Boutique hotel Noku Kyoto launches exclusive onsen package

Upscale boutique hotel Noku Kyoto this week launched its exclusive onsen package, in collaboration with Kyoto’s renowned onsen hot spring hotel, Sumiya Kiho-An.

Strategically located opposite the Kyoto Imperial Palace where the imperial family lived for over a century, and adjacent to the Marutamachi subway station, explore the city like a local with Noku Kyoto and rejuvenate in an exclusive private onsen amid Kyoto’s calm.

Until October 7, 2016, treat yourself and your loved ones to Noku Kyoto’s comprehensive onsen package priced at 48,000 yen per person (minimum two). The package includes two nights’ stay in Noku Kyoto’s Deluxe room, private car transfer to and from the onsen hotel, private onsen session followed by a traditional seasonal lunch set where guests can savour the freshest flavors harvested.

Chris Teo, Managing Director of Noku Kyoto’s parent company, Roxy-Pacific Holdings Limited, said: “Noku Kyoto has always pride itself as a host to its guests, showcasing the best spots and hidden gems in Kyoto for a localised experience. We are bringing up this personalised service a notch by giving travellers the best of both worlds – exploring the rich heritage and culture in Kyoto’s vibrant city center and convenient access to enjoy the fresh, crisp air and soothing qualities of Kyoto’s nature in the onsen hotel.”

A perfect respite from the bustling city, Sumiya Kiho-an Hotel is a Japanese ryokan modeled after a traditional Tamba village chief’s thatched mansion. Located within the Yunohana Spa Resort in Kameoka, a 40 minutes’ drive away from Noku Kyoto, emerge yourself in the rustic landscape of the rural resort town as its trees transform into shades of red and orange during the height of autumn.

The onsen package is in line with nine-month old Noku Kyoto’s ethos to showcase Kyoto’s rich heritage and culture to its guests. This commitment can also be seen in the many details of the hotel such as its curated map of Kyoto’s city center that recommends favorite local haunts, restaurants, hidden gems and the best sightseeing spots.

Guests can also reserve personalised walking tours with the hotel’s in-house guides or receive itinerary and day trip recommendations from Noku Kyoto’s staff, gain access into exclusive artisanal houses, as well as other tips and Kyoto travel hacks. Handpicked art pieces unique to each of the hotel’s 81 rooms and common spaces, locally-handcrafted furniture, unique local snacks and beverages found in the minibar, and other personal touches can also be found amidst the hotel’s minimalistic Japanese interiors.
