[Concept] Aesthetics scattered throughout the hotel - the charm of a hotel that awakens the five senses

As you step inside THE BLOSSOM KYOTO, you'll be greeted by the faint scent of incense from a long-established shop in the street garden reminiscent of a traditional Kyoto townhouse, and the tile art that covers the entire wall of the lobby quietly speaks of Gojo's history.

The communication space "Ainomachi no Kura" was created in the image of a "kura," a traditional Japanese building that has remained since ancient times. Reusing original building materials such as roofing tiles and beams, the space is designed to create a calm atmosphere reminiscent of the Edo period. This nostalgic space is perfect for reading, chatting, or even doing a little work.

With our sitting check-in service, you can relax and unwind after your trip while you check in. Once you've completed the check-in process, enjoy a welcome drink of your choice from two options.

Welcome drink served from 15:00 to 18:00

A special cup of coffee in Kyoto- Enjoy "blend kyoto" in your room

Kyoto is also known as a city with a rich coffee culture.
The popular coffee blend specialty store "blend kyoto" has created an original blend especially for THE BLOSSOM KYOTO, which can be enjoyed exclusively in the "Deluxe Twin," "Deluxe Force Nagomi," and "Premium Twin" rooms. This special cup of coffee is prepared to match the hotel's seasonal atmosphere, and is available only here.
To ensure you can fully enjoy the moment of brewing, we have prepared professional equipment such as a hand grinder, coffee dripper, and a digital scale that can accurately measure the amount of brewed coffee. Furthermore, we have provided cups and saucers from the famous Kiyomizu-yaki pottery "Soryugama." Relax and enjoy your time in Kyoto with a fragrant cup of coffee.

Pottery that embodies the blue of Kyoto- the one and only porcelain surface created by Soryu Kiln

The cups and saucers you will enjoy with "blend kyoto" are works by Soryugama, a renowned Kyoto kiln. This kiln was founded by Wakunami Soryu, the fourth generation master of Kyo-yaki celadon, and his wife Madoka, the third daughter of Marudai Kiln, a renowned kiln for Koishiwara ware in Fukuoka. The couple, who grew up in places with different traditions, met at a ceramics school in Kyoto and, upon their marriage, combined their skills and sensibilities to create a new world of celadon.
Soryu Kiln's signature "Seiji Tobikanna Series" is created by kneading pigment into the celadon clay and then applying a glaze to create a deep blue color. By applying the traditional Koishiwara ware technique of "Tobikanna," the glaze flows into the carved grooves, creating a regular pattern. The resulting work has a deep blue that evokes the image of the sky after the rain has stopped, and exudes elegance and warmth. Be sure to enjoy a special cup of coffee in this vessel.

The art of thread spun in the millennium capital: the world of "Kyoto embroidery"

There are several artworks on display in the guest lounge, and we would like to introduce one of them.

"Kyoto embroidery," a traditional craft of which Kyoto is proud, is an elegant and delicate embroidery technique that dates back to the Heian period. It began when the "Nuibe no Tsukasa," who made costumes for the Imperial Court, was transferred to Heian-kyo, and for over a thousand years since then, it has continued to convey the aesthetic sense of imperial culture to the present day. Its uses are wide-ranging, and it is used not only to decorate kimonos and obi, but also for accessories, stage curtains, drop curtains, and more, and is a vital part of Kyoto's daily life and performing arts.
Founded in 1933, Nagakusa Nui Kobo is a prestigious workshop that continues this tradition. Following in the footsteps of the founder, Nagakusa Yoshinosuke, the current second-generation owner, Nagakusa Toshiaki, and his wife, Sumie, continue to preserve the techniques and spirit of Kyoto embroidery. In addition to producing kimonos, obi, accessories, interior decorations, and stage costumes, the workshop also repairs and creates new decorations for festivals such as the Gion Festival, truly serving as a "needle connecting the beauty of Kyoto."
The pieces created for THE BLOSSOM KYOTO delicately depict the beauty of young girls and the seasonal scenery of Kyoto . Plum blossoms, cherry blossoms, wisteria, autumn leaves - along with the image of a princess from the imperial era, the changing of the seasons comes to life in the embroidery, creating a coexistence of splendor and warmth.
If you look closely, you will be overwhelmed by the thickness and three-dimensionality created by the accumulation of each stitch. The light and shadow created by the threads, which took an incredible amount of time, are sure to please enjoy the intricacy and elegance up close.
