A city of peaceful Shinto shrines and Zen temples, many visitors to Kyoto are looking for a tranquil retreat during their time in the city, which is why we have to recommend Oriental Hotel Kyoto Rokujo. Between the interiors that reflect the calm ambience of a Japanese tea house garden, the actual natural spaces right in the hotel lobby, and the hotel’s genuine efforts to produce ideal Zen meditation spaces right in the rooms, it’s a great place to spend a relaxing Kyoto excursion.
Oriental Hotel Kyoto Rokujo’s Japanese Omotenashi-Style Hospitality
Japan is proud of its hospitality culture, called “omotenashi” (おもてなし), and the spirit of offering excellent service to guests and visitors. This is clear from the moment you step into the brand new lobby of Oriental Hotel Kyoto Rokujo, which opened in just November 2019.
From the many natural spaces to the wooden and stone interiors, every time you enter the hotel, it really does feel a little like you’re heading through the garden towards a little teahouse. It’s a little otherworldly in the very best way – you feel a world away from the stress of the outside world!
Japanese-Style Rooms or Western-Style, the Choice Is Yours
While all of the rooms in Oriental Hotel Kyoto Rokujo have a bit of Kyoto flair, when it comes to beds sometimes it’s fun to experiment with slightly Japanese-style set-ups, and sometimes you just want a standard mattress and box spring. So both options are available!
Echoing the Kyoto Surroundings Through Offerings in the Breakfast Area/Lounge
Not only does the hotel feel like a true Kyoto experience, it tastes like one too! Every morning, the breakfast at Oriental Hotel Kyoto Rokujo focuses on Japanese cuisine done right, highlighting the gentle flavors of Kyoto with a variety of dishes.
Just for Guests: the Club Lounge
After breakfast is finished, of course, guests are still welcome to use the hotel's comfortable seating spread all around the first floor.
Grab a Drink with Friends, without Leaving the Hotel!
Experience Kyoto to the Fullest at Oriental Hotel Kyoto Rokujo
While you can certainly purchase as much matcha as you can drink at the hotel's lounge & bar every evening, we recommend you take advantage of the lovely hospitality available, and try rich tea on your first afternoon at the hotel. Each guest can watch the hotel's expert matcha makers whisk up frothy bowls of the green tea, before drinking it with a small bowl of accompanying konpeitou (colorful little Japanese candies).
Take a Little of Kyoto Home with You
While You’re in the Area
Everywhere you look in Kyoto, there are hundreds of years of tradition, and beautiful examples of cultural history – so take advantage of the hotel's proximity, and check out the neighborhood! For bigger sights, Kyoto's Nishi Honganji and Higashi Honganji Temples are within easy walking distance, and their huge traditional buildings will wow traditional Japanese architecture lovers. Take a little walk, and you'll find yourself at the Kyoto Aquarium, and the Kyoto Railway Museum. For more small scale adventures, however, we recommend…

A Taste of Sweet Nostalgia at Tachibanaya Traditional Sweet Shop
There's nothing better than immersing yourself in the local culture during travel, and the calming Zen-style meditation and tea garden atmosphere of Oriental Hotel Kyoto Rokujo makes the experience all the more enjoyable. When you're looking for a little Kyoto retreat – a place for restful evenings after busy days of seeing the city's sights – we think this might be the place for you!
