MICE strengths

  • Mizuho hall: 1,650 m², 2,000 theater-style, divisible into four
  • Aoi-den (343 m²) with stained glass of Kyoto's three great festivals, for gala dinners
  • Around twenty banquet and meeting spaces
  • Japanese gardens and Higashiyama views for breaks and receptions
  • Free shuttle from Kyoto Station

Why choose it

For a convention of 300 to 1,500 people wanting the plenary and gala dinner in the same hotel, with the prestige and setting of historic Kyoto.

Possible limits

Away from Kyoto Station (25-min shuttle); large groups need coaches. The hillside site means moving between buildings.

Airport

Kansai (KIX): about 75–80 min by JR Haruka to Kyoto Station, then about 25 min on the hotel's free shuttle (Hachijo Exit). Itami: about 55 min by limousine bus to Kyoto Station.

Station

2-min walk from Keage Station (Tozai subway line); free shuttle from Kyoto Station.
