First time visitor? Start from “About Sunrise Suites”!

A hotel where you can feel the atmosphere of temples and shrines – Sunrise Suites. One of various special features that creates this one-of-a-kind feel is the “Kato-Mado”, or the uniquely-shaped windows of each guest room.

Kato-Mado is often seen at temples, shrines, and castles, and the top part of the frame is shaped like a fire frame or a flower. It was brought from China to Japan sometime around 1,200-1,500 AC, along with the Zen culture and Zen architectural style.

Although it is the type of window that is a characteristic of temple and shrine architecture, a Kato-Mado seen from inside of a Sunrise Suites guestroom, together with the view of the inner garden through the window, somehow produces the ambience with Japanese elegance that is like the world of “The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter”, where a princess born from a bamboo grows into a beautiful woman, to be loved by many noblemen and even the emperor of the time.

A place where you can touch the feel of temples and shrines, and yet feel the traditional modest Japanese elegance. It is not just an accommodation; it is also where you can feel Kyoto. Stay at Sunrise Suites and enjoy your stay in Kyoto 200%!
