In the Heart of Gion, a Ryokan Reborn from a Historic Teahouse

• 🏮Opened in November 2019, an 8-room ryokan converted from a traditional ryotei restaurant
• 🪵Sukiya-zukuri architecture given a contemporary touch while keeping its old-world atmosphere intact
• 🌿Set on a quiet lane in Higashiyama Ward, just in front of Kodai-ji's north gate in Gion

2

A Private Hinoki Bath in Every Room

• ♨️Every room has its own hinoki (cypress) bathroom for an onsen-like soak without leaving your room
• 🐟Some rooms let you view an aquaterrarium from the bathroom or bedroom, complete with mood lighting
• 🛁Modern comforts round things out, including a washlet toilet and Simmons beds

3

Eight Rooms, Eight Names

• 🛏️Eight rooms ranging from 20.00–34.74㎡, each a Japanese-Western hybrid with bed sleeping
• 🪟Each room has its own character, with garden, aquaterrarium, or street-facing views
• 🏠Split between the main building and a detached annex (hanare) for a more private stay

4

Garden and Lounge, the Mood of the Seasons

• 🍵The lounge overlooking the courtyard stocks books on Kyoto (open 3:00–9:00pm and 7:00–10:00am)
• 🍁A garden of green maples changes face through spring, summer, fall, and winter
• 🌌At night, lighting in the garden and lounge creates a calm mood

5

Kyoto's Landmarks Within Walking Distance

• ⛩️Yasaka Shrine, Kodai-ji, and Kiyomizu-dera are all within walking distance
• 🚶About a 12-minute walk (roughly 920m) from Gion-Shijo Station
• 🗺️Also convenient for reaching Tofuku-ji, Fushimi Inari, Chion-in, Ginkaku-ji, and Heian Shrine

6

The Quiet Scenery of Higashiyama

• 🍃A peaceful corner of Higashiyama where greenery and autumn color meet through the seasons
• 🏯Close enough to enjoy the garden beauty of neighboring temples, including Kodai-ji's Hojo garden
• 🌃Right in the middle of a tourist area, yet tucked down a lane that grows quiet again come evening

Getting There

• 🚖About 15 minutes by taxi (roughly 3.8km) from JR Kyoto Station's Karasuma exit
• 🧭For taxis, it's easiest to say you're headed just south of 'Kodaiji no Wakuden'
• 🕒Check-in 3:00–9:00pm, check-out 7:00–10:00am (arrivals after 9pm by arrangement)

A small ryokan of just 8 rooms, converted from a historic teahouse in Kyoto's Gion district. In a calm space where each room pairs a private hinoki bath with an aquaterrarium, take in Kyoto's four seasons on foot between Yasaka Shrine and Kodai-ji.
