Central Kyoto [Kyoto Prefecture]
As you step inside Hiiragiya, you will be enchanted by the elegance of the finest traditional Japanese style ryokan. The serenity in Hiiragiya makes you feel as if you are in another universe compared to the bustle a few blocks away. The wooden main building built in 1818 and modern new wing opened in 2006 are architecturally unified beautifully, both offering traditional flair and luxurious comfort. Guests at Hiiragiya are impressed by the impeccable attention to details of craftsmen in every part of the decor in the room, inside the garden and food. Enjoy the highest quality Kyoto Kaiseki cuisine made with the freshest seasonal ingredients.
Yasunari Kawabata, Nobel Laureate in Literature, loved to stay in Hiiragiya. "As if returning home" was the way he felt when he stayed here and that is still the same way many guests from all around the world feel today.
