A 10-minute walk from Kyoto Station, Shitamachi Higashi Kujo. This is a land that has a history of not being exposed to the sun, as it may be located on the opposite side of the tourist area. In such a place, we dared to produce a glamorous hotel that is different from the existing "Kyoto-ness". The new concept renewed in 2019 is "Oasis of the End of the Trip". If this place is the "most end" of Kyoto, you can create an oasis there. With that in mind, a hotel that follows the taste of the West Coast of the United States has been completed. All rooms are equipped with record players. Bring your own records from the front desk and enjoy yourself in your room. If you don't know what kind of music to listen to, our staff who love music will recommend it, so please feel free to ask at the front desk. In addition, at the front desk, there is an ice cream parlor "PARLOR SHE, SIDE" that offers special ice cream of "BIG BABY ICE CREAM" run by the Yoshida brothers at Retro Hill in Kanagawa Prefecture, and a kiosk that sells essentials for travel. We have prepared content suitable for "Oasis".
Continuing the journey to the local area This is Kyoto Sanjo, which was once depicted as the starting/ending point of the Fifty-Three Stations of the Tokaido. It is a place where people and things from all over the country gathered and created new culture. We will develop various content with local players from all over Japan based on this context. We hope that our activities will bring new excitement to the city of Kyoto and provide an opportunity for visitors to travel to attractive local areas of Japan. <About the existing building> This building is the former Nippon Life Kyoto Sanjo Building, which is partially a registered tangible cultural property. The cultural property part of the building, which began construction in 1912 and was completed in 1914, was designed by the Tatsuno & Kataoka Architectural Office led by Tatsuno Kingo, known for Tokyo Station, and their style is well reflected in the stone-clad exterior. Currently, all that remains is one span of the company building facing Yanagi-no-Maba-dori, which was demolished in 1983 leaving only that part, and the office building was expanded.
