How to Get to RC HOTEL Kyoto Yasaka

The RC HOTEL Kyoto Yasaka is just two minutes from the historic landmark Yasaka Pagoda at Hokanji Temple.

Among the sea of wooden structures, the hotel's gray exterior stands out. The ROCCA & FRIENDS TRUCK, a drink stand run by a popular cafe in Kyoto and Osaka, is in front of the hotel.

The sign before the hotel entrance reads, "Slate-Roofed Four-Story Reinforced Concrete Building." This description, in fact, is the RC HOTEL's official name—with RC standing for "reinforced concrete."

Feel the Hotel's Unique Aesthetic at the Check-In Counter

When you step into the concrete building, you will be greeted by an antique-looking check-in counter.

The interior color is comprised of blue, silver, and brown shades, which add to the hotel's almost surreal aesthetic. It also contrasts with the historic streets outside.

Relax in the Communal Lounge

The communal bar is off to the left of the entrance and is open to all guests. It's a great place to either relax by yourself or drink among friends.

Stylish Rooms Designed with Attention to Detail

The rooms are located on the first, second, and third floors. Additionally, the room types offered are single, twin, and double. Each has a unique concept with interior designs to match, including the plant-themed "Vegetation" and craft-themed "Folk Handicrafts."

The Vegetation interior incorporates foliage within its space, giving the room a naturalistic atmosphere. You can also find a dry tree with fruit used as decoration.

The Folk Handicraft features items used on traditional Japanese farms, such as a silkworm-rearing net and swift yarn winder. Displayed on concrete walls, these items add to the character of the room.

Works by various global artists are displayed in the Art themed room. One particular room is dedicated to works by the Japanese artist, LY. Other rooms periodically rotate through different artists.

Charming Showers and Bathrooms

Each room includes a private shower and bathroom. The shower, decorated with cute tiles, will refresh you after a long day of travel.

The faucet is larger than what you'll normally find at hotels in Japan, which makes it easy for anyone to use. This attention to detail is given to every aspect of the rooms.

A View of Yasaka Pagoda!
