Hotel introduction
THE JUNEI HOTEL Kyoto was planned down to minute details to make skillful use 
of the bamboo and moon concept.

The roof-top garden is a dedicated space for moon appreciation. In this little 
bamboo-enclosed space, guests can watch the moon rise over the eastern hills 
and bask in its light.

Guest room design characteristics
The rooms are supplied with fragrant cypress bathtubs, various bamboo 
handicrafts, and art made with Yumekouro dyed fabrics, which have gradient 
colors akin to flickering light. Furthermore, the amenities are filled with 
top-quality, organic ingredients, such as moisture-retaining silk.

experiences they will always love to share.

Auberge restaurant operated by FTG Company, which has over 60 chain locations 
across Japan, China, Hong Kong, Hawaii, and New York. Niku Kappo Futago, a 
restaurant to be opened on the hotel premises, follows a new line of business 
with a "relaxed, mature IKI" concept. IKI is a Japanese word meaning "chic" as 
well as "breath" and "will."

Following THE JUNEI HOTEL Kyoto's bamboo and moon concept, they will provide 
three "moon"-themed monthly course options centered around Wagyu beef that 
guests can enjoy with all five senses. The main courses are highly selective 
cuts of Wagyu beef, and there are many brands of sake to choose from to suit 
each serving. As Kyoto cuisine is already based on how it changes with the 
seasons, the monthly courses offer a new, fresh taste of "IKI" to enjoy 
throughout the year.
