Four major halls and a variety of venues
From the only use of the banquet hall to reserving
the entire building
The main building features a theater-style main hall, seven medium-sized halls, a large banquet hall and a small banquet hall, and six small meeting rooms, all of which are compactly located on the first and second floors, reducing the frequency
of moving between floors.In addition, there are 10 small rooms suitable for administrative offices, VIP rooms, and waiting rooms on the first floor, and 40 rooms on the fifth and sixth floors, offering an abundant variety not found anywhere else.
Annex Hall is a highly private hall with its own private entrance, yet it is conveniently located adjacent to the main building. It can accommodate a wide range of events from mid-size meetings to receptions. It can be divided by movable partitions to create two independent venues. It also features a spacious lobby facing the garden.
The parallel Event Hall and New Hall can hold exhibitions, seminars, award ceremonies, and large banquets at the same time. Event Hall and New Hall are
the closest halls to the subway station and are connected to the main building by
an indoor passageway.
Specious lobbies and gardens for your conference
A social space that combines comfort and functionality, where you can concentrate on your meeting, away from the hustle and bustle of daily life
The main building, which has remained unchanged since its opening, offers a spacious lounge and sofas throughout to make your stay comfortable even over a long period of time. The open and versatile lobby has space for exhibitions and catering.
Informal communication over coffee between meetings. It is a rich exchange of ideas and one of the most important elements of any successful meeting.
The Japanese garden is a seasonal garden, with cherry blossoms in spring, fresh greenery in early summer, and fall-colored leaves in autumn, and is arranged in such a way that it blends in with the surrounding nature setting. At the center of the garden, Sachigaike Pond is spanned by eight bridges, like a corridor, providing a peaceful rest spot for visitors to enjoy a stroll in between meetings.
Furniture with special attention to detail
Each piece is an original
Simple and modern pieces of furniture
“Separate but together” The so-called "hexagon chairs" in the main lobby, which can be freely combined
Round tables and soft, upholstered, curved chairs in the open-air café lounge facing the garden
“Deluxe conference chairs” with armrests, which are generously designed to prevent fatigue even after sitting for long periods of time
Heavy ebony “deluxe conference tables” in horseshoe or oval formations
The carpet in the main building, available in four colors ranging from moss green to white, evokes the four seasons in Japan.
The entire building, including the exhibition halls, is carpeted so that feet do not tire and shoe noise is not a problem.
The furniture, which combines comfort and design, gives visitors to the hall a sense of luxury.
After sunset, the garden becomes a special setting for socializing
The garden can also be used in conjunction with the banquet hall and lobby lounge to host garden parties for up to 2,000 people
At the end of the day's program, a moment of conversation over a glass of wine is an important part of the conference. The Japanese Garden is also used in conjunction with the banquet hall, lobby, and lounge, and can accommodate garden parties for up to 2,000 people.
Traditional entertainment to liven up the reception, such as Kyomai—traditional Kyoto dance and taiko drumming—Kagamibiraki with Kyoto's local sake, and food stalls are also available.
The performances overflowing with Japanese sentiment that unfold on the water stage attract guests from all over the world for a special experience that can only be had here.
Hospitality through original menus
From dinner courses to lunch buffets,
we accommodate diverse types of dining
Our catering service is committed to food safety and quality, and we offer a wide variety of plans, from full course meals to buffet meals and boxed lunches, using Kyoto's unique and seasonal ingredients.
A wide range of dietary requests can be handled to ensure that everyone can enjoy their meals, including special meals and food labelling for guests with dietary restrictions due to religious practices, eating habits, or food allergies, etc.
Hospitality of architectural beauty
Architecture and art that touches the beauty and spirit of Japan
A masterpiece of “modernist architecture,” the building's unique design combines trapezoids and inverted trapezoids,
inspired by ancient traditional Japanese styles, to achieve harmony between the building and the surrounding mountains and nature.
Based on architect Sachio Otani's concept of “people gathering in nature to talk to one another,” the building is designed so that visitors can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Japanese Garden with a borrowed view of Takaragaike Pond and the majestic Hiei mountain range from all parts of the building.
Much of the furniture was designed by Isamu Kenmochi, a pioneer of modern interior design.
The beautiful masterpieces created by talented designers and the craftsmanship of traditional industries are being carefully passed on to the future through actual use in the conference halls.
An art tour is also recommended, where visitors can view valuable works from that period by some of Japan's leading artists of the modern era, including lighting design by Motoko Ishii and artwork by Toko Shinoda.
A tea ceremony room that touches the essence of Japanese culture
For entertaining special guests or for a moment of peace
and quiet between meetings
Located on the banks of Takaragaike in the Japanese Garden, Hosho-an, a tea ceremony room in a hinoki bark-roofed sukiya-style building, provides the opportunity to encounter authentic Japanese culture and fully enjoy the spirit of tea through a full-scale tea ceremony.
In addition to the hall, the tea room is also equipped with tables and chairs, making it comfortable for participants from overseas.
In addition to tea ceremonies, we can also provide experience programs and demonstrations of traditional industries in Kyoto, the birthplace of many traditional Japanese cultures, such as calligraphy, ikebana (flower arrangement), and kimono dressing experiences.
