Rooms with Kyoto Views

Some rooms feature a terrace, sofa, and library space with a writing desk. Note: One twin room does not accommodate children under 10 due to fragile decor.
Traditional Kyoto Dining
The hotel features Ishigamatei restaurant, serving seasonal Kyoto vegetables like bamboo shoots in spring and Kamo eggplant in summer. A 160-year-old chakaiseki restaurant offers Kyoto-style multi-course meals. Guests can enjoy an all-you-can-eat ochazuke buffet with various pickled vegetables, or try five types of Suzunari dango with flavors like Kyoto-style white miso and black sesame soy sauce.
Garden and River Leisure
Aoi Hotel Kyoto features a terrace overlooking Kamogawa river and Higashiyama mountain. Guests can drink tea while viewing the river and mountains, or enjoy Japanese sake under the moon. The property is near the Philosopher's Path, which connects Ginkakuji and Nanzenji temples with serene Japanese-style gardens.
Historic Gion Location
Aoi Hotel Kyoto is in Gion, known for traditional architecture and geisha culture. It is 1 km from Maruyama Park, 1.5 km from Nishiki Market and Kyoto National Museum, 2.5 km from Nanzen-ji temple, and 4 km from Fushimi Inari Shrine. The area includes power spots like Otowa Waterfall for love success and Zuigudo Hall's womb-like tour.
Personalized Hospitality Approach
AOI provides the highest level of hospitality by offering time and space for guests to enjoy themselves, without exaggerated service or unnecessary care. The hotel includes a Hijikata Toshizo Concept Room created with the Toshizo Hijikata Museum director, featuring library spaces and historical decor for Shinsengumi fans.
“This is a luxury experience elevated by its prime location south of Pontocho and near Gion, with its themed rooms adding a layer of cultural immersion. Picture a spacious room with a balcony overlooking the Kamo River, complemented by a traditional wooden tub and thoughtful amenities like a washer-dryer. I think this could be an exceptional base for exploring Kyoto's historical heart.”
