A Kyoto dining and Accommodation experience in Kikusui, renewed through heritage and evolution This space has been reborn by preserving the value and atmosphere built over time while embracing evolution suited to the present day. Through “Refurbish”—not mere “restoration,” but a thoughtful renewal that retains what already exists, refines it, and makes it new—we have introduced fresh approaches that significantly reshape the image of Kikusui. For example, while rooted in Japanese aesthetics, the space has been redesigned so you can enjoy it without removing your shoes. We have also added a wood deck where you can do more than simply view the garden—spend time feeling at one with its greenery. Even as it changes, we have created a dining and Accommodation setting where you can savor Kyoto’s distinctive charm. Enjoy a luxurious stay as modern art and interiors blend with traditional Japanese design, revealing subtle beauty and refined character throughout.

Akekure Kyoto Shirakawa nestles beside the gentle stream of the Shirakawa River. In a tranquil interplay of light and shadow, water, greenery, and subtle soundscapes softly reflect the changing seasons. A harmonious blend of traditional scenery and nature, refined modern interiors inspired by wabi-sabi, and an elegant sense of space that celebrates “ma.” Enjoy a special stay to savor Kyoto with grace and depth—quiet luxury to remember.

Located just a 1-minute walk from Higashiyama Station on the Tozai Line and near the final stop of the Tokaido 53 Stations, this Hotel is themed around a "Hatago" (traditional inn) in a post town. From the Rooms facing the outer perimeter, you can enjoy the feeling of sitting by the window and gazing at the streets of Kyoto, while the central Rooms are designed like detached Rooms, featuring small gardens or courtyards, offering a view of adjacent small and large Rooms. Each Room is uniquely decorated with handmade furniture that exudes the warmth of wood, providing a relaxing space to unwind and rejuvenate during your journey.

A luxurious space with only 8 rooms. Enjoy the beautiful seasonal scenery of the Kamogawa River. We offer a serene private retreat where you can escape the city's hustle and experience moments of pure relaxation. From our rooftop terrace, you can take in panoramic views of Tadasu no Mori and Higashiyama's 36 peaks, as well as enjoy the "Gozan no Okuribi" fire festival in summer. With excellent access to landmarks such as Shimogamo Shrine and Kyoto Imperial Palace, it is an ideal base for sightseeing. The name "Rivert" reflects the hotel's picturesque natural surroundings, inspired by the French words for "river (rivière)" and "green (vert)."
