Kyoto Serenity

A sense of calm permeates the city of Kyoto , located in the western heart of Honshu Island in the Kansai region. From gardens to temples, cherry blossoms to wooden architecture, Kyoto's natural beauty is ever-present. This tranquil identity is also reflected in the simplified approach to gastronomy, which highlights the pure flavor of high-quality ingredients.

Kyoto’s vibrant spirit is best experienced during Gion Matsuri , one of Japan’s largest festivals. Parades of elaborate floats, called yamaboko , are moving art displays, showcasing exquisite local craftsmanship. This same attention to detail is reflected in the Japanese approach to architecture and interior design. While Kyoto’s festivals are colorful and extravagant, the prevailing design aesthetic is more restrained and streamlined, allowing the quality of the materials to speak for themselves and offering a respite from bustling city life.
