Year-round activity program
Wild Bird Sanctuary and Trail
Located on the mountain behind the hotel, Mount Kacho, this walking course allows you to casually enjoy bird watching and forest bathing.
Although it is located near the city, you can experience nature up close and enjoy the changing seasons, such as the ecology of approximately 50 species of wild birds, cherry blossoms in spring, the sound of cicadas in summer, autumn leaves in fall, and the tranquil scenery of the winter forest.
Museum tour
Hotel staff will provide a detailed tour of the hotel's facilities, including the Japanese garden and rooftop garden, as well as the artwork and furnishings.
Since its founding in 1890, The Westin Miyako Kyoto has built up a long history. With the desire to allow everyone to see the history and tradition it has built as a hotel for state guests, we opened the exhibition space "Miyako Gallery" on October 25, 2020.
To coincide with the opening of the Miyako Gallery, we are offering tours of the hotel for guests staying at the hotel.
Yoga
Well-being on the road
You can enjoy morning yoga in the rooftop garden overlooking the cityscape of Kyoto, or private lessons in your room. The rich nature of Higashiyama will release tension in your mind and body and help you relax. Our instructors will provide thorough instruction, so even beginners can feel at ease.
High-end kimono rental
True luxury
We have everything from traditional kimonos to the latest, fashionable and innovative kimonos. Come and experience the real colors, patterns and textures. We can also help you get dressed in your room and arrange for a private photographer for an additional fee.
Making scents
Create scent memories
Shoyeido was founded in Kyoto about 300 years ago. You can visit the "Incense Studio" on the second floor of the Kyoto main store, where the company manufactures its fragrances, and experience making your own original fragrance. Why not take this opportunity to create some fragrant memories?
Japanese craftsmanship experience
Turn your memories of Kyoto into tangible form.
You can enjoy hands-on crafting experiences that allow you to connect with Kyoto's traditions and culture within the hotel. We offer three experiences: "Scented Pouch Making" where you choose and create your own fragrance, "Kyoto Spinning Top Making," a traditional Kyoto craft, and "Fan Painting" where you can freely draw with watercolor brush pens.
Miyama sightseeing and camping experience
