicacy thoughtfully crafted with
    locally sourced ingredients from Kyoto. This culinary experience embodies
    Kyoto's light, elegant, and noble style, providing a rich and delightful
    dining experience that celebrates the essence of the region.
