There is a statue of Takayoshi Kido on the west side of the hotel, and a company related to Genzui Kusaka is built on the north side, so it seems that Hotel Okura has a lot of history related to the Choshu clan.

The "Choshu Mansion Ruins Monument" is located in a corner of Kyoto Hotel Okura. The residence of the Choshu clan is the residence of the Mori clan of the Choshu clan, but it seems that it was a vast site. The north and south are large from Oike-dori to Ichinofune-ri, and the east and west are from Kiyamachi-dori to Kawaramachi-dori. It seems that it was destroyed by fire in the Kinmon Incident in 1864 at the end of the Edo period, and then it became a training ground for Choshu soldiers. The stone monument was erected in 1938.

It is the front line of the hottest domain at the end of the Edo period.
