About Garrya Nijo Castle Kyoto Hotel
A 25-room luxury Garrya Nijo Castle Kyoto Hotel facing Kyoto’s Nijo-Jo Castle. Inside the “flying geese formation” shaped plan (similar to Nijo-Jo Castle and Katsura Imperial Villa), a flow line extends from an alley-like approach to an open lobby facing the garden and onto the guest suites, seducing guests into a hidden refuge with an exceptional vibe.

The rich foliage is planned to be reflected in the garden’s water feature and in the interiors of the lobby and guest rooms, similar to Nijo-Jo Castle’s “sanshi-suimei*” backdrop, to create subtle and profound settings where the inner and external meet.
