About Our Hotel

Room Overview
Living Room
Relish the unique atmosphere of Kyoto while enjoying the comforts of a modern hotel in our spacious living room: Take a relaxing break on the sofa, appreciate the view of the elegant stone garden or have a pleasant conversation while preparing a meal at the kitchen island. Looking up at the underside of the roof from below, past the bridge connecting the rooms on the upper floor, will fill you with feelings of liberation and tranquility.
Kitchen
Utilizing the state-of-the-art building material “Mortex” to create a sleek, modern design, our compact but highly functional kitchen island allows you to have a pleasant chat among the members of your group while preparing a meal.
1F Western Bedroom
Enjoy the peace of night in Kyoto in our cozy double bedroom with wooden flooring. Depending on the time of day, its “reverse latticework” (gyaku-gōshi) design decorating the northern wall might treat you to a mysterious play of light filtering through the transparent parts of the lattice.
Shower Room
How about a soothing bathtime after a long day of sightseeing? Our shower room, which is fitted with a bathtub, is completely barrier-free and can be also accessed by wheelchair users.
