Countless Reasons TO SETTLE IN

|February 2026
Just as one can never tire of the ancient cultural city's sights and charms, I would stay at THE THOUSAND KYOTO again in a heartbeat for its marvellous location, purposeful design and gastronomic delights
Oftentimes, when it comes to overseas lodging, one has to either veer towards the convenience of being centrally located or prioritise aesthetics. Fortunately, I did not have to face this dilemma when making a short two-day stop in Kyoto ― THE THOUSAND KYOTO easily ticks both boxes. In fact, the property is situated right next to Kyoto Station, which is the major railway stop and transportation hub of the city. After disembarking from the Nozomi Shinkansen, which brought me from Tokyo, it took me a mere five minutes to walk to the hotel from the train platform. In terms of the quiet grandeur, arty ambience and tranquil visuals that one might expect from a hotel in the ancient cultural city of Kyoto, THE THOUSAND KYOTO certainly delivers too.
