Rooms with Kyoto Character

Aoi Hotel Kyoto offers twin and quadruple rooms with river views. Rooms include a washing machine, dryer, CD player, and electric kettle. Some rooms feature a terrace overlooking the Kamogawa river. One twin room cannot accommodate children under 10 due to fragile decor. The property includes the Hijikata Toshizo Concept Room for Shinsengumi fans, created with the Toshizo Hijikata Museum.

Traditional Kyoto Dining

The hotel features Ishigamatei restaurant, which serves seasonal Kyoto vegetables and ingredients like bamboo shoots in spring and Kamo eggplant in summer. A 160-year-old Kyoto-style chakaiseki restaurant is on site. Guests can enjoy an all-you-can-eat ochazuke buffet with various pickled vegetables. The property sells Uji matcha tea called 'Senju' and Uji Gyokuro tea, along with sweets from Tsubakido.

Garden Views & Tea

Guests can spend time on the terrace overlooking the Kamogawa river and Higashiyama mountain. The hotel offers five types of Suzunari dango: Kyoto-style white miso, sweet soy glaze with roasted soybean flour, black sesame soy sauce, grilled with soy sauce and nori, and coarse sweet red bean paste.
