Property Details: OMO3 Kyoto Toji by Hoshino Resorts

Concept-"Traveling through Space and Time "
Kyoto City has a history of 1,200 years, since the founding of Heiankyo, and it is Japan’s most popular tourist destination in Japan, visited by more than 50 million tourists every year. The Toji area is a quiet area of Kyoto, where the symbol of Kyoto and one of the World Heritage sites, the Five Storied Pagoda resides with elegance and beauty just 5 minutes away from the hotel. Toji is the only surviving remains of Heiankyo and this temple was entrusted to Kukai, a Japanese Buddhist monk, who returned to Japan after studying Buddhism during the Tang dynasty. Find peace and calm within this ancient city as you take a break in Kyoto or spend a relaxing time at a temple with a Buddha statue. 
Features that will fill your travel with excitement! 

“OMO Base” – Community Lounge
OMO base is a public space where the front desk and library resides and it is best described as a community space, almost an extension of the guest rooms. OMO3 Kyoto Toji was designed in a way so that the Toji area is most memorable out of all the cities of Kyoto. 

Art works - “Mandala art” and “Wall of the gentle smile” 
The entrance of the hotel is decorated with the “Mandala art” with 21 Buddhas illustrated on a three-dimensional Mandala and the “Wall of the gentle smile” displaying the gentle smile and expression of the Buddha using light and shadows.
Balancing the mind through writings on sand - “Tracing sutra table”
In the middle of the OMO base, the “tracing sutra table” will be set up, where guests can balance their minds through copying sutras and writing characters on sand. This activity was inspired by the fact that Kukai was known for his calligraphy. Different from calligraphy using ink, guests can freely write characters and letters on sand, where you can try as many times as you want.

At OMO, we consider the entire city centered around the hotel to be a resort of its own and we want our guests to go out into the city instead of spending time inside the hotel. Go-KINJO is a service comprised of the Go-KINJO Map and Go-KINJO activity, and its aim is for guests to learn about the deep culture of nearby neighborhoods. 

“Go-KINJO Map” – the old and new of the Toji area
The door features a contemporary map on its surface and a Heian-era map on its inner panel. By sliding the door open and closed, guests can compare the Toji area then and now. The map highlights historical points of interest, such as the former Rajomon gate and Saiji temple, indicating their locations relative to modern landmarks. It also showcases street names that have remained unchanged through the centuries and enduring locations of cultural significance.
