Restaurant's private room
A space that creates intimate time away from the rest of the crowd
The hipped roof, which is also a characteristic of Japanese architecture, is captured in abstract form and constructed into a sculptural space. You can glimpse the Kyoto garden, where you can feel the four seasons, from the floor-level window that looks like a snow-viewing paper sliding door.
Guest Room
The guest rooms that delicately and subtly harmonize with the surrounding landscape are peaceful spaces that will soothe you.Various pieces showing the aesthetic senses of Kyoto are meticulously scattered on the path from the hotel entrance to the guest rooms.
Japanese Garden
Enjoy the nature-rich garden of Higashi Hongan-ji Okazaki Betsuin temple and the scenery every season.
Hotel Okura Kyoto Okazaki Bettei is in the same precincts as the Okazaki Betsuin temple of the Shinshu Otani-ha (Higashi Hongan-ji Temple Okazaki Betsuin) that is said to be the site of the thatched hut of Shinran Shonin. You can enjoy the rich nature inside the temple precincts and the seasonal scenery of the Japanese garden from the balconies of the suite rooms and other areas. Hotel guests can go on a stroll through the Geishun (spring) garden, where the hotel has planted plum trees and cherry blossoms, as well as the Senshu (autumn) garden, where autumn leaves and other sights can be enjoyed.
