Stay in a space full of moonlight, embraced by bamboo “THE JUNEI HOTEL Kyoto”

2020.01.18

Your stay at THE JUNEI HOTEL Kyoto is surrounded by bamboo, which symbolizes the relationship between people, and the moon, which shines gently over the gentle mountain ranges of Higashiyama, Kyoto. “THE JUNEI HOTEL Kyoto” Open in March 2020.

The bamboo that stretches to the heavens harbors vitality and provides a space of tenderness and peace by whispering and shaking. This bamboo landscape hotel has interiors and guest rooms using traditional bamboo crafts with excellent design, and the beauty of bamboo is distributed throughout the hotel.

A moon that shines quietly in response to the sunshine, rather than emitting light by itself. People are attracted to the moon because people feel shining because of their loved ones. We welcome customers like that shine. We want to be the moonlight that proposes each request and the once-in-a-lifetime experience, and we hope that it will be an unforgettable shine that will remain in our customers’ memories and connect the edge.

In the halls and guest rooms, we have installed “Yume Kuro Dye *”, which is said to be the dye of the sun shining in the light. By expressing the “moon that shines only with the light it receives”, we have a desire to make our customers shine like the sun. The mysterious comfort that the soft cloth fluctuates and fluctuates and changes color brings comfort.
We set up artworks of “Yume Kuro-Dome” that changes color like flickering light and scented cypress baths, and we are preparing to enjoy using various bamboo traditional handicraft accessories. In addition, we have amenity that takes advantage of the moisture retention of the finest natural material silk.

“THE JUNEI HOTEL KYOTO” offers not only a stay but also a moving experience of “+ α”.
A rooftop garden with a special space for enjoying the moon. From the space surrounded by bamboo, you can watch the moon floating on Higashiyama and spend a special time in the moonlight.
