Unique and traditionally styled meeting spaces offer a variety of venues, from the expansive, engaging Ballroom to the Chapel – a dramatic and intimate setting for unique meeting gatherings and receptions.
Gather in the versatile and naturally lit Ballroom for a memorable occasion, or let us customize a special event at a historic temple that’s located nearby. The Ballroom can host a reception of up to 360 guests, but for more intimate events, it can be divided into Ballroom 1 and Ballroom 2.

Built some 800 years ago at the foot of a mountain in the scenic Higashiyama temple district, 10,000-square-metre (100,000-square-foot), circuit-style ikeniwa, or pond garden, is a haven of quiet dignity – and one of the few remaining gardens created at the end of the Heian Period, the peak of Imperial Japan. Wander its tree- and water-lined paths and fill your soul with a resounding sense of peace.

Tucked away in our historic ikeniwa sits our traditional tea house, where Japanese sweets and matcha tea is served and an evening glass of Kyoto sake or premium Champagne on the terrace provides the perfect opportunity to gaze at the sparkling light of the pond's reflections. Private tea ceremony or private function such as cocktail reception is available.
