The Miyako

With breathtaking views of the city and surrounding hillside, The Miyako has been the hotel of choice in Kyoto for visiting dignitaries from around the world since the turn of the century. Just minutes from the downtown area, The Miyako graces the gentle slopes of the legendary Eastern Mountains, lined with temples, pagodas and exquisite Zen gardens, all within walking distance. The hotel offers the best of both worlds - deluxe Western rooms and traditional Japanese accommodations, the latter in an elegant adjoining inn and garden. Known for impeccable personal service and hospitality, The Miyako strives to maintain its long reputation as one of the finest hotels in Japan.
