Hotel Ninja Black - A themed concept hotel in a historic ninja school building with hot tubs and garden views

Located in Kamigyo Ward's quiet district, this 3-star Kyoto hotel occupies a building that formerly housed the historic Koka School of Ninja. Hotel Ninja Black features 21 non-smoking rooms equipped with Simmons beds with 7.5-inch pillow tops, flat-screen TVs, hot tubs, and deep soaking bathtubs. Each air-conditioned room includes a refrigerator, electric kettle, safe deposit box, and private bathroom with bidet and free toiletries. The property operates a 24-hour front desk and offers bicycle rentals, concierge services, and complimentary WiFi throughout. Continental breakfast is served daily from 7:00 AM, while guests can enjoy tea on the terrace overlooking the garden. Situated 0.5 miles from Kyoto Imperial Palace and Goou Jinja Shinto Shrine, Ninja Black stands 1 mile from Nishiki Market Shopping District and 1.5 miles from Heian Shrine.

Pros

Historic connection to the Koka ninja family legacy

10-minute walk from Marutamachi Station

Garden terrace for tea service

Hypoallergenic dacron fiber duvets in all rooms

Cons

30.5 miles from Itami Airport

No on-site restaurant

“The ninja theme certainly makes this property a distinctive choice in Kyoto's Kamigyo Ward, near the Imperial Palace. Rooms are apparently more spacious than typical Japanese standards, though the location necessitates reliance on buses and subways. For those seeking a quiet, culturally immersive stay slightly removed from the city center, it presents an interesting option.”
