First day

To Kyoto by Shinkansen
Impressed by "Togetsukyo Bridge"
Let's go to Kyoto with him on his birthday once a year ♡ Let's head to Arashiyama, one of the most popular spots in Kyoto by bullet train and train. The moment you see the emotional "Togetsukyo Bridge" is impressive. If you want to go sightseeing empty-handed, you may leave your luggage at the inn first.
Lunch13:30
About 8 minutes on foot from the inn
In "Arashiyama Kijuro"
Enjoy the grilled meat heavy lunch
First of all, why don't you enjoy high-quality grilled meat at "Arashiyama Kijuro", where you can enjoy the garden in the city of Arashiyama? The juicy Japanese beef steak goes perfectly with the Japanese-style sauce that contains the “Arima sansho pepper”.
At “Arashiyama Kijuro,” we had a set menu of wagyu beef “Yakinikuju” with soup rolls and boiled tofu. It was so delicious!

Once you're full, check in at Togetsutei, your accommodation for the night. The interior is full of charm with its eye-catching Japanese furnishings. The sound of the koto also tickles the traveler's mind. Head to your room while enjoying Kyoto-style hospitality.
We were greeted politely while the scent of incense filled the air. I was also happy to receive a welcome matcha green tea and fresh sweets.
Room16:30
Guest rooms with open-air baths
A room full of Kyoto atmosphere
There are two guest rooms, Hekisenkaku on the riverside and Shuzankaku on the mountainside, and the two buildings are connected by an underground passage. There are various types of rooms, such as rooms with open-air baths, rooms with onsen, and Japanese-style rooms with 8 tatami mats. Some rooms have a view of the Oi River.
I stayed at "Kouun no Ma" in Hekisenkaku. It was a very spacious and wonderful room with an open-air bath and a cypress bath facing the river.

Gourmet couples are also very satisfied
Kyo-kaiseki with a sense of the seasons
For dinner, you can enjoy "Kyoto Kaiseki cuisine" in your room or at meal. There are 9 to 10 dishes using seasonal ingredients. Kyoto cuisine is known for its light taste, which does not impair the taste of the ingredients themselves. You can spend a luxurious night suitable for your birthday.
Satisfied with the hearty kaiseki cuisine! We had plenty of dishes using high-quality ingredients such as sashimi grilled, cooked, Japanese, steamed in an earthenware pot, and desserts.

A special girls' trip...
There is a wide variety of rooms full of Kyoto atmosphere. If you want to be particular about the view, consider the Hekisenkaku room, which offers a superb view of the Oi River and Mt. Ogura. If you choose a room with an open-air bath or a semi-open-air bath, you should be even more satisfied.
The Hekisenkaku guest room with a semi-open-air bath was not too big or too small, just the right amount of space for four people. I was also happy with the tea service and the hospitality of freshly made matcha.
Dinner18:00
Enjoy with your eyes and tongue
Enliven your heart with Kyoto Kaiseki
At dinnertime, you can enjoy the monthly "Kyoto Kaiseki Meal" in your room or at the meal place. With 9~10 dishes made with seasonal ingredients, let's take your time to enjoy the beauty of the beautiful ♡ and traditional Kyoto kaiseki like a work of art.

Soak in hot water for beautiful skin
Large public bath & private bath
Next, would you like to soak in Arashiyama Onsen, which is known as the "hot spring for beautiful skin" in the public baths and private baths at "Shuzankaku onsen? There is a separate charge for the private bath, but you can have the large bath all to yourself without worrying about the public eye.
Hekisenkaku, where the guest room we stayed in, and Shuzankaku, where the large public bath is located, are connected by an underground passageway, so after bathing, I was able to return to my room without getting cold.
Night21:00
Women's Talk Booms
evening drink time
After onsen, it's time for a long-awaited chat. Let's have a heartwarming moment. It seems like it would be fun to get along and do skin care together.
