Kyoto’s hospitality sector has responded to this by opening hotels all over the city, in historical places like Shinmachi, a street once known for kimono fabric wholesales. On this road steeped in Kyoto tradition, you’ll find a hotel where you can experience a Japanese tea ceremony, authentic maiko performances, and much more.

Introducing Hotel Intergate Kyoto
A Hotel Immersed in Traditional Kyoto
If you're hoping to really feel Kyoto's traditional atmosphere during your stay, there's no better place to rest your head than the Shinmachi area. Once upon a time, the streets were home to a thriving kimono fabric wholesale district. Nowadays you'll find fewer places selling beautiful silk cloth throughout the narrow alleys, but the gorgeous old buildings and Japanese architecture from that time remain.
Embrace the Kyoto Atmosphere, Even Inside Your Hotel
The hotel is full of comfortable spaces to relax in, and generally uses Western-style furnishings, but thanks to kimono fabric and wooden decoration, plus touches of natural beauty, you'll never forget what part of the world you're staying in.
All-Day Service at the Hotel Lounge
If you're not expecting much from the hotel lounge, think again. This comfortable room is where paid breakfast is served, but it's open for use throughout the day, offering a frankly impressive spread of complimentary drinks and snacks.
6:00 to 7:00 | Bright and Early Morning Coffee & Smoothies
