As many guests have said, this is an outstanding Hotel. From the moment you step inside, you immediately understand why it is the Imperial Hotel—thanks to the serene atmosphere and the refined hospitality of the staff. Our Room was a tatami-style Room in the North Wing, at eye level with Gion’s traditional Kyoto townhouses, and enjoying Kawakami’s breakfast there was such an elegant experience that we almost forgot we were in a Hotel. I have never written a Review before, but this Hotel was so wonderful that I simply had to.

I stayed here as a birthday gift for my sister. We were amazed the moment we entered the Room—not only did you prepare a Room with a view of the five-story pagoda, but you also gifted us sparkling wine to celebrate. My sister was absolutely thrilled. In the lounge, we enjoyed a wide variety of drinks and alcohol, along with visually stunning sweets and carefully crafted dishes. At night, we dined at the rooftop bar while taking in Kyoto’s night views. For breakfast, I chose a conger eel hot pot—something rare for a Hotel breakfast—and truly savored Kyoto’s summer flavors. We were also able to visit Kiyomizu-dera early in the morning when it was quiet and uncrowded, which made us very happy. It seems it became a wonderful memory for my sister as well. Thank you very much for taking so many photos for us.

I originally made a Reservation at “Nene no Michi Bettei,” but due to a change in Room allocation, I ended up staying at Hotel VMG Kyoto Kamogawa.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.”

I stayed here with my husband while I was pregnant. One morning, we woke up unusually early and took a walk together to Kiyomizu-dera Temple. The location is excellent, and I think it’s ideal for sightseeing. The lounge was also very comfortable. I recommend staying in a Room with a large bath!

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.

This Accommodation was even more comfortable than we expected for a trip with three adult female friends. What made us happiest was that each of the three of us could have our own Room. At night, we could relax in our own space, sleep well, and feel refreshed for sightseeing the next day. There were also two toilets, which made getting ready in the morning smooth. Both the Rooms and the water areas were kept very clean, and the amenities were well stocked. Since most essentials were provided, we were glad we could pack lighter as well. The bath was spacious and spotless. Soaking and unwinding after walking around Kyoto felt wonderful. There were plenty of plates, glasses, and cutlery too, so we could buy what we liked at a nearby supermarket and enjoy it leisurely in our Room—another great plus. The location was convenient for walking to sightseeing spots, and it was nice to be able to return to the Accommodation quickly when we got tired. If you want to fully enjoy sightseeing while also relaxing at your own pace at the Accommodation, this is a perfect place for an adult women’s trip to Kyoto. We would definitely like to stay here again when we visit Kyoto next time.

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 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.

From check-in to check-out, the hospitality was exceptional throughout our stay. Every in-room amenity featured a top-tier brand, and the attention to detail was evident in every aspect. From the Frette bedding and linens to the Bertrami pajamas, everything felt wonderfully soft and comfortable. After 5:00 p.m., we were also able to enjoy a maiko performance in the living room with a glass of champagne in hand—an unforgettable way to experience Kyoto culture.

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!

I can’t say enough good things about Ishibekoji Ryugin. Check-in was seamless with the keypad, communication was excellent, and the property was outstanding. We stayed in the first-floor one-bedroom unit and couldn’t have been happier. There was plenty of space, with a separate dining area, living room, and tea area overlooking the garden and Ishibekoji Road. The kitchen was well equipped, and having a fridge and stovetop was a great touch. The bathroom was spacious, with a good-sized shower and a large jetted tub. Overall, the property was in excellent condition and very well presented. And most importantly: the location makes this ryokan a true bucket-list stay. It’s on a calm, private street tucked away from Kyoto’s bustle, yet just a short walk to shopping and several shrines—and only about a minute from taxi pickup. We loved exploring nearby places to eat and drink. I’ve already recommended it to multiple friends and would definitely stay again. Thank you so much!

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!

We stayed as a group of five friends. The location and rooms were excellent. It was great to be able to walk to Kiyomizu Temple in about 10 minutes early in the morning, allowing us to enjoy a peaceful visit before it got crowded. The Japanese-style living room provided a relaxing space, perfect for resting after a long day. We would definitely love to stay here again!

I stayed here twice shortly after it opened, and this time I returned for the first time in seven years. Back then, I felt the service didn’t quite suit us, but this time all the front desk staff were friendly. Perhaps because it was early in the morning, the large public bath was also very well cleaned, and I had a comfortable stay. The Room is not large by any means, but considering this location in Gion and the level of service for this price, I was very satisfied. If possible, I would appreciate having bath towels available in the bath area or an extra set of towels placed in the Room. Reusing a wet towel multiple times isn’t pleasant. Also, I would like a “Do Not Disturb” sign for the Room. Even if housekeeping is not expected to enter, mistakes can happen. For security reasons as well, I strongly hope you will consider this. If I have another opportunity, I would love to stay again. Thank you in advance.

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.

This is a charming accommodation with a pleasant atmosphere. It is a whole-house rental, providing plenty of space to enjoy. Although the access road is narrow, having parking available is very convenient. Since roads in this area are generally narrow and parking can be difficult to secure, it’s recommended to park here and explore the area on foot. Parking before check-in or after check-out can also be arranged by consulting with the staff managing the accommodation. Meals are delivered from a catering service called "Sensan." While there was an incident of food poisoning in the past, it seems they have made significant improvements since then. The meals were delicious with a delightful aroma of dashi broth, and breakfast was also luxurious. The amenities include regular ground coffee, which was surprisingly good and added to our enjoyment during the stay.

A must-experience traditional townhouse. We stayed for 3 nights with 4 people. The building is new and functional, with luxurious decor that delights the eyes at every turn. The bathroom features a modern unit bath, and the beautiful tiles on the walls made it a relaxing space to spend time in. There are toilets on both the first and second floors, so even with a larger group, there was no inconvenience. Despite visiting during a cold season, the underfloor heating kept us warm, avoiding the typical chill often associated with townhouses. If I may add one suggestion, chairs or sofas would have been nice. Since it was tatami flooring and a sunken kotatsu table setup, it might feel slightly less comfortable for foreign guests.

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.

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!
