Auberge Kikuya

Auberge Kikuya began its journey in 1922 as a tempura specialty restaurant in Kyoto City. To mark its centennial anniversary, the establishment relocated to Ayabe, transforming into a private, one-group-per-day retreat. This location is blessed with the pure headwaters of the Yura River, which produce high-quality rice and a treasure trove of seasonal ingredients.

The inn is housed in a beautifully renovated traditional house over 100 years old. The interior features an open living space with an original earthen floor entryway, a wood-burning stove for gentle winter warmth, and a large custom table made from a 200-year-old pine tree. Guests can enjoy large-screen entertainment, an authentic Finnish-style sauna, and a spacious stone-tiled bathroom equipped with premium amenities. On clear days, the wood deck offers a serene spot for reading or afternoon tea overlooking the countryside.

Kikuya is specifically designed to be pet-friendly, providing a stress-free environment for both dogs and their owners. The property features a private, 400-square-meter artificial grass dog run where pets can play freely. Specialized dog shampoo and conditioner are provided for post-walk grooming, and the bedroom is arranged with mattress beds to make sleeping with small children or pets easier.

Dining is a centerpiece of the Kikuya experience, celebrating its heritage with exquisite Kyo-ryori (Kyoto cuisine) and its signature tempura. Meals are prepared using fresh local ingredients, including "Hime" brand beef, wild game, matsutake mushrooms, and seafood like crab and oysters from nearby Maizuru. It also maintains an extensive collection of local sake and wine to complement the seasonal flavors.
