Heatstroke Prevention Advice
Please note that there is a considerable distance from the nearest transportation options to the reception of Kyoto State Guest House. Additionally, the gravel paths within Kyoto Gyoen National Garden can be difficult to walk on, and there is limited shade. As hydration is not available during the guided tours, we recommend drinking plenty of water before your visit to prevent heatstroke.
