The Kyoto Hotel Okura has been awarded four red pavilions (the highest possible grade) by the Michelin Guide Kyoto & Osaka 2010, ranking it among the top of the 13 Kyoto hotels included in the guide.

In addition, the Awata Sanso villa restaurant in Awataguchi, Higashiyama, which serves Kyoto cuisine, was selected to receive one star. It was also awarded four red spoons and forks (the highest possible grade−in the Michelin guides, red signifies “more comfortable”for the same number of marks). This rating denotes an exceptionally comfortable establishment in terms of factors such as service and furnishings. It is the third highest ranking received by any Kyoto establishment.

This honor is entirely thanks to the unstinting encouragement of our patrons ever since the hotel’s establishment in 1888, as well as the cooperation of the numerous businesses that have continued to support us, for which we would like to express our heartfelt gratitude.

We will continue to welcome guests from Japan and around the world, while pressing confidently ahead as a hotel that is universally held in high esteem.

As both the hotel with the longest history in the ancient capital of Kyoto and an establishment where guests can encounter the life of the contemporary city, the Kyoto Hotel Okura offer the ultimate in relaxation and comfort.
