"The Hotel Seiryu Kyoto Shimizu" (awarded '1 Michelin star' for three consecutive years)

The former Kyoto Municipal Shimizu Elementary School, which opened in 1869 as Shimogyo 27th District Elementary School and was relocated and rebuilt on its current site in the early Showa period, has been preserved and renovated, and opened in March 2020 as a high-quality heritage hotel with 48 rooms. In addition to the functions expected of a hotel, it also takes on a new role in passing on the history and culture that the elementary school and the community have built over many years to a new era, based on the concept of "etching memories and connecting to the future."

Comment from General Manager Takayuki Muroi

We are deeply honored to have received a Michelin star for the third consecutive year. We believe this recognition is due to the unique space we have created, inheriting a historic school, and our warm, Kyoto-style hospitality. While further enhancing the hotel's appeal that we have built together with everyone, we will continue to cherish our connection with the local community and aim to become a leading Kyoto hotel loved by guests from all over the world.
