Just steps from World Heritage Site, Nijo Castle, this exclusive hotel was built on the former site of the Mitsui family residence. Many of the site’s original heritage, including landscaping stones, lanterns, and gate have been preserved by the artistry of celebrated designers. The resulting space is a high-end stay that offers modern comfort to the luxury client.

The grand entrance is home to the Kajimiya entrance gate in all its grandeur, first built in 1703 and restored by a carpentry specialist. Step beneath it and onto the hotel grounds to find what was the original garden at the Mitsui estate, still maintained in a refreshed look and expansive 1,300m2 garden space created by landscape designer Shunsaku Miyagi to welcomes guests with seasonal beauty all year around.

The 22 suite rooms and 161 total guestrooms feature the masterful touch of interior designer Andre Fu. Inside you’ll find the utmost in luxury spaces, including sprawling views of the Nijo Castle from the expansive windows in the Nijo Suite rooms, or the natural waters that flow from the hot springs beneath the hotel straight to the private open-air bath in your room in an Onsen Suite.

In the hotel you’ll find restaurant and bar options, including teppanyaki at restaurant TOKI, Italian fare at restaurant FORNI, and a luxe bar and lounge experience at The Garden Bar. Both the bar and two restaurants wrap around the garden to create an unrivaled garden view that’s always in season as you enjoy your meal or drink.
