MICE strengths

  • Walking distance to Gion, Yasaka and Kiyomizu for evenings and visits
  • Right-sized for an incentive group of 50 to 120 people
  • Communal bath (daiyokujo) appreciated after a day of touring
  • Contemporary Japanese atmosphere, more intimate than a large hotel

Why choose it

For an incentive group or leadership team that wants to experience Kyoto on foot, away from the main arteries, in a hotel on a human scale.

Possible limits

No large meeting room: plenary sessions must be held elsewhere. Narrow streets around the hotel make coach access difficult; transfers are often by minibus or taxi.

Airport

Kansai (KIX): about 75–80 min by JR Haruka to Kyoto Station, then about 15 min by taxi. Itami: about 55 min by limousine bus to Kyoto Station.

Station

About 10 min on foot from Gion-Shijo Station (Keihan line); close to Yasaka Shrine and Kennin-ji Temple.
