Private Journeys in Kyoto
The Quiet Hours of Kyoto
Kyoto rewards those who arrive early and leave late. We arrange both.
Temple gardens before the gates open, a ryokan of a handful of rooms, and kaiseki by a chef who rarely cooks for guests.
Day by day
Days 1–2
Arrival and Higashiyama
Private transfer to a ryokan in the old quarter and an evening walk through lantern-lit lanes.
Days 3–4
Gardens at first light
Temple gardens opened before the public, a tea ceremony with a master, and an afternoon with a textile artisan.
Days 5–6
Arashiyama and farewell
The bamboo groves at dawn, a river lunch and a final kaiseki dinner.
Where you’ll stay
A ryokan in Higashiyama
A handful of rooms, cedar baths and a garden that changes every season.
