기온 야사카 신사 주변 × 선의 세계관이 느껴지는 숙소식사의 평가가 높은 호텔·료칸

This is a small luxury hotel with 55 rooms. Because of that, the staff pay close attention to every detail. They greeted me by name whenever we passed, and kindly listened to casual conversation—it's the kind of hotel that makes you want to come back again and again.

This was our first stay with the VMG Hotel group, and we made a Reservation because we were drawn to the location and breakfast at Heian Shrine. With only three Rooms, the atmosphere was calm and relaxing. Even though we may have caused some inconvenience with two children, everyone at the Hotel was truly kind and helpful, making our stay very comfortable. They also handled an issue pleasantly and professionally, for which we are very grateful. As for the Room, it was a bit inconvenient that there was no luggage rack like many Hotels have. Also, since the bathroom, toilet, and sink were all in one unit, it felt slightly inconvenient for five people across three generations (as two-bedroom or connecting Rooms often have two bathrooms/toilets). That said, the Room was spacious and spotless; we could hear the bell from Kodai-ji Temple and even catch glimpses of people passing along Nene-no-Michi—full of charm and atmosphere. Thanks to the great location, we could walk to many sights. Gion at night and Ishibe-Koji Alley were also wonderful. Breakfast at Heian Shrine was a special experience as well—this stay truly made us glad we chose this Hotel. Highly recommended.

This Accommodation is highly recommended. The Room was clean and comfortable, and with the fresh greenery of the season, the semi-open-air Onsen was absolutely wonderful. The front desk staff were also very helpful, and we had a pleasant stay. The location and surroundings are excellent. It’s an Accommodation I’d love to visit again. Next time, I plan to choose the largest Room with an open-air bath.

I stayed for one night last autumn and it was amazing, so this time I stayed for two nights. For both breakfast and dinner on the first and second days, they prepared different menus each day. Everything was absolutely delicious! The Ai Room was spacious, and the fresh flowers were adorable and beautiful. After dinner, floating yuzu in the cypress bath and soaking slowly was a blissful moment that made me forget everyday life. The yuzu served with the meals and in the bath were large and impressive. It’s in a prime location in Kyoto, right next to Yasaka Shrine, with an excellent atmosphere. Transportation is convenient, making it an easy base for sightseeing. It makes you want to stay again and again! I’ll be back!

1. The first impression: All the staff provide excellent service, both international and Japanese staff equally. 2. The second: The cuisine—crafted with incredible dedication by the head chef. 3. The third: The Room—so impressive that words can't do it justice. I was deeply moved by these experiences. Looking forward to visiting again next month! It would be great if you could arrange a partnered parking lot as well.

We stayed at the Accommodation on the last day of our trip to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. Arriving with excitement after being picked up in a luxury car, we were warmly welcomed by the smiling staff. When we entered our Room, we were delighted by the beautiful interior, a teepee and treats for our dog, and thoughtful hospitality such as chilled champagne and wonderful sweets—our dog was just as excited as we were. They also kindly accommodated our request to take a pre-dinner stroll together with our dog, which became a truly memorable experience. Dinner at the restaurant was outstanding, of course, but we were especially touched by an unexpected surprise after the meal. It became a very happy anniversary. Thank you for your heartfelt hospitality. It was a wonderful Hotel where each member of the staff worked with energy and pride.

We chose this inn because of the great reviews, and we’re glad we did. Although it was due to the property’s circumstances, we were upgraded to a larger room than the one we booked, and it was very comfortable. Every dish at dinner was delicious, and the portion size was just right. It was also nice to be able to relax since dinner is served in the room. The staff member in charge of our room was incredibly kind and chatted a lot with my son, which made our stay even more enjoyable. Thank you very much. There’s everything you need within walking distance, so the location is excellent and very convenient. We’d definitely like to stay here again when visiting Gion.

We stayed here on a family trip to Kyoto. Despite its prime location along Nene-no-Michi, which connects Kodaiji Temple and Yasaka Shrine, once you step inside you’ll find a quiet, refined space away from the city bustle—it truly impressed us. The building is said to be 120 years old, yet the interior and Facility are beautifully maintained and very clean, making it extremely comfortable. Thanks to the spacious layout (multiple bedrooms and two bathrooms), we were able to relax at our own pace while still enjoying quality time together as a family. In particular, the view from the second-floor living room with its mini bar was wonderful. Our favorite memory is spending a slow evening there with tea or drinks in hand, chatting as a family. We’re also grateful for the staff’s thoughtful and warm hospitality. It was a special stay that both adults and children thoroughly enjoyed. This is an Accommodation we would absolutely love to return to on our next visit to Kyoto.

We stayed for New Year's Eve for two consecutive years. We were grateful for the accommodating response to our requests for in-room dining. It was also delightful that the staff remembered us from last year. We enjoyed our traditional New Year's Eve activity of watching the "Kohaku" with delicious food, and towards the end, we could hear the Joya no Kane from Chion-in, making it a wonderful New Year's celebration. We also appreciated the prompt response to our request for a stay certificate afterward.

Comfortable stay. If I had to point out, the toilet seat was slightly small due to the standard unit bath, which is understandable. It is a Hotel I would consider using again if given the opportunity.

Our whole family stayed in a machiya for the first time. Since it was a private house, we were able to relax and enjoy our time without worrying about others. There are many restaurants nearby, so we also enjoyed exploring the neighborhood. We would like to stay at another machiya as well. We have no complaints about the facilities or amenities, but there were only two cups in the washroom (we booked for four people).

This was my first time staying here. We stayed in a charming Room located in a renovated storehouse at this innovative Ryokan with a traditional dining experience. The location is close to popular tourist spots like Kodaiji Temple and Nanzenji Temple, making it ideal for those who enjoy walking. The front desk staff, originally from Nepal, provided impeccable Japanese-style hospitality, which was impressive and pleasant. For breakfast, since we enjoyed Kyoto cuisine the night before, we opted for morning meals at a nearby café instead of the Japanese bento offered by the Ryokan. It was just right—I had toast, but they also offered options like curry rice. I would love to stay here again. Thank you very much!

I was looking for an affordable Accommodation for a 10-night Multiple Night Stay and ended up here. The toilet and bathroom are shared, but having a private Room at this price is truly appreciated. The location is also great—right near Chion-in Temple, and within walking distance of Gion-Shijo and Heian Shrine. (I even walked to Ginkaku-ji.) The landlady is usually there from around 9:00 to 21:00, which made me feel safe. The Room and bathrooms are clean, and both the landlady and other guests are friendly, making it very comfortable. In the dining area there is a toaster, microwave, and hot/cold water dispenser, so you can do simple cooking. Free coffee and tea are also available, so I enjoyed a relaxed breakfast every day. Highly recommended!

The room was luxuriously spacious for two people, and we were able to relax very comfortably. The bath in particular was roomy, and the washing area was also very large, which helped us unwind. I only have two requests. First, for a Multiple Night Stay, it would be helpful if bottled water and towel replacements could be provided without needing to request them in advance. Second, I would appreciate it if the vacuuming could be done a bit more thoroughly. There were a small dead moth and some hair near the entrance when we arrived, so we disposed of them ourselves. We would love to stay again next time, so I would be grateful if these points could be improved. Thank you very much for your hospitality during our stay.

Convenient access to Kiyomizu-dera, Yasaka Shrine, and Yasui Konpiragu Shrine. The private house rental made our children very happy. The customer service was excellent. Thank you!

This was my first time staying here! The check-in process was smooth! The location is great, near a bus stop and with good access from Kyoto Station. Communication with the host was quick and very helpful. The Room was tidy, but I noticed a little dust on the floor. The bathroom only had a shower, and I found it slightly inconvenient that shampoo and other items were placed directly on the floor. There wasn’t any storage space in the shower room, which made it a bit less convenient. When leaving the Room, an alarm went off even after closing the door; however, firmly closing it ensured proper locking. Having two toilets and sinks made my stay comfortable. Thank you very much!
