A boutique hotel quietly situated by the Kamo River flowing through the heart of Kyoto.
Genji Kyoto is a boutique Hotel quietly situated along the Kamo River, which flows through the heart of Kyoto. With excellent access to historical landmarks, every Room is equipped with a tatami relaxation space and spacious beds for your comfort. The name "Genji Kyoto" is derived from the Rokujoin, featured in "The Tale of Genji," and the Kawarain, the villa of Minamoto no Toru, said to be its model. Enjoy an all-day dining experience in the lobby with a courtyard inspired by "The Tale of Genji." The rooftop offers a relaxing space with views of Higashiyama, where you can enjoy drinks, meals, and conversations in a serene Kyoto retreat.

Introduction of the Accommodation





Located within a 20-minute walking distance from Gion, Pontocho, Shijo Street, Nishiki Market, and Kyoto Station. After exploring Kyoto, enjoy your stay in the tranquil neighborhood nestled between the Kamo and Takase Rivers.

Spacious guest room with a view.
The elegant guest rooms feature handcrafted furniture, luxury beds, Japanese paper lighting, the latest air conditioning systems, floor heating, and meticulously designed bathrooms. All Rooms are equipped with Japanese tatami mats for relaxation. From every Room, you can enjoy views of the Kamo River, the city, or small gardens through windows or balconies designed to provide a refined experience. Rooms with balconies facing the Kamo River offer views of Higashiyama throughout the seasons.

This is an allegorical interpretation of the "Ukifune" chapter in "The Tale of Genji." The boat appearing in "Ukifune" symbolizes the impermanence of life, and in the garden, it is represented by a moss-covered boat-shaped stone.

We offer an ideal space to enjoy the view of Higashiyama across the Kamo River, the three-story pagoda of Kiyomizu Temple shining in the sunset, with a glass in hand, engaging in conversation, or relaxing alone.
