Six Senses Kyoto introduces a dynamic lineup of new programming for 2026, further deepening its commitment to holistic wellness, cultural immersion, and meaningful guest experiences. From expanded women’s wellness offerings to celestial-inspired Full Moon gatherings and hands-on culinary workshops, the resort continues to evolve as a destination for both restoration and discovery.
Expanded Women’s Wellness Programming
Building on its integrated wellness philosophy, Six Senses Kyoto has introduced a comprehensive women’s wellness program designed to support physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing at every stage of life. Rooted in Kyoto’s cultural traditions and informed by modern functional health insights, the program blends Eastern healing practices with science-backed therapies.
Offerings include tailored maternity experiences such as Pregnancy Watsu Treatments in Kyoto’s only dedicated Watsu pool and customized Pregnancy Body Treatments combining Eastern and Western techniques. For mothers balancing self-care and family time, the resort offers family-friendly wellness menus and shared experiences like Junior Body Treatments and parent-child wellness sessions.
To address burnout and stress, guests can participate in the brand’s signature Sleep Programs (ranging from two to six days) alongside biohacking-focused recovery menus. Additional tools such as non-invasive Wellness Screenings provide flexible access to personalized fitness, mindfulness, yoga, and spa facilities, including the Japanese bathhouse, sauna, and cold plunge.
Full Moon Night Gatherings
New for 2026, Six Senses Kyoto will host a series of Full Moon Night Gatherings, beginning with the Virgo Full Moon on April 1 and continuing monthly through the end of the year. Each gathering invites guests to align with lunar cycles through guided rituals, mindfulness practices, and immersive evening experiences designed to foster reflection, intention-setting, and connection in a serene, culturally rich setting.
New Grow With Six Senses Kids’ Programming
Recognizing the growing demand for enriching experiences for younger travelers, Six Senses Kyoto is expanding its programming with new Grow With Six Senses activities. These interactive workshops encourage creativity, curiosity, and mindful exploration through hands-on learning, offering engaging ways for kids to connect with culture, nature, and wellness during their stay.
From upcycled crafts and origami to traditional Japanese play, each experience is designed to foster creativity while introducing principles of sustainability. This summer, children can explore the spirit of the destination’s Gion Festival by crafting their own hoko floats and chimaki bamboo charms, iconic symbols of this centuries-old celebration with over 1,000 years of history.
Mixology and Japanese Whiskey Workshops
Six Senses Kyoto introduces a series of hands-on beverage experiences that celebrate both global technique and local craftsmanship. In the mixology workshop, guests are guided by expert bartenders through the fundamentals of cocktail creation, from balance and technique to flavor profiling, while working with seasonal Japanese ingredients and regional influences.
Complementing this, the Japanese whisky workshop offers an in-depth tasting journey into one of the country’s most celebrated spirits.
