Richmond Hotel Premier Kyoto&shijo / Takenaka Corporation

Borderless view of Kyoto, A Microcosm of Our Time - Facing Shijo Street, where the Gion Festival, one of the three major festivals in Japan, we created a hotel that is set in the pleasant nature of Kyoto while maintaining a distance from the hustle and bustle of the city. The guestrooms are connected from Shijo Street by an exterior wall line with a glass facade of Japanese folding screen that extends into the city, allowing guests to enjoy the view of the Kyoto cityscape from inside. In a guest room with one of the highest ceilings in Kyoto, guests can enjoy a floating experience in the city.
