Arashiyama, a timeless destination, has captivated people for generations. Nestled at the foot of this historic site, directly facing the iconic Togetsu Bridge, MUNI KYOTO by Onko Chishin embodies a harmonious blend of traditional Japanese culture and contemporary design.
The hotel’s architecture, crafted by Koichi Yasuda of Yasuda Atelier and Uchida Design Research Institute, seamlessly combines "Western and Eastern" aesthetics with "tradition and modernity." Using natural materials such as wood and stone, it creates a warm, tranquil ambiance enriched by minimalist sophistication and elegance.
The hotel features 21 guest rooms, each designed to harmonise with the surrounding natural beauty and add a modern touch to Arashiyama's storied history. Guests can enjoy panoramic views of the district, including the famed Togetsukyo Bridge, from spaces designed to blend seamlessly with the environment.
Culinary excellence is at the heart of MUNI KYOTO, with two French restaurants by Ducasse Paris. MUNI ALAIN DUCASSE offers contemporary French cuisine infused with Kyoto ingredients, while MUNI LA TERRASSE serves breakfast, lunch, and tea with a view of the Katsura River. Both restaurants are led by Chef Alessandro Gardiani, who has studied for 10 years at Alain Ducasse’s restaurants in Monaco, London, and Paris.
The hotel also features an original spa incorporating local elements like Kitayama cedar and Mizuo yuzu, offering a rejuvenating and distinctly Kyoto experience. With its thoughtful design and curated offerings, MUNI KYOTO provides a luxurious escape that honors Arashiyama's heritage and natural splendor.
