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

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
