The Westin Miyako Kyoto (266) - A Thousand-Year Grove in the Hills

Seventeen daylight rooms ring a 2,000-pax pillar-free ballroom; the hotel’s shuttle loops every ten minutes between Kyoto Station and Higashiyama sights, so even 800-person congresses move smoothly. Garden terraces hold torch-lit welcome dinners; a resident monk leads dawn meditation, while the bird sanctuary and 4 km forest trail supply wellness breaks without leaving campus.

Red maples blaze above tinkling streams; guests soak in mineral baths fed by hilltop springs, then sip usucha in a century-old tea cottage. Evening brings lantern-lit pathways and maiko performances against the silhouette of Mt. Daimonji. The property fuses true resort breathing-space with five-star meeting muscle, delivering Kyoto’s nature, culture and hospitality in a single green amphitheatre.
