MUNI KYOTO

This is what it means to reward yourself! I experienced a one-of-a-kind Arashiyama stay at [MUNI KYOTO]

Arashiyama has continued to be a scenic spot for more than 1,000 years since the Heian period, when it prospered as a resort area for the aristocrats. Before the coronavirus pandemic, it was a tourist spot that was difficult to get close to, but recently there has been an increase in the number of tourists from nearby areas who are enjoying microtourism.
I want to relax my mind and body while listening to the sound of the river! We visited MUNI KYOTO, a luxury hotel that seems to gently embrace modern people.

1.The beginning of my dream stay at [MUNI KYOTO]

It's a 4-minute walk from Randen Arashiyama Station, and you'll be there in no time.

I made a reservation at [MUNI KYOTO] after hearing that it has a reputation for offering scenery and delicious food that can only be found here in the world. From the moment you step into the hotel's white-based space, you can't help but feel excited by the luxurious atmosphere that combines Western and Eastern aesthetics. There is also a smart style where check-in is done in each guest's room.

The guest rooms have the comfort of being in nature and the elegance of an ink painting, and the interior has been designed to maximize the view from the windows. The autumn leaves are nice, but the quietness of winter with its apocalyptic sabi feel is also nice.
