“SUSHI-BAR” Launches at The Hotel Seiryu Kyoto Kiyomizu to Enhance Kyoto’s Nighttime Economy

The Hotel Seiryu Kyoto Kiyomizu is excited to announce the launch of “SUSHI-BAR＠library,” a new initiative aimed at promoting Kyoto’s nighttime economy.

This unique concept combines a modern space with sushi and bar elements, making it accessible not only to hotel guests but also to the general public.

“We want to provide a place where everyone can casually enjoy Japan’s sushi culture,” said Mr. Takanori Muroi, General Manager of the Hotel Seiryu.

This initiative is designed to enhance the nighttime experience in the historically rich Higashiyama area, where the hotel is located. The area is home to the World Heritage Kiyomizu-dera Temple and is known for its many famous tourist attractions.

While the area attracts numerous visitors during the day, it often falls quiet after sunset when the temples close. During this quiet time you can experience the true beauty of Kyoto, far from the crowds.

SUSHI-BAR＠library aims to enhance your experience by offering a vibrant atmosphere with upbeat background music, allowing guests to enjoy sushi in a casual bar setting. The sushi is carefully selected for its origin and freshness, and includes everything from individual nigirizushi to the salmon sushi rolls that are popular among foreign customers.

There is also a wide variety of alcohol that goes well with sushi, allowing diners to enjoy the marriage of sushi in the form of pairing. A variety of a la carte options will also be available, catering to diverse tastes.

The launch of SUSHI-BAR＠library is not just about food; it is a strategic move to invigorate the nighttime economy in Kyoto. “We are confident that this new endeavor will enhance tourist satisfaction and contribute to the revitalization of the local community.” Mr. Takanori Muroi, General Manager of the Hotel Seiryu. added.

As the closest hotel to the World Heritage Kiyomizu-dera Temple, The Hotel Seiryu Kyoto Kiyomizu invites everyone to experience the charm of Kyoto’s nighttime landscape while enjoying the rich flavors of traditional sushi in a modern setting.
