    Our favorite city out of the four we visited in Japan!

    Our favorite city out of the four we visited in Japan! The culture is rich, the places are amazing, the people are very welcoming and nice, and the restaurants were delicious. The train system is not as good as Tokyo or other major cities but there's plenty of bus options that you just need to understand a bit for traveling around town. I would 100% recommend an entire day for just wander around the streets of Gion.

    Kyoto is a different world from Tokyo. The history, landmarks and culture are undeniable. It is sadly, over touristed. Ninenzaka, Arashiama, Kinkakuji all packed with people posing for selfies. It is loved to death.

    It is a beautiful city with many attractions and different areas. It is also very busy and felt more crowded to me than Tokyo. The number of people in the market can be overwhelming, however the crowds are easy to avoid if you go slightly off the main streets. Rather than go to all the shrines, we chose a few and spent lots of time exploring each one.

    Truly stunning city in the temple and historic areas.

    Truly stunning city in the temple and historic areas. The other parts are very typical of any other city, but we didn't see any high rises or sky scrapers throughout. The tourist hot spots are absolutely slammed with people during the day in Autumn. Although this was to be expected, it is not pleasant. We ended up visiting temples and shrines between 5 and 10am to beat the crowds, relaxed and ate food during the bulk of the day, and then headed out again to Gion and Higashiyama Ward for night time illuminations around sunset which was also much less crowded.

    Subways were confusing at times and difficult to access...

    Subways were confusing at times and difficult to access platforms with luggage. I imagine folks with mobility issues would have found similar challenges relying elevators like we had to. Similar confusion arranging tickets at the machine for the Shinkansen. Instructions were a little unclear but the ticket office were very helpful in assisting us in getting the right tickets. These are relatively minor issues to be aware of as we had a really great time in Kyoto. Excellent walks to the market where there were an abundance of shops, making a nice round trip from hotel to Nishiki markets to old town. Some excellent restaurants too. Try the eggsl*t breakfast at city bakery, or a Bento Box at Obanzai restaurant for lunch. Further afield, half-day trips to Nara and Fushimi Inari Taisha with a short hike up the mountain. Bring some good walking shoes and try and avoid the crowds if you can, since no one seems to keep left or right.

    The property was conveniently located next to Omiya station, with quick access either by train or taxi to the popular Gion area. Hotel was exceptionally clean, staff were delightful, and the pyjamas were the best of our whole trip. Rooms were on the smaller side, but this is usual for Japan - they had everything you could possible need, including a kettle and many USB charges. The room rate was very good for Kyoto. I would recommend this hotel and would happily stay there again.

Nice room where you can sit and read, enjoy your food you brought with you. The rooms are so nice and spacious. The best experience I had in Japan! Perfect location for public transport.

    I had a comfortable stay in this hotel. Check in and check out was a breeze. But the best part is the location. Walking distance to downtown Kyoto - Nishiki Market, Pontocho Alley, Gion District are few minutes walk away. Also near train stations. The hotel is tucked in an alley so it is quiet but at the same time near the main street which is lined with shops and restaurants.
