September brings clear blue skies and the first hints of autumn.
A gentler pace begins to settle over Kyoto, offering a different atmosphere from the summer months.
As the heat eases in the evening, a stroll along the Kamo River or a walk through Kyoto’s charming old streets becomes especially enjoyable. Before the autumn leaves reach their peak, this is also a wonderful time to explore the city’s lush green temples and shrines and enjoy its peaceful streets at a leisurely pace.
Why not enjoy the refreshing breeze and set out to discover the first signs of autumn in Kyoto?
After a day of sightseeing, return to the hotel and unwind with a welcome drink in hand.
In the Courtyard on the first floor of the North Building, we host live music performances every day except Sunday, featuring a different lineup of talented artists playing guitar, singing, keyboards, and more.
