A hidden retreat in Kyoto’s Gion, nestled in a quiet and atmospheric setting

Surrounded by the nature of Higashiyama, the Gion area is one of Kyoto's most popular tourist destinations. Within walking distance to the World Heritage site Kiyomizu-dera Temple and Hanamikoji Street, where you can see Maiko passing by. Just a 10-minute shuttle bus ride from Kyoto Station, with free daily service, you can fully enjoy your trip to Kyoto, whether for sightseeing or business. The Hotel also features a large public bath to soothe your travel fatigue. Relax in a serene Japanese-modern space. The women's bath is equipped with a powder room. For dining, we offer Kyoto-style tempura by "Yasaka Endo," a long-loved establishment in Gion, as well as original Hotel menu options.

  • They kindly and courteously assisted us from check-in, including guidance to the parking area, and we were able to enjoy a wonderful stay. The interior atmosphere also suited the quiet streetscape of Gion Yasaka-dori, which was great. Just one thing... I was only concerned that water overflowing from the bathtub quickly flowed out into the vanity area outside the bathroom. I would definitely like to stay again.

  • My spouse and I stayed here as a couple.We chose this Hotel based on a recommendation from an acquaintance. It was in a great location for exploring Gion. The staff were kind and very helpful. My husband and I agreed that the breakfast was better than at any other Hotel. We wanted to eat more, but we were full and very satisfied.We were also happy to enjoy Ogawa Coffee’s coffee. We would love to stay again.Thank you very much for everything!
