OMO5 Kyoto Gion by Hoshino Resorts: Experience Kyoto’s Timeless Beauty with the Yojiya Accommodation Plan

What is OMO5 Kyoto Gion by Hoshino Resorts?

The Gion district in Kyoto, known as the historic geisha district, has a traditional atmosphere.

It is also famous for Yasaka Shrine, whose main shrine is designated as a National Treasure, and Hanamikoji-dori, a street lined with traditional wooden townhouses (machiya) and restaurants.

OMO5 Kyoto Gion by Hoshino Resorts, a hotel managed by Hoshino Resorts, is located five minutes on foot from Gion's tourist attractions.

At this hotel in the center of Gion, you can fully enjoy the city's charms through various activities, including tours with knowledgeable guide staff known as "OMO Ranger."

Are You Familiar with This Brand Logo?

This logo, depicting a beautiful Kyoto woman reflected in a handheld mirror, belongs to Yojiya, a skincare and cosmetics brand with its main store in Gion, Kyoto.    

Founded in 1904, Yojiya is a Japanese brand that has nurtured the aesthetic sense of Kyoto for over 100 years. The company has continued to develop cosmetics in line with the times and loved by many devoted customers.

Yojiya has expanded into cafes and other food and drink businesses in recent years while maintaining the craftsmanship that requires time and effort to create.

Let’s Enjoy the Yojiya Stay Experience!

At OMO5 Kyoto Gion by Hoshino Resorts, we are selling an accommodation plan created in collaboration with Yojiya—"Yojiya Beppin Room Stay~Summer Evening Cool~"

Let's check out the features of this plan!

1. Stay in a Room Designed by Yojiya

The "Yojiya Beppin Room" is a special accommodation featuring the notable Yojiya logo that can only be experienced with this plan.

In this guest room, you can enjoy unique collaboration decorations of the hotel and Yojiya, including hand-dyed noren curtains with illustrations of fans, lanterns, and fireworks reminiscent of summer in Kyoto.

In addition to noren curtains, there are handheld lanterns made by Kojima Shoten, which has been manufacturing lanterns with the same traditional methods since the Edo Period. There's also Komaruya Sumii, which continues to make Kyomaru fans that geisha and maiko distribute to teahouses and restaurants. "Kyo Uchiwa," a traditional fan, is also installed in the room.

If you go for a walk in Gion at night, carrying items exuding craftsmanship and artisanship, you will undeniably have an elegant time.

2. Try the Yojiya’s Skincare Items

Take care of your summer skin with Yojiya's skincare items in the guest room's powder room!

We have a lineup of items for pampering your skin during the summer, such as cooling and moisturizing body gel for sweltering temperatures, face sheets that wipe away sweat and sebum while adding moisture, and UV-blocking items essential before going out.

3. Taste Collaboration Sweets Perfect for Summer

The plan includes chocolate mint desserts crafted by the pastry chef of Yojiya Cafe in Kyoto City.

Chocolate mint desserts, which are welcoming and refreshing during hot summers in Kyoto, are popular flavor concoctions. The frosty appearance of the sweets with Yojiya illustrations is another attractive feature.

Additionally, you can enjoy two types of original blended teas made to match the desserts.

Other Activities

Guests who booked this plan can participate in the "Yojiya Skin Care Course," where you'll receive a skincare lecture at the Yojiya Gion Main Store.
