Grand Prince Hotel Kyoto
Northern Kyoto’s Takaraike area enjoys the scenery of the gently sloping Mt. Hieizan, the northmost of the 36 mountains of the Higashiyama mountain range.
For over a thousand years, this location has been known as a health resort to the people of Kyoto, with a stunning natural environment and pristine waters.
Blending in with this beautiful locale is Grand Prince Hotel Kyoto, a refuge from the hustle and bustle of the world.
Every detail has been made to be pleasant and enjoyable, from the graceful, sweeping lines of the exquisite design by the late Japanese master architect Togo Murano, to the refined hospitality we offer.
