Banyan Tree Higashiyama Kyoto has recently launched four experiential accommodation packages designed to allow guests to experience the charms of Kyoto. Taking advantage of its location close to Kiyomizu Temple, the hotel offers guests opportunities to experience Kyoto's traditional culture, nature, and wellness.

The packages contain a kimono experience and photo session within the hotel, chopstick making, calligraphy, tea ceremony, Zen meditation at a temple, spa treatments, and a private dinner experience at a venue on the grounds of Daigo-ji Temple. The hotel expects that the packages will be opportunities to extend the length of guest stays and contribute to local revitalization. 

For a family package to stay in a ‘Serenity King’ room, offering breakfast, dinner at ‘Ryozen’ Japanese restaurant in the hotel, a chopstick making session and a kimono experience and photo session, the price is 626,000 yen for two nights for two guests.
