Entering this property, which faces Kyoto’s imposing Nijo Castle, requires passing under the 300-year-old Kajimiya Gate — built not long before this estate was acquired by the Mitsuis, a family that has been influential in business since the late Edo period. It’s now a hotel with 161 guest rooms inspired by the soft tones and sleek wood interiors of traditional teahouses.
