The hotel “THE RITZ-CARLTON KYOTO” which ranked in at 5th place last year won the first place in the hotel ranking this year and the inn, “Kyomachiya Yuraku Horikawa Gojo” won the first place in the Japanese inn ranking.

 main

 “THE RITZ-CARLTON KYOTO” which took first place in the hotel ranking is located in a fantastic spot beside the Kamo River where you can view the mountains called Higashiyama Sanjuroppo. The lobby incorporates the contrast of the brightness and darkness of a traditional townhouse and has artworks created under the concept of “Genji Monogatari (Japanese old folktale). The interior of the hotel is luxurious but has the essence of Kyoto’s traditions and culture.

 

The hotels in the upper rankings are almost the same as the rankings announced last year. The hotels which appeared in 2017’s ranking for the first time were “THE RITZ-CARLTON OSAKA,” “UNWINED HOTEL & BAR,” “The Prince Gallery Tokyo Kioicho,” and “THE BRIDGE HOTEL Shinsai Bridge.” The hotel which was opened in February in Sapporo “UNWINED HOTEL & BAR” is a unique hotel created under the concept of serving the allurement of a lodging experience.

The inn which took first place in the Japanese inn ranking was “Kyomachiya Yuraku Horikawa Gojo” which appeared on the ranking for the first time. It is a brand-new inn designed by an architect who is very knowledgeable about Kyoto’s traditional townhouses. The inn was opened in June 2016 and has been gaining much popularity. The inn does not have a hot spring bath, but the users of the inn can use the public bathhouse in front of the inn for free. Another good point of using this inn is that they offer breads/buns of “Maruki Seipanjo” which has been running its bakery since 1947. In the lobby, you can drink teas and coffees and use computers.

 

Seven out of the 20 facilities made it onto the chart for the first time. Japanese inns, other than “Kyomachiya Yuraku Horikawa Gojo,” which made it onto the chart for the first time  were “Shiman Onsen Kashiwaya Ryokan,” “Arashiyama Benkei,” “Beniya Mukau,” “Kiri no Sato Takahara,” “Konanso” and “Shibu Onsen Kokuya.”

 

In the chart, “Top20 Hotels in Japan by International Travelers 2017,” “first time” indicates that the hotel was ranked in the top 20 ranking for the first time.

  • Hoshinoya Tokyo to Offer New Year’s Kabuki Plan Inspired by Edo Period Theater Teahouse

    08.January.2023 | SPOT

    Hoshinoya Tokyo, a traditional ryokan in Otemachi, has announced the New Year’s Kabuki Plan, a two-day, one-night stay from January 5 until January 7, 2023. During the Edo Period, citizens enjoyed watching Kabuki plays during the New Year’s holidays, often sipping tea at connected teahouses. This event will invite visitors to experience what this was like, complete with traditional food and decorations.

     

    Watching Kabuki was a chic way for those in Edo to ring in the new year. Theater teahouses were also a popular gathering place–along with arranging tickets, the teahouses offered plot notes, tea, sweets, boxed lunches, snacks, and other drinks.*

    *Hiroshi Fujita, Yoshihide Tomizawa (2012) / The Updated Kabuki Dictionary, Kashiwa Shobo

     

    Relax Before Enjoying Tea and a Play

    Guests are invited to relax in the Ochanoma (Living Room) Lounge, decorated to look like a traditional teahouse with fans, ukiyo-e prints, and formal curtains. Hanabiramochi, or rice cakes with flower petals, will be served with green tea. These rice cakes are said to date back to the New Year’s tradition of eating hard foods like daikon and rice cakes in the hopes of prolonging one’s life. Characterized by its curious burdock root aroma, the cakes are sweetened with white miso bean paste. 

    Enjoy a Post-Viewing Mont Blanc Shaped like Soba with Sweet Dessert Wine

    At theater teahouses in the Edo period, sake, snacks, and desserts were served one after another. During this special event, a menu inspired by this practice and prepared by Hoshinoya Tokyo Executive Chef Noriyuki Hamada will be served! Soba noodles were often served after a play in the past. Inspired by this tradition, Mont Blanc made with chestnut paste and sponge cake will be served up to look like this popular dish. Paired with a dessert wine aged in oak barrels, the sweet will be served in a traditional lacquerware basket. In addition, the dish will be paired with Wasabi Pralines, Shichimi Meringue, and Ginger Pate de Fruits. 

    Take a Rickshaw to the Kabuki-za Theater

    Guests will be taken on an Edo-style tour on their way to the Kabuki-za Theater. Passing through the Nihonbashi area, the first stop will be the Fukutoku Shrine. It’s said that Hidetada Tokugawa paid a visit to and praised the shrine on New Year’s Day in 1614. The next shrine on the docket, Hodo Inari Jinja, was enshrined in Edo Castle during the Edo period to protect the heir to the Tokugawa family. It’s said that the shrine provides blessings for child rearing, matchmaking, and business prosperity. 

    This tour will provide a more elegant way to explore Tokyo as guests enjoy exposition from their chauffeur. To make the rickshaw ride even more enjoyable, guests can rent kimonos for an extra charge.
