(10th) 2014 Kyoto Studies Lecture “Traveling in Kyoto ~Sightseeing Gaze~”
The first hotel in Kyoto was Nakamuraya in Gion, which opened in the first year of the Meiji era (1868). Later, in Meiji 21 (1888), Kyoto Tokiwa, which followed the current Kyoto Hotel, opened in Kamogawa Nijo Ohashi Nishizume. Kyoto Tokiwa received the payment of the ruins of the government facility in Kawaramachi Nijo, and restarted in Meiji 23 (1890) as a newly built Western-style hotel as KIOTO HOTEL. The fact that Crown Prince Nicholas of Russia stayed at this hotel and encountered the Otsu incident was a major international event. In 1925, the first Rotary club in Kyoto was established at the Kyoto Hotel. We will focus on the history of hotels in Kyoto that have progressed with the times.
