Hilton Grand Vacations Continues International Expansion with Opening of First Resort in Kyoto, Japan
Tradimo Kyoto Gojo, a Hilton Grand Vacations Club, becomes company's third property in Japan
Hilton Grand Vacations Inc. (NYSE:HGV), the premier vacation ownership and experiences company, announces the opening of Tradimo Kyoto Gojo, a Hilton Grand Vacations Club. The elegantly reimagined resort opens as the company's third property in Japan and first in Kyoto.
Tradimo Kyoto Gojo features 63 modern one‑bedroom suites with generous layouts and well‑appointed kitchens, each thoughtfully designed to reflect the local character and lifestyle of Kyoto. Situated in the charming town of Gojo and just one stop from Kyoto Station, the resort places members within easy reach of World Heritage sites, the historic Gion district and the vibrant Nishiki Market.
"Kyoto is one of the world's most iconic cultural destinations, and we're honored to introduce a resort that reflects its heritage," said Mark Wang, CEO of Hilton Grand Vacations. "The opening of Tradimo Kyoto Gojo reflects the momentum of our growing opportunities in Japan. With three resorts now spanning the country — from the coastline of Okinawa to the hot springs of Odawara to the cultural heart of Kyoto — we're giving our members an unmatched way to experience Japan's traditions, natural beauty and rich culture."
Rising 10 stories, Tradimo Kyoto Gojo preserves the building's original structure and façade, reimagined through the lens of kintsugi, the centuries-old Japanese art of repairing broken ceramics with gold. The team carefully retained the building's existing systems while sourcing Japanese cypress and bamboo from local suppliers. The design also draws inspiration from Kyoto's traditional wooden townhouses, known as kyo-machiya, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor areas throughout the property. Guests are welcomed by a Japanese moss garden at the entrance, and the lobby evokes the communal living space of a traditional Kyoto home, featuring Japanese paper partitions that cast soft bamboo shadows at twilight. Display alcoves, known as tokonoma, showcase art and seasonal flowers across the resort, creating a living connection to Kyoto's four seasons.
Tradimo Kyoto Gojo joins The Bay Forest Odawara, a Hilton Club, and The Beach Resort Sesoko, a Hilton Club, giving HGV members an expanding footprint across one of the world's most dynamic travel markets. The company has operated in Japan since 2003 and now counts more than 75,000 members in the country.
Consistent with its commitment to the communities where it operates, HGV is partnering with the Kyoto Tourism Board to support sustainable tourism in the region. The company is also contributing to several local nonprofit and community organizations, including the Kyoto Center for Community Collaboration and the Jidai Matsuri and Aoi Matsuri festivals.
