SHOZAN Resort（しょうざんリゾ－ト）
SHOZAN Resort, located in Rakuhoku, Kyoto, is backed by Eagle Peak and far
away from the downtown area. It is a rare quiet and peaceful tourist spot in
the increasingly popular Kyoto city. The site occupies a vast hinterland of
35,000 square meters, with the courtyard accounting for 1/3 of the total area.Kyoto Maiko Maiko is the name of Japanese geisha in the apprenticeship stage, usually between 14 and 20 years old. They mainly perform Japanese dances, music, musical instruments, etc. at banquets to entertain them. Maiko learn a lot of content and the process is very arduous. These include culture, etiquette, language, decoration, poetry and books, harps, and bowing, pouring wine, etc. There are strict requirements for every move, word and deed, and nobility and stability are reflected in every aspect. During this trip, the maiko will perform in person at the banquet hall where you are dining. Please be sure to prepare your camera so as not to miss every wonderful moment!
※Affected by the epidemic, in the short term, we will take photos with the
maiko at a distance of about 1 meter. The maiko will not wear a mask.
- The night view of Kyoto from the top of Higashiyama Mountain opens up before your eyes, and you can see Kyoto Tower shining like a beacon throughout the neighborhood. Because Kyoto is an ancient capital, there are not too many high-rise buildings. The entire night view from the top of the mountain is as soft and bright as the sparkling ocean.
※Due to weather conditions, traffic, etc., the night view from the top of the
mountain may be changed to a city tour by bus.
- Kaiseki style Kyoto cuisine
Japanese kaiseki cuisine pays attention to the seasonality and freshness of
the ingredients, as well as the presentation of the food, which must be both
rich in variety and pleasing to the eye. The Kyoto-style kaiseki cuisine
enjoyed at SHOZAN is a local cuisine carefully prepared for you using
ingredients produced locally in Kyoto and combined with Kyoto's light, elegant
and noble style.
