“What is this little lane?”
Passersby often pause at Ishibei-koji, a quiet stone-paved alley that preserves the timeless spirit of Kyoto.
At the end of this winding path awaits Ishibei-koji Muan.

Located near Kodaiji Temple and within walking distance of Kiyomizu-dera and Yasaka Shrine, our inn is surrounded by famous sights, yet tucked away from busy roads—offering peaceful comfort that feels like home.

【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, let your thoughts wander and your imagination unfold.
Blending inherited traditions with modern sensibilities, the rooms provide a serene and relaxing stay.

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 also offer a selection of thoughtfully chosen amenities for your comfort.

【RELAX AT OUR GUESTS-ONLY BAR】
