ANCIENT CITY CHARMS

The opening of Oakwood Hotel Oike Kyoto marks Oakwood’s debut in the former Japanese capital, offering 120 thoughtfully designed rooms and studio apartments to anyone planning to travel to the charming city. If you like walking tours (and we strongly recommend these), the new hotel is strategically located close to several of Kyoto’s most popular tourist attractions. At a two-minute walk from the Kyoto Shiakusho-Mae station on the Municipal Subway Tozai line, it offers time-saving convenience for getting around.

Its exceptional address is perfect both for leisure and business travellers on a search for authentic local experiences, cultural immersion and exploration of Kyoto’s architectural marvels. Prominent landmarks in the vicinity include the Nijo Castle, Kyoto Imperial Palace and Sento Imperial Palace. And it’s only a short stroll to great restaurants along the Kamo River. Ancient charm aside, modern-day Kyoto is an information technology hub and the home base of industry leaders such as Nintendo.
