■About the activity program “Kyo Iroha”
We will prepare various cultural experiences unique to Kyoto inside and outside the hotel, such as special opening and special viewing of shrines and temples, production experiences such as lacquerware, kiln things, crafts, etc., and lectures on “food” such as broth and Kyoto confectionery.

◆About Logo Design
I symbolically expressed that it is an experience of learning, deepening, and expanding from the first form (the first Iroha).

An example of “Kyo Iroha”: Fan Xing and tea ceremony experience
When you go through the gate, you will see the appearance of Kyomachiya unique to Kyoto and a garden with stone lanterns. In the seat of Kyomachiya, we reproduced the “throwing fanning” that is said to have been popular among the common people in the Edo period. It is a game to throw a fan at a target set up on a paulownia box stand and compete for points. After enjoying it while being taught carefully with reference to the model of the young lady general, you can guide you to a full-fledged tea room and experience “tea table”. It is a program where you can enjoy the traditional culture of play and tea from “Iroha”.
