Capella Kyoto will open in Spring 2026 in the historic Miyagawa-cho district, perpetuating a former elementary school site as a place of learning and cultural discovery. Designed by Kengo Kuma and Associates and Brewin Design Office, the 89-room hotel sits steps from Kenninji - Kyoto's oldest Zen temple - and the celebrated Miyagawa-cho Kaburenjo Theatre, where geiko and maiko perform seasonal dances.
