마루야마 공원 (교토) 주변 × 꽃을 즐길 수 있는 숙소평가가 높은 호텔·료칸

I originally made a Reservation at “Nene no Michi Bettei,” but due to a change in Room allocation, I ended up staying at Hotel VMG Kyoto Kamogawa. From check-in to check-out, I was deeply impressed by the staff’s impeccable attention to detail and thoughtful hospitality. Sleeping in the bedroom while gazing up at the coffered ceiling felt like an “exceptional escape from everyday life.” At the paid lounge, alcohol and other drinks are available free-flow, with snacks as well—it truly feels like a private lounge. Because the property preserves the character of a historic building, soundproofing is not perfect; however, it more than makes up for it with an elegant, nostalgic atmosphere. The Japanese-style room next to the bedroom overlooks a small courtyard garden and offers a wonderfully atmospheric view that made time feel as if it passed more slowly. That said, perhaps because the air conditioning does not reach this room easily, I found the heat noticeable. Although it would involve additional cost, lending spot coolers or simple heaters to guests upon request during limited seasons (summer/winter) could help make better use of this room and may also become a new experiential highlight—especially for international travelers. I’m truly grateful to all of the staff for giving me such an extraordinary stay. This is a Hotel I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone seeking an “indescribably exceptional escape from everyday life.”

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 here for one night on a trip to Kyoto. I often stay in Kyoto and Nara, and this place has the unique comfort of a compact hotel. It feels very cozy, the Facilities are well equipped, and overall satisfaction is high. Although the hours are limited, it’s wonderful that there are complimentary drinks. Having local Kyoto sake is a service that makes travelers very happy. I was delighted to find the same sake I had at Kyoto Station on my way back. It might be nice if it were available for purchase as well. The front desk staff were kind—I enjoyed talking about sake with them—and they replenished breakfast at just the right times, so I had a very comfortable stay. Kyoto summers are hot, so I’d like to visit again after peak season. Thank you very much.

We had a comfortable stay. There were fewer tourists than expected, so it was quiet and relaxing. The parking area was spacious and easy to use. Thank you very much.

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!

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.

Stayed at the accommodation after a long time. The quality of the room, the garden view from the window—everything was truly wonderful. The location is also excellent. Additionally, it felt like the service has improved significantly compared to before. I was able to relax and enjoy my stay. I was delighted to receive a stollen for Christmas as well. Thank you very much!

It was another comfortable stay. We apologize for the trouble caused by my friend’s forgotten item, and we truly appreciate your kind and attentive support. The breakfast we were looking forward to was exactly as expected—both the fresh juice and the rice were delicious. We enjoyed a hearty meal with an extra serving of rice before heading out sightseeing. We also appreciated the quiet atmosphere, as well as the lounge in the evening and the coffee service in the morning. In Kyoto we end up walking a lot, so it was wonderful to relax in the spacious bathtub to ease our tiredness, then unwind and chat in the lounge. This is a Hotel in Gion with great access for getting around on foot. We will visit again.

I have stayed at other machiya-style Accommodations in Kyoto before, but this was my first time using this group. First, the space felt larger in person than it looked in the photos I checked when making the Reservation. It almost felt like too much space for one person. The location is also quiet and right by the Shirakawa River—an area I highly recommend. As for amenities, there was a rice cooker among the cooking tools. I didn’t use it this time, but it seems very convenient. The only disappointment was that there wasn’t a full-length mirror. Many long-stay Accommodations also don’t provide one, but being able to check your whole outfit before going out makes a big difference—so having one would be really helpful.

I made a Reservation to coincide with a visit to Minamiza Theatre. With Chion-in Temple right in front, the location is incredible. It was my first time staying at this Accommodation, and I was delighted by the warm welcome from the moment they held my luggage before check-in. The Room was more than sufficient for a solo trip, and there was also a thoughtful selection of tea and sweets. From the panoramic bath in the morning, I could truly see the red torii gate of Heian Shrine, and breakfast featured delicious Kyoto-style dishes. At check-out, they even saw me off to the exit; feeling happy that I had stayed at such a wonderful Accommodation in Gion, I then headed to Ginkaku-ji Temple. Thank you for your hospitality.

The cozy size of the Accommodation felt very comfortable, and the staff were wonderful—it was a place where we could truly relax. Kurumi had no other guest Rooms on the same floor, and the library next door felt like an extension of our own Room, which made it feel like a great bonus (lol). The location was also convenient for visiting Kiyomizu-dera before breakfast and coming back easily. Breakfast was delicious as well. Thank you very much for a lovely stay.

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!
