The Hotel Seiryu Kyoto Kiyomizu has received the prestigious Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star rating for the fourth consecutive year, showcasing its commitment to outstanding hospitality.

With 48 beautifully designed rooms, the hotel first secured this Four-Star achievement in 2022.

Originally established as Kiyomizu Elementary School in 1933, the building underwent a transformation into a boutique hotel while maintaining its historical allure. Located in Kyoto’s Higashiyama district, the hotel provides easy access to renowned landmarks including the Kiyomizudera Temple, the historic Gion district famous for its geisha culture, and the scenic streets of Sannenzaka and Ninenzaka, which are lined with traditional wooden townhouses and teahouses. Visitors can also discover Yasaka Shrine and Maruyama Park, both within walking distance, offering a rich insight into Kyoto’s cultural heritage.

A new addition to Tokyo’s skyline, Takanawa Gateway City, will span 1.6 km and will house a shopping center, public garden, offices, and cultural facilities. Highlighting the complex is the JW Marriott Hotel Tokyo with 200 guest rooms, a restaurant, bar, and more, set to become a key MICE destination with the Takanawa Gateway Convention Center capable of hosting up to 2,000 attendees.

Conveniently situated merely 15 minutes from Haneda Airport, Takanawa Gateway City allows easy access to iconic attractions in Tokyo, such as Tokyo Tower, known for its panoramic views, and the pulsating shopping hubs of Ginza and Shibuya.
