I live in Kyoto—a city I truly love. Kyoto reminds me of something I had forgotten. In the rush of everyday life, I often find myself pressed for time. There are a few places I visit from time to time. A quiet garden surrounded by trees, and a five-hundred-year-old temple steeped in history and tradition welcome me. There are hardly any people around. The flowing water, the falling petals, the moss-covered gardens—all these simple beauties make me pause and notice what I’ve overlooked. Quiet Kyoto touches the soul. This is the Kyoto I want to share with my guests—not just the famous landmarks, but the hidden sanctuaries where the heart can breathe. All you have to do is put yourself on the side of nature. I'm sure you will feel the heart of Kyoto through these encounters.
