Hotel Chourakukan

Tucked away in the leafy foothills of the Higashiyama mountains and just a short stroll from the historic Yasaka shrine. Step into the historic splendour of Hotel Chourakukan. This resplendent Western style residence was built in 1909 to entertain the distinguished guests of Kichibei Murai. More than 100 years later it is still charming visitors. Vintage Baccarat chandeliers and intricate stained glass windows reflect the soft light of Kyoto. Airy bedrooms offer peace and sanctuary from the cultural pulse of the city. Enjoy exquisite seasonal French cuisine and live piano recitals in the restaurant or take afternoon tea among fine china and crisp linens in the salon. Wander outside the hotel to walk the leafy pathways of Maruyama Park or dive into the twisting lanes of the Higashiyama district where the romance of historic Kyoto awaits around every corner. Hotel Chourakukan is a Small Luxury Hotels of the World property.
