MUJI to Open 'MUJI BASE KYOTO kiyomizu' Hotel Near Kiyomizu-dera Temple, Featuring Exclusive Local Experiences for Guests

MUJI BASE KYOTO kiyomizu opens on May 20.

Ryohin Keikaku, the operator of the MUJI brand, will open MUJI BASE KYOTO kiyomizu (4-171 Kiyomizu, Higashiyama-ku, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture) on May 20.

The new hotel is a renovation of the former Amenity Hotel Kyoto. While preserving the original exterior, which has long been a part of the neighborhood's scenery, the 18 guest rooms are furnished primarily with MUJI's signature furniture and decor. The interiors also incorporate artworks by local Kyoto artists and craftsmen.

The hotel offers four room types: Double Rooms (approx. 18.1–18.8 m2) with a queen bed; Twin Rooms (approx. 25.6 m2) that can accommodate up to three guests with a bunk bed and a daybed; Twin Rooms with Bathtub (approx. 29.8–30.9 m2); and Family Rooms (approx. 53 m2) designed for groups, featuring four double beds. Rates start from 20,600 yen per room per night. For breakfast, guests can enjoy a special menu exclusive to hotel guests at Ogawa Coffee Kiyomizu on the first floor (advance reservation required).

Taking advantage of its prime location just a few minutes' walk from Kiyomizu-dera Temple, the hotel offers unique activities for its guests. These include the "Early Morning Walk to Kiyomizu," a guided stroll to the temple (daily from 5:40 AM to 7:00 AM, for guests only, additional fee applies). Furthermore, each guest room is equipped with a "Neighborhood Discovery Map," which introduces nine local experiences for discovering the beauty of everyday life in Kyoto. This initiative underscores the hotel's focus on providing authentic local experiences.
