Kyoto State Guest House is delighted to offer premium guided tours for small groups on the following dates:
 December 4 (Thu) – 7 (Sun)
 January 24 (Sat) – 27 (Tue)
In addition to the regular guided tour of the open areas, these special tours include exclusive access to two rooms that are usually closed to the public: Taki-no-Ma, where private dining takes place during state guest visits, and Suimei-no-Ma, the venue for summit meetings with world leaders.
At Taki-no-Ma, enjoy an exclusive seated viewing experience of the garden waterfall just outside the window. The sound of the waterfall, resonating in the stillness of winter, will clear your mind.
This year’s premium guided tour commemorates the 20th anniversary of Kyoto State Guest House with a special live demonstration of movable interior features in motion, a rare sight during public openings.

For details, please see Premium Guided Tours.
