Kyoto Park Hyatt | Soaking in a rooftop bath in Ninenzaka is a dream come true!!!

Sisters!! I've discovered a hidden gem of a hotel in Kyoto!! I can sit in my suite and watch tourists taking photos in Ninenzaka 👀 While I soak in a LELABO scented bath on the roof, overlooking the ancient capital. Who understands this joy of "everyone is busy, but I'm the only one who is free"!!! 🏮 "Living in a World Heritage Site with Japanese Aesthetics" Hyatt's top luxury brand really knows how to choose locations!! It's directly embedded in the century-old street at the foot of Kiyomizu-dera Temple. Every day when I open the window, I see young ladies in kimonos taking pictures 👘 While I drink Dassai sake, a gift from the hotel, and watch them pass by in a hurry. Who understands this joy of having a God's-eye view 😭 🛏️ "Kyoto's Twelve Hours in a 68㎡ Suite" ▫️ Early morning: Waking up to the woody fragrance of a century-old machiya ▫️ Afternoon: Lounging on the tatami mat and eating Park Hyatt's custom-made Japanese sweets ▫️ Dusk: Soaking in the LELABO bathtub and watching the lanterns light up in Ninenzaka ▫️ Late night: Finishing the free mini-bar and opening a bottle of Yamazaki whisky I must give a special shout-out to the intelligent toilet seat!! The moment I sat on it in winter, I finally understood the Japanese obsession... 🍵 "A Guide to Eating Your Way Through Park Hyatt" ✔️ Breakfast delivered directly to your room: Salmon roe rice + freshly made matcha ✔️ Teppanyaki restaurant blind order: A5 Wagyu beef will burst with juice!! ✔️ Hidden way to eat: Be sure to order the bar's "Kyoto Twilight" special ✔️ Freebie guide: Free-flowing champagne at the lobby bar from 5–6pm Who understands the joy of a foodie gaining 5 pounds in three days!! 📸 "Photo Spots with a 100% Success Rate" 1️⃣ Suite floor-to-ceiling windows + Ninenzaka street view (recommended to shoot in the early morning) 2️⃣ The dry landscape garden in the hotel corridor (wear plain-colored kimono) 3️⃣ Rooftop private bath + Kyoto Tower in the same frame (dusk blue tone moment) 4️⃣ Lobby spiral staircase + art installation (wide-angle upward shot) ⚠️ "Real Experience Ramblings" ❶ Be sure to choose a high floor! The low floors will be surrounded by tourists taking a bath ❷ The back door of the hotel leads directly to Nene no Michi. Contract the empty alley at 7am in the morning ❸ There will be surprises for anniversaries! We received a handwritten waka bookmark ❹ Although the gym is small, it can overlook Yasaka Pagoda. Maximize the motivation for morning runs 📍 Address: Park Hyatt Kyoto (Higashiyama Ward) 🚇 Transportation: 15 minutes by taxi from Kyoto Station / 206 bus directly 💰 Price: Basic room 6k+ Suite 1.5w+ (worth saving money for!) The three days at Park Hyatt felt like stolen time. Watching the tourists outside the window come and go in a hurry While I alone enjoy the morning and evening of the ancient capital in the clouds Only then did I understand the true meaning of "hiding in the city"
