Kyoto has shaped Japan’s identity for over a millennium,
and the Higashiyama neighborhood where Chourakukan
is located is its cultural and religious heart.
Home to numerous venerable shrines and temples as
well as the famed pleasure quarters of Gion, it’s the
ideal place to encounter traditional aesthetics, culture
and hospitality.
Exclusive to Chourakukan, we offer tours of the
nearby Chion-in Temple with insider access to
areas usually closed to the public, and excursions
to Enryaku-ji Temple on Mt. Hiei where you’ll
visit the former main residence of Kichibei Murai
moved there from its original location in Tokyo.
Guests can also choose from a selection of other
cultural experiences such as banquets with maiko
and geiko. All activities are completely private to
ensure a truly immersive and intimate experience.
Come away with a deeper appreciation of the
beauty and traditions of Kyoto, and an enriched
perspective on this captivating city.
