Motonago hospitality
With Kyoto flavor a homy feeling.
Motonago nestles in a quiet, nostalgic scene, completely apart from the hustle and bustle of the city. Once you step outside, you can sense the overflowing taste of Kyoto - Japan's old capital. Walking towards the South, for example, the “Nene-no-Michi” stone path leads to Kiyomizu-dera Temple - a World Heritage Site. Moving through Kodaiji Temple, Entoku-in Temple, Ninenzaka slope and Sannenzaka slope, you will see the world of Kyoto after 20 minutes' journey. This is just an example, however. To the North, there is Maruyama Park and Chion-in Temple. To the West, Gion - famous for being the town of Maiko and Geiko - and dining locations. All the charm of Kyoto is gathered here, where Motonago stands.
On entering through a door with a tiled roof while seeing a tasteful earthen wall made using traditional techniques, Motonago welcomes you with a warm hospitality that only a humble inn like ours, with its 11 rooms, can offer. Guests can relax while enjoying dinner and breakfast in their rooms, and our staff wear traditional kimonos as they serve the meals. Kyoto style cuisine made with special seasonal ingredients succeeds in bringing the Kyoto taste, with our chefs' sophisticated skills and selected menu, to our guests. We promise you will have a comfortable time on your journey, in a peaceful and harmonizing room full of poetic sentiment and the scent of woods, complemented the sense of tatami mats, overlooking a garden of refined elegance.
