Park Hyatt Kyoto is launching tea ceremony, lunch and dinner experiences exclusively for hotel guests at the Sanso Kyoyamato restaurant. Located within Park Hyatt Tokyo’s traditional Japanese garden, the Michelin-starred Kyoyamato has been in operation for seven generations since 1877. Its Soyotei building is the oldest, built during the Edo era. It is famed as the place where a 19th-century revolutionary samurai gathered to strategize overthrowing the shogunate, creating a modern Japan under the Emperor. Guests can choose from one of three offers to enjoy a tea ceremony or multi-course kaiseki dining experiences.

Guests are served a traditional six-course menu with seasonal appetizers, soup, sashimi, a grilled dish, a simmered or steamed dish, traditional side dishes, rice and fruit. This offer is limited to a single pair of guests each day (maximum four guests). The offer does not include beverages. Reservations must be made two weeks in advance.
