【A True Hidden Retreat in Kyoto|Stay in Ishibei-koji】
“What is this little lane?”
Passersby often pause and peer into Ishibei-koji, a stone-paved alley that quietly preserves the timeless atmosphere of Kyoto.
At the end of this winding path, you will find a hidden retreat.
Ishibei-koji Muan is located near Kodaiji Temple, within walking distance of Kiyomizu-dera Temple and Yasaka Shrine.
Although surrounded by famous sights, the inn is set away from major roads, allowing you to rest both body and mind in deep tranquility.
With a warm, welcoming ambiance that feels like returning home, we gently invite you into a place of calm and comfort.

【Limited to Three Groups per Day】
Ishibei-koji Muan is an intimate inn with only three guest rooms.
Because of our small scale, we are able to offer wholehearted hospitality to every guest.
Our attentive staff may feel like close friends at times, and at other moments serve as your personal concierge—supporting your journey in Kyoto with care and sincerity.

【Feel the Beauty of the Present Moment】
There are no televisions in the guest rooms.
Instead, you are invited to enjoy the quiet of the night, and during the day, to listen to the gentle footsteps along the stone alley—letting your thoughts wander and your imagination unfold.
The rooms are simple yet refined, featuring carefully chosen traditional materials, architectural details, tatami mats, and antique furnishings.
Each room is equipped with a private hinoki (Japanese cypress) bath, perfect for soothing your body after a day of sightseeing.
We offer a selection of thoughtfully chosen amenities for your comfort.
Blending inherited traditions with modern sensibilities, the rooms provide a serene and relaxing stay.

【Relax at Our Guests-Only Bar】
Located on the first floor, our bar is exclusively available to staying guests.
Enjoy our curated whiskey collection as you share the day’s memories, celebrate a special occasion, or simply unwind in a private, intimate setting.

【An Experience Found Only Here】
At Ishibei-koji Muan, you will discover a lodging experience unlike any other—one that can only be offered in this place.
A special space that offers a sense of almost sacred peace, harmony, and quiet renewal.
