The Junei Hotel Kyoto Imperial Palace West / Kyoto Kawaramachi・Karasumaru・Omiya 67

Overview

Kyoto Gyoen is where the imperial family was based during the Heian to Meiji eras.
The Junei Hotel is located immediately west of Kyoto Gyoen.

There are only 8 guest rooms at the hotel, with each room measuring 50 square meters.
The interior exhibits an upscale Japanese design sensibility and each room is adorned with various artwork showcasing Kyoto craftsmanship, a Serta bed, and a Kyoto-made bed throw. The top notch amenities are sure to provide a luxurious experience for our guests.

All rooms are equipped with bath tubs made from the renowned Shigarayaki ceramic.
The ceramic has an exceptional touch and is a one-off, custom-made piece. To top it off, the baths are filled with concentrated hydrogen water, which is said to have benefits for the skin. We recommend guests to take a long, relaxing bath in the curated space.

Various other details to comfort our guests are dispersed throughout the hotel:
aromas, healing music, and fresh tatami which emanates a unique green fragrance.
Various provisions showcasing Kyoto cuisine will invigorate your senses. Uji tea, Japanese sweets from venerable establishments, and a catered Kyoto-style breakfast are served to our guests.

If you're looking to fully immerse yourself, we recommend participating in activities unique to Kyoto, such as wearing kimono and creating paper crafts. A special plan to invite maiko is also available. This is a rare opportunity, since traditional tea houses typically forbid first-time customers.

The wonderful experience begins as soon as guests arrive at the hotel. We welcome visitors to stay at our hotel where you can experience Kyoto through the five senses.

The bath was big and nice, but I was disappointed that my hair was floating when I stored the hot water. It was a shame that there was no hot water though the spout was on the top. I did not understand the hydrogen bath effect well. As price is moderate, we think that cospa is bad. The staff was very kind and helped me with my lost items quickly. Thank you very much.

Read more お部屋は清潔で使いやすく寛げました。特に畳のスペースが良かったと思います。お風呂も、坪庭が見えるようになっていて外光が感じられたり、陶器の浴槽の周りに石が敷き詰めてあったりと、雰囲気はとても良かったのですが… おすすめの「水素風呂」のスイッチを入れるとお湯が循環するらしく、だんだん湯温が下がってきました。人がお湯に入るだけでも湯温は下がりますので、追い焚きしようとすると、スイッチが外にあり…寒い〜！と思いながらドアを開けて追い焚きのスイッチを入れました。追い焚きが中からできれば…と思いました。

The room was clean and easy to use. I think the tatami space was particularly good. The atmosphere of the bath was very good, with the view of the patio garden and the feeling of outside light, and stones all around the pottery tub ... When you switch on the recommended “hydrogen bath”, the hot water seems to circulate, and the hot water temperature has gradually decreased. Even if a person enters the hot water, the hot water temperature falls, so when you try to chase it, there is a switch outside ... cold! I opened the door and turned on the switch. I thought if I could catch up from inside.

The other day I stayed with my father-in-law and our family. I was satisfied with everything. I have never stayed in such a room! Seeing my father-in-law talking happily, I thought it was really good. The staff were kind and breakfast was also delicious. The moment I entered the hotel I smelled good and healed! I would like to stay overnight if there is a chance! Thank you very much.
