Six Senses Kyoto exterior.
If you don’t need to be right in the center of town and you value being able to walk to some beautiful temples and great museums, you might like the Six Senses Kyoto. I used to live near here and I can tell you that it’s a great neighborhood with enough shops and restaurants to keep you from having to head downtown every time you need something or want to eat. I particularly like the walking routes in the Tofukuji area a little south of this hotel.

Six Senses Kyoto lobby lounge.
Some of the rooms here have great views and all of them have excellent Japanese style. You’ll also enjoy the outdoor seating area, the stylish lobby and the spa. So, for a relaxing stay in Southern Higashiyama, have a look at the Six Senses Kyoto.
