Situated in Kyoto, 1 km from Kiyomizu-dera Temple, シーザー祇園CaesarGion features rooms with city views and free WiFi. The property is set 2.5 km from Heian Shrine, 2.8 km from TKP Garden City Kyoto and 1.9 km from Kyoto Shigaku Kaikan Conference Hall. The property is non-smoking and is located 1 km from Gion Shijo Station.

The inn will provide guests with air-conditioned rooms with a wardrobe, a kettle, a safety deposit box, a flat-screen TV and a private bathroom with a bidet. The location was fantastic, right in the heart of the Gion district and within walking distance of some of Kyoto’s most beautiful spots. There’s also a bus stop just steps away, making it incredibly convenient to get around the city. The hotel itself feels very new, and our room was super spacious for Japanese standards. Everything was spotless, which is always my top priority. We arrived about an hour and a half before check-in, and the staff kindly let us know our room was already ready. They allowed us to check in early at no extra charge, which made a huge difference for us. We really enjoyed our stay and would absolutely return! :)

Ideally located in the centre of Kyoto, Kokonoe Machiya offers air-conditioned rooms, a garden, free WiFi and a shared lounge. The property is around less than 1 km from Nijo Castle, 1.8 km from Kitano Tenmangu Shrine and 2.7 km from Kyoto International Manga Museum. The accommodation provides a shared kitchen, room service and organising tours for guests.

At the inn, every room is equipped with a wardrobe. The rooms are equipped with a safety deposit box and some rooms also feature city views. I have stayed in multiple 京町家 or renovated traditional Kyoto houses and this is by far the best one. Very friendly and professional owner who explains everything very thoroughly, neat interior design that impresses you the moment you walk in, clear instructions for everything, great facilities, beautiful back garden. This is how the 京町家 business should be done: with love and care instead of just buying off properties and letting someone else un-invested run it

Amazing hospitality and beautiful historic home refuge away from the super bustling areas. Nice taste of quieter residential living close to the river. Our host was amazingly helpful and gracious. We loved the Japanese bath as well. Also happy to meet “shin” 🐕

Ideally set in the Shimogyo Ward district of Kyoto, JP INN Kyoto Ekimae Mongakucho is situated 800 metres from TKP Garden City Kyoto, 1.5 km from Kyoto Shigaku Kaikan Conference Hall and 1.9 km from Sanjusangen-do Temple. The property is around 3.1 km from Kyoto International Manga Museum, 3.3 km from Gion Shijo Station and 3.5 km from Kiyomizu-dera Temple. The property is 700 metres from Kyoto Station, and within 1.8 km of the city centre. We stayed in JP INN Kyoto for 3 days. We were very impressed to the attention to detail information the staff provided in their binder, we were able to learn proper etiquettes during our stay. The room we stayed at had everything a regular hotel would have, perhaps even more! The linens, towels and our bedding were very clean and from the moment we walked in to our room, we felt very delighted that our room was well kept. The location was also very accommodating, just a short walk, less than 10 min or a quick taxi ride. Plenty of restaurants and cobini stores around the area and one of the best location if you want to tour Kyoto. Highly, highly recommend. We will definitely look into booking at JP INN in the near future when we visit Kyoto again!
