Based on the concept of “carving memories and passing them on to the future,” we will carve the history of the school, which has been loved by the local community for many years, while carefully passing it on and passing it on to the future. As you walk through the entrance from the approach to the world heritage site Kiyomizu-dera Temple, you will find a tranquil space with only 48 rooms on a site of approximately 7,000 square meters.

While retaining nostalgic features such as arched windows and exterior decorations that look just like a Western-style building, the hotel is a luxurious space that harmonizes modern design with traditional Kyoto elements.
