Hotel The Mitsui Kyoto
Luxury Collection hotel beside Nijo-jo Castle at 284 Nijoaburanokoji-cho, opened in November 2020 on historic Mitsui family land with 160 guest rooms and stroll gardens. The Thermal Spring spa draws onsen water on site; dining includes TOKI and FORNI for nights when you want hotel restaurants within a short walk of the castle walls. Nijojo-mae Station is about a three-minute walk. Book through hotelthemitsui.com for garden-facing rooms and confirm spa access and current rates before peak foliage dates.

While you're there
Nijo puts Nijo Castle and the subway within easy reach of downtown. Use the hotel as a western-Kyoto base for Arashiyama’s Shigetsu, or taxi to Higashiyama for Park Hyatt Kyoto territory. Confirm onsen-bath booking rules for day use.
Pro Tip: Reserve the onsen or private bath at check-in, not after dinner; Nijo weekend slots go while you are still unpacking, and day-of requests are mostly apologies.
- Best for
- A Nijo base for castle access and Arashiyama day trips.
- Pair with
- Lunch at Shigetsu in Arashiyama.
- Season / timing
