More about Hotel Okura Kyoto

This traditional hotel has been cultivated by history since its establishment in 1888.

The main lobby - which features an atrium brimming with warmth - and entrance hall - which has quietly marked the passage of time - welcomes all guests.

Located in the heart of Kyoto City, the hotel has plenty of sightseeing areas and historic spots within walking distance that are filled with the traditional Kyoto atmosphere, including Gion, Pontocho, Kamo River, Takase River, Nishiki Market, and more.

At top lounge 'Orizzonte,' enjoy a view of the former capital's townscape from the top floor 60 meters off the ground while dining on a buffet meal with around 60 varieties of cuisine.
