Kyoto Accommodation, a 9-minute walk from Gion-Shijo Station

In April 2026, “Kyoto In Gion Annex No. 2” was reborn as “Akari Kyoto Gion.” “Share the first light with you.” Guided by the glow of tradition, step into a new Gion story yet to be discovered. Gion is a town where people and culture have continued to intersect for over a thousand years. Like the gentle light of an andon lantern glowing along its quiet lanes, Akari -AKARI- hopes to softly illuminate your journey. Located in the heart of Gion, Akari is your ideal base for experiencing Kyoto more deeply. A 7-minute walk to Yasaka Shrine and a 12-minute walk to Kiyomizu-dera Temple—perfectly situated for sightseeing throughout Kyoto. Breakfast will be renewed from June 2026. Enjoy an interactive onigiri (rice ball) station & soup server, plus a drink bar. From warm onigiri to a more distinctly Kyoto-style Japanese breakfast, we offer you a fresh start to your morning. May this small light lit in Gion grow into a “cultural light” that spreads across Japan and around the world. From here, we will carry the region’s unique charm into the future.
