Kyoto's Hidden Culinary Inn - Heihachi Tea House

Established during the Tensho era as a roadside tea house on the Wakasa Highway, Heihachi Tea House has been cherished by travelers and notable figures for over 440 years. Guests can savor traditional flavors passed down through generations, such as barley rice with grated yam and kaiseki cuisine featuring guji (tilefish), a delicacy highly valued in Kyoto, prepared with the skill and dedication of master chefs.

For those staying overnight, you can rejuvenate your travel-weary body in a traditional Japanese kama-buro (steam bath). It offers an experience that feels like a time trip away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

The garden provides a true encounter with Japan's beauty, showcasing fresh greenery in spring and vibrant autumn foliage.
