HOTEL THE MITSUI KYOTO, a Luxury Collection Hotel & Spa, is pleased to announce an exclusive cultural and culinary event at the historic Mitsui family Shimogamo Villa, a Nationally Designated Important Cultural Property. Held over four evenings this autumn, guests can enjoy a specially curated dinner by Chef Tetsuya Asano, Japan's representative for Bocuse d'Or 2027, paired with a live performance of Noh, the traditional Japanese art form.

The Noh presentation led by Haruna Tanaka, an accomplished Noh performer and lecturer, will be accompanied by insightful English explanations on the history, plays, masks, and costumes of Noh theater, enhancing the experience for first-time attendees. Recognized by UNESCO as a World Cultural Heritage in 2001, Noh is a 600-year-old art form combining chant, dance, and music. The Kongo School, one of Noh's five principal schools, is celebrated for its elegant dance and dynamic movements, tracing its origins to the Sakatoh-za sarugaku troupe of the Horyu-ji and Kofuku-ji temples in Nara.

Following the performance, guests enjoy a traditional Japanese bento box dinner featuring fresh Kyoto ingredients and Chef Asano's signature salmon and salmon roe dish, paired with a selection of fine wines. After dining, they can explore Shimogamo Villa, a historic property once owned by the Mitsui family and renowned for its classical Japanese architecture. The villa includes a tranquil garden and a watchtower offering nighttime views of the Higashiyama ridges.
