There was a huge lamp called “Kanjin no Kyokari” in the middle of the lobby. This is said to have been made by a traditional craftsman in Kyoto as a light that keeps the tradition and newness without forgetting Kanjin (the most important thing).
The inside of the shade was made of brightly colored Nishijin-ori fabric which was very beautiful.
A magnificent tapestry is also hung in the space in front of the atrium, which draws a map of Kyoto, and the stand light at the bottom right is the location of the hotel. It was a calm space unique to a historic hotel.

Summary
I had a nice stay at the “Kyoto Century Hotel.” The hotel is not new as it is a classic and historic hotel, but the hotel was kept very clean and I was able to stay comfortably. The most recommended space is the atrium in the lobby on the 2nd floor. With a profound and nostalgic atmosphere, the large stand light, which is a symbol of the hotel, is overwhelming and makes you want to take pictures. I think it’s a spot worth taking a look at when you visit Kyoto. Why not stay at a long-established hotel in a convenient location in front of Kyoto Station?
