THE BLOSSOM KYOTO opened in August 2022 and is centrally located 1.5 km from JR Kyoto Station and a two-minute walk from Gojo subway station. Its a charm and aesthetic is quintessentially Kyoto, inviting guests to feel at home through exceptional hospitality and fine cuisine.
The hotel exterior blends seamlessly into the streets of Japan’s ancient capital and was inspired by the traditional Kyoto “machiya,” or wooden townhouse. After entering through a traditional passage garden, guests are welcomed by soft, soothing music and the pleasant scent of incense created by a local incense store. The lobby lounge features roof beams and other repurposed building materials from the warehouse that previously stood here, while tiles from the warehouse are embedded in the walls to striking effect. The decor also includes traditional Kyoto art such as kyo-nui (detailed and elegantly embroidered pictures,) toban (Kyoto-style ceramic plates decorated with celadon glaze,) and kirikane (art featuring decorative strips of pure gold and platinum leaf.)
The 180 guestrooms include doubles, twins, triples, and quadruples, enabling the hotel to accommodate a variety of groups and families. The decor features charming Japanese elements, such as tatami, paper screens, and latticework, while bedding from the Simmons Bedding company ensures a comfortable night’s sleep. The hotel also has a large shared bath facing the courtyard garden, a 24-hour fitness room, and a guest lounge with complimentary snacks and soft drinks. There is even a coin-operated laundry for longer stays.
The hotel restaurant KYOTO GOJO ONO serves meals until 10 p.m., and the bar is open until 11 p.m. A buffet-style breakfast features dishes of meat or fish, salad, and numerous side dishes, while boxed breakfasts can be delivered to guests’ rooms. A light meal service is also available for guests with accommodation plans that include breakfast or lunch. For lunch and dinner, guests can enjoy set-course meals or dine à la carte. The restaurant has its headquarters in Kyushu and serves Nouvelle cuisine that blends ingredients from both Kyushu and Kyoto. It is also open to the general public.
The mission of THE BLOSSOM KYOTO is to help guests enjoy a comfortable stay in Kyoto. The company that owns the hotel, JR KYUSHU HOTELS & RESORTS Inc., has also opened THE BLOSSOM brand hotels outside in Tokyo, Fukuoka, and Kumamoto Prefectures, so the special experience of staying at THE BLOSSOM is available across Japan.
