Hotels near Eikan-do Zenrin-ji Temple, Kyoto

Service, room, Japanese breakfast and dinner were excellent. My wife mentioned that it was my birthday and I was left a very sweet message in my room. We purposely chose this location to be away from the more busy areas of Kyoto. Logistically, it worked perfect. There is a grocery store across the street. Taxis were easy and convenient and we were also able to walk to the Philosopher’s Path and other areas easily.

We booked junior suite (King), we are super happy. The price is high for this room type, but it is super comfy, very clean and very spacious. Breakfast is excellent and all the staffs are one of the best staffs in Japan (based on what we have experienced). Location is great, near many historical sites e.g. Nanzenji and Eikando temples (7 min walking distance). We will definitely will come back to this hotel and Kyoto again 🥰.

Very nice staff, good location, perfect room everything was clean, amazing SPA

I truy loved everything about the place - especially as it was within the Chion-in Temple area and was very close to the other temples. Service was excellent and the experience of starting the day with meditation was amazing.

Basicly everything. Staff was incredibly helpful. Breakfast was amazing. Rooms were well designed and very clean as its supposed to be.

Perfect hotel with amazing location! Really best location close to all important attractions in Kyoto. The service is kind and helpful and the room is bigger than usual in Japan. The hotel is perfectly clean and smell good. Bed, pillows and linens were super comfortable. On our next visit we will choose this hotel again.

Staff and the facility amazing hotel

Tadashi and Yuki were extremely attentive, gentle, and patient. The room was very clean, and the nearby temple was an incredible surprise that truly amazed me. It’s a pity that we only stayed for one night, but the experience was wonderful. Highly recommended.

Nishimura-san and Yuki-san are a delightful couple, great to ralk with (Nishimura-san dpes well with English, Yuki-San is learning) and Nishimura-san gave us very helpful map and directions to the house as well as alternate routes with prices. In the house, there were many helpful explanations on how to use various appliances with pictures, making the stay easy. What impresses me the most was when we were approaching the house, Nishimura-san was outside waiting to show where it was and even carried our bags up to the second floor. The stay couldn't have better and I only regret we couldn't book an extra day

The property was very neat and clean. The rooms were tidy and well maintained. As I have some work for nearby, the location was good and met my expectation,

This was our favorite place we stayed on our trip. Material is a great little boutique hotel with lots of charm. By Japan Standards our room was actually fairly large and had a great industrial mixed with Japanese traditional feel to it. Despite facing a major road, road noise was minimal, the location was a short walk from the nearest subway station and was comparatively short walks from many of the top tourist locations in the city. We walk a lot on trips in general (approximately 10 miles a day on average) so of course this is all relative. Our room was a 3rd floor walk up so it probably wouldn't be ideal for those with mobility issues. We ate at Detail ramen, the restaurant that shares the ground floor with the hotel, twice on during our stay and were quite happy with the meals we had! Be sure to look at their hours if you want to make that a part of your stay and keep in mind that the restaurant is cash only and their ticket ordering machine only accepts the older bills (at least at the time of writing this). Overall the hotel staff were very friendly and patient with us when we needed to use google translate for the few things language barrier got in the way of. The premises was quiet and just generally really lovely. It was the only hotel we stayed in during our trip to Japan that we actually felt excited about spending time in. Because we found the room so pleasant we ended up changing around our itinerary a bit to get up early and go out to see and photograph sites before sunrise, come back to the hotel for a mid day rest and nap before going out in the afternoon to evening for more site seeing or shopping. We also spent a couple evenings enjoying some drinks we purchased at the Lawsons about a block away on the rooftop while watching the sun set, talking and reconnecting. For the right kind of traveler this place is an absolute gem in balance between affordability, comfort, and location.

Pretty much we liked everything except:

Location, just a stone throw from the tube, but Ina very quiet and calm area. This does not mean that everything else was fantastic, but this was the cherry on of the cake.

This place is a jewel. We stayed in a nine different cities, and this one was our favorite. absolutely beautiful. I don’t think they have enough picture to describe it on the website.

Perfect hotel that is attentive to the needs of the guests.

Location. Spacious room. Good support from staff.

The rooms are really sizable for the city and price, with high ceilings and lots if light!

This hotel is exceptional! Staff is very professional and friendly. Also breakfast was wonderful. Highly recommend!

From start to finish the staff were attentive and please. We loved the Japanese breakfast and the wine and beer in the lounge in the evenings, which we enjoyed before going out for dinner.
