MK Guide Recommends
Built in 1909 as a cigar magnate’s private guesthouse, Chourakukan is a rare example of Western-style architecture nestled within Kyoto’s Maruyama Park. The hotel’s heritage rooms feature marble fireplaces, stained glass, high ceilings, and vintage chandeliers—preserved details that evoke the Meiji aristocracy. With only a handful of suites, the experience is tailored and intimate, enhanced by tea salons, antique furnishings, and garden views framed by sakura trees. Guests enjoy French-Japanese fusion dining, curated afternoon tea, and access to cultural events in nearby temples and Gion. Chourakukan is not only a hotel but a historical residence reimagined for modern-day nobility.
