I am confident that Roku Kyoto will deliver a bespoke experience of Kyoto and fully immerse travellers in the unique charms of the city, attracting both domestic and international travellers once it is safe to travel again,” said Alan Watts, president, Asia Pacific, Hilton.

Situated beneath the Takagamine mountains in northern Kyoto, Roku Kyoto is nestled within the 28.6-acre Shozan Resort Kyoto, a luxury enclave home to some of Kyoto’s most notable and idyllic Japanese gardens, historic architecture and authentic tea houses. The hotel is located within walking distance from the Kinkaku-ji “Golden Pavilion”, Koetsuji Temple and Genkoan Temple.
