Tucked away at the foot of Kodaiji Temple in Higashiyama, Kyoto, Kodaiji Wakuden offers a special space where exquisite cuisine inspired by the changing seasons blends with refined Japanese hospitality.
Stepping into the tranquil cedar-paneled building, guests enter the tranquil, sukiya-style guest rooms.
Through the windows, a garden unfolds, changing with the seasons, and each dish arrives to the table with a touch of natural beauty.

🍽️ [The Allure of Wakuden]
• 🌾 Seasonal Cuisine
Our kaiseki cuisine features delicately prepared Kyoto ingredients, centered around local vegetables and fish. Each dish is infused with the aromas of the seasons: wild vegetables in spring, sweetfish in summer, matsutake mushrooms in autumn, and turnips and crab in winter.
• 🍶The sake vessels and tableware are also works of art.
Note the tableware and lacquerware that complement the food. You can savor the aesthetic sense of Kyoto along with your meal.
• 🏯 The luxury of a location in Kodaiji
After your meal, you can stroll around Kodaiji and savor the atmosphere of Higashiyama. The location is also appealing.
