A New Stay Option Arrives in Front of Kyoto Station!
In autumn 2026, Courtyard by Marriott Kyoto Station will open in a prime location about a 3-minute walk from Kyoto Station’s Hachijo East Exit. Jointly developed by Marriott International—one of the world’s largest hotel groups—and the JR Central Group, the hotel will feature 270 rooms and is expected to serve a wide range of needs as an urban resort, from business trips and sightseeing to family travel.
Three Key Highlights
1. Outstanding Location—Just a 3-Minute Walk from the Station
An unbeatable location just a 3-minute walk from Kyoto Station, where the Shinkansen, local lines, and buses converge. Even first-time visitors to Kyoto can check in without getting lost, and morning departures and late-night returns are stress-free.
2. 270 Diverse Guest Rooms & a Design-Forward Space
Spacious guest rooms totaling 270 in all promise a relaxed stay. The interior design follows the concept “Collection of Kyoto Stories,” evoking Kyoto’s traditions and atmosphere with a calm ambience that incorporates elements of traditional machiya townhouses.
3. Well-Equipped On-Site Facilities
The hotel is scheduled to include an all-day dining venue, a café & bar, and a fitness gym. From relaxing between outings to staying on track with workouts during business trips, the facilities are designed for comfortable stays.
