Chourakukan was built in 1909 by pioneering industrialist Kichibei Murai.
Its
location on the lower slopes of the Higashiyama mountains offers spectacular natural scenery
and serene surroundings while still being conveniently located in the city.
The
hotel overlooks the famous Maruyama Park. Its nine hectares are like having your own
private garden to take an early morning stroll or admire the cherry blossoms at your
leisure.
Chourakukan is ideally situated for exploring the historical and cultural sites of the
Higashiyama and Gion district.
The beautiful Kodai-ji and Chion-in Temples are
minutes away. It’s also just a short walk to Yasaka Pagoda and the stone slopes leading
up to the world-famous Kiyomizu-dera Temple. For unforgettable entertainment and gourmet
experiences, the fine-dining establishments and geisha houses of Gion are a heartbeat
away.
The Higashiyama district’s blend of old-town charm and natural beauty captivates with scenes
you’ll carry with you forever.
Leave the map behind and venture where the day takes
you, deep into the heart of the ancient capital.
