Six Senses Kyoto invites guests to experience cherry blossom season with a curated sakura program, currently on offer through April 19. Centered around the hotel’s courtyard’s weeping cherry trees, the offering blends seasonal dining, wellness-driven cuisine and immersive design rooted in nature.
At the center of the experience is a limited-edition Sakura Afternoon Tea at the hotel’s micro-seasonal restaurant Sekki. Inspired by Japan’s traditional solar calendar, the menu interprets spring through flavor and form, with options like sakura mochi, cherry blossom chirashi sushi, and rice flour scones with white miso and matcha. Each element reflects Six Senses’ Eat With Six Senses philosophy, emphasizing natural ingredients, fermentation, and dishes both nourishing and seasonal.
The hotel’s grab-and-go Café Sekki offers a selection of sakura-inspired sweets and to-go items. Highlights include cherry blossom bagels with red bean and mochi, sakura-shaped pastries and strawberry-infused desserts.
The seasonal programming extends into beverages, with sakura lattes, cold brews and wellness smoothies available throughout the day, alongside a limited cocktail menu at Nine Tails, featuring classic drinks with a Japanese perspective, such as a Sakura Manhattan with cherry blossom and dark cherry notes.
Six Senses Kyoto boasts more than 10 gardens and a central courtyard. During sakura season, terrace seating throughout the property allows guests to take in the blossoms while dining.
