Rooms

Nestled among the narrow winding lanes of the historic Higashiyama neighborhood of Kyoto, lies a quiet cobblestone path hidden from the tourists and treasured by the locals. Down this lane lies the luxury ISHIBEKOJI MUAN.

This three suite inn provides luxury, privacy and the personal touch that Kyoto is famous for. Only footsteps from ancient gardens and temples yet with comfortably close access to transportation and nightlife, come experience Kyoto the way it was meant to be experienced.

Embodying the essence of Small Luxury, the Hanami Room offers an intimate haven where refined simplicity meets timeless beauty.
Located on the ground floor overlooking a tranquil courtyard garden, this room invites you to slow down and savor each quiet moment.

Drawing inspiration from the traditional Japanese tea room, it features tatami flooring, hanging scrolls, bamboo blinds, shoji and fusuma screens — each element crafted to reflect harmony, balance, and subtle elegance.
The spirit of the tea room lies in wabi-sabi — an appreciation for quiet beauty and imperfection, where serenity and grace unfold in simplicity.

Natural textures and gentle light create a space that soothes the senses.
For your comfort, plush bedding with thick mattresses ensures a deep and restful sleep.
A historical suit of armor from the Watanabe Hanzō family, retainers of Tokugawa Ieyasu in the Edo period, adds a touch of cultural authenticity.

In your private hinoki bath, the gentle fragrance of Japanese cypress surrounds you, offering a meditative escape from the rhythm of everyday life.
Every detail, from curated amenities to the serene design, reflects our wish to provide a moment of quiet luxury.

Enjoy the view of the garden, the stillness, and the feeling of time gently unfolding — a rare tranquility found only here.

Breakfast: 7:00 – 9:00 (served in-room or at the counter)

Located on the second floor, Hangetsu offers a serene view of Kyoto’s stone-paved lanes,
where the quiet charm of the old capital invites you to pause, breathe, and forget the passage of time.

As its name “Hangetsu” — meaning half moon — suggests,
the room evokes the poetic nights of ancient Japan,
when poets and nobles composed verses under the soft glow of the moon.

Through the bamboo blinds, the moonlight filters gently into the bedroom,
casting a quiet, wistful beauty across the space.

The bedroom by the window and the relaxing living area are divided by shoji screens,
creating a sense of intimacy and calm within the stillness.

Minimalist in design, the room celebrates the beauty of space and simplicity,
offering a refined yet quietly romantic retreat for two.

Inside, Ryukyu tatami mats — borderless and square-cut — are arranged in alternating directions,
so that a soft checkerboard pattern appears as light moves across the floor.

Now rarely produced and considered highly valuable,
these tatami lend an understated touch of luxury to the serene ambiance.

The private hinoki bath invites you to unwind in the pure scent of Japanese cypress,
letting the warmth and fragrance gently ease both body and mind.

Every amenity has been selected with care,
allowing you to experience the refined stillness and subtle luxury that define Kyoto’s spirit.

Whether traveling alone, as a couple, or with close friends or family,
Hangetsu offers a quiet, elegant stay that feels both personal and timeless.
