In this video, Iā€™m taking you to The Prince Kyoto Takaragaike, Autograph Collection, a hidden gem of mid-century modern architecture nestled in the quiet northern outskirts of Kyoto.

Designed by the legendary architect Togo Murano, this hotel is a masterpiece of soft curves and timeless elegance. Our journey begins at Kokusaikaikan Station, walking through the crisp morning air of the Rakuhoku area to reach the hotelā€™s majestic stone entrance.

Inside, weā€™ll explore the Club Guest Room, where 36.9 square meters of refined luxury meet the serene greenery of the surrounding forests. One of the highlights is the circular courtyardā€”an architectural marvel that frames the sky and filters the sunlight into a dance of shadows.

Weā€™ll also indulge in the Club Lounge experience, from the tranquil “Afternoon Tea” to the sophisticated “Cocktail Time” accompanied by the soothing sound of the gardenā€™s waterfall. For a true “Zen moment,” weā€™ll step outside to Takaragaike Park, a vast natural sanctuary where the water reflects the sacred Mount Hiei like a mirror.

To wrap up this retreat, weā€™ll enjoy a sophisticated Pasta Lunch at the main dining, Ito-zakura, before bidding a reluctant farewell to this sanctuary of silence. Join me for a peaceful escape into the “Invisible Luxury” of Kyoto.
