VENUES
Five venues large and small are scattered about our 1.4-acre grounds at the foot of the scenic mountains in Kyoto’s Higashiyama district.
Since each offers a different style of interior decoration and scenic outlook, together they lend themselves to a variety of purposes. We can accept reservations ranging from 20 persons to exclusive booking of all five venues for as many as 500.
In The Sodoh's magnificent setting, your guests or participants will enjoy a one-of-a-kind experience.
EVENT PLANNINGS
From small-group meetings and dinner parties to large receptions and gala dinners, The Sodoh can provide the venue you require. We'll respond flexibly to food requests and dietary restrictions, as well as exclusive-booking needs.
RESTAURANT & BAR
In one corner of the grounds we have an Italian restaurant where the fare is based on traditional Italian cuisine
and incorporates the seasonal delights of Kyoto.
In the hideaway bar remodeled from a venerable inn with a history of about 100 years, we offer a wide selection of beverages such as Japanese SAKE.
