The Soul of Kyoto: A Dreamy, Elegant Art Museum of a Hotel That Blends the Old with the New.

Step into this unique Kyoto hotel and it's as if you've traveled back in time. The air is steeped in the elegance of the Heian period. The designers used The Tale of Genji as a blueprint, retelling the classic tale with a modern aesthetic. The result is a series of exquisite paintings that pay homage to the glorious past of the ancient city of Kyoto. The building's exterior is calm yet dynamic. Natural stone and warm wood complement each other, revealing a rustic beauty that only grows with time. Step through the door and you'll be greeted by centuries-old craftsmanship. The intricate weaving of Nishimura Shoten and the colorful ceramics of Yoshimura Rakunyu are as beautiful as Mt. Kurama in the early morning light, their colors shifting with the changing light. The guest rooms are uniquely laid out, from the simple and elegant extra-large suites to the luxurious and spacious penthouses. Each space is full of meaning. The private terraces are the icing on the cake, inviting you to sit and enjoy a cup of tea while watching the clouds and savoring the many facets of life. Art is not just a decoration here, it's the soul that flows through the blood. The innovative interpretation of the national treasure "Birds and Beasts Caricature" and the clever integration of Kyoto "Rakuyaki" tiles create a visual and spiritual feast. The healing path of tradition and modernity leads each visitor to explore the tranquility deep within. Food is also a highlight. "All Day Dining Sekki" prepares dishes according to the changing seasons, allowing you to enjoy the freshness of the four seasons. The hidden "Nine Tails" bar, with its unique cocktails and mysterious atmosphere reminiscent of an antique pharmacy, awakens a long-lost sense of curiosity. This is not just a place to stay, but a cultural journey through time and space, a complete release of body and mind. The soul of Kyoto is vividly interpreted here, waiting for every traveler who longs to touch the pulse of ancient Oriental civilization.
