The famous inn in Kyoto “Shikijuraku” will open on December 21

2022.12.09

“Rinn Shikijuraku” is inherited from the history of about 100 years of construction and the thoughts of those involved so far.
As an accommodation facility that combines the history of the Kyomachiya and the comfort of the hotel, we will rebranded and open on Wednesday, December 21, 2022.

The Rinn Shikijuraku, consisting of 10 townhouses, is a hotel, but each is an independent Kyomachiya, and all rooms have different rooms based on the concept of “the pleasure of ten rooms”.

The red-dyed salon, which is the symbol of Rinn Shikijuraku, has a new library.
In addition, from breakfast time to bar time, various drinks and food are prepared according to the time, and guests can freely enjoy them free of charge.
We will also develop a mechanism that allows guests to spend an extraordinary time slowly while looking at the garden, and to deepen exchanges with other guests.
