Japanese hospitality company Hotel Okura has announced plans to strengthen its presence in the country with new property opening in January next year.

The new 60-room Hotel Okura Kyoto Okazaki Bettei will be located close to the historic Okazaki Betsuin Temple in Kyoto.

The rooms in the hotel would range from 40m² in size, including eight 80m² suite rooms in the theme of a mountain villa.

Furthermore, the hotel will offer a restaurant on the first floor featuring large windows in addition to a lounge, a bar and a fitness centre.

The hotel interior is being designed by ‘GO ON’, a project team consisting of six inheritors of traditional Kyoto craft skills.

Real estate developer Mitsubishi Estate will be responsible for managing the new hotel.
