You can stay overnight in Kyoto's oldest concrete elementary school building.

THE GATE HOTEL Kyoto Takasegawa by HULIC is a hotel that has been renovated from the old school building of Rissei Elementary School. The hotel is conveniently located, just a short walk from Kyoto Kawaramachi Station on the Hankyu Kyoto Line along the Takasegawa River. In addition to the hotel, there are also restaurants, cafes, and other shops where you can enjoy a leisurely stroll on the premises. The hotel's front desk is on the top floor, the 8th floor. From the front desk space, you can enjoy a view of the eastern part of Kyoto. There is a lounge for guests only on the 3rd floor, where you can enjoy hourly services (alcohol is also served), and at night, a fire is lit and you can enjoy roasting marshmallows. (Please note that the opening hours may change due to the effects of COVID-19, so please check the website for the hours and contents.) Traces of the historic elementary school remain in many places, and guests can take their time to tour the facilities, so we recommend that you enjoy a stroll. My personal impression is that it gives off a strong "hotel" vibe at night and an "elementary school" vibe during the day. The rooms are spacious and the bathrooms are spacious. They have Nespresso coffee and a large smart TV. If you get tired from walking around Kyoto, you can relax in your room with a drink or coffee in the guest lounge. This is a hotel where you can enjoy a luxurious trip to Kyoto😊 #kyoto #kyoto #hotel #kyototrip #trip #travel #kyotohotel #trip #kyototourism
