Our room was at the 3F of the annex with a washing machine. Very spacious for our family of 4 (room is for 6 pax). Situated in a quiet neighborhood close to many attractions. Train station is around 0.5km away, may be difficult to walk (esp with luggages) if raining but if it isn't, it is ok.

The room was beautiful, very clean and packed with useful amenities. Also quite spacious, which is something other hotels in our stay in Japan lacked. Amazing location right near a beautiful shopping district and a stones throw from the Metro. Staff were so helpful and friendly, handing us towels to dry off as we arrived in rainy weather and allowing us to opt for a late check out to accommodate our late flight. Wonderful stay, highly recommend.

Kinkaku-ji Temple

This Zen Buddhist temple is named after its gleaming centrepiece, the Kinkaku-ji pavilion. This three-tiered tower is coated in gold foil, which gives off a luxuriant gleam amongst the backdrop of pine trees. To see Kinkaku-ji at its radiant best, stroll around the pond at sunset, when the horizon’s glow illuminates the gold in the twilight.

    Beautiful and in the middle of a pond surrounded by a garden. Can't say it was serene because there were many people there even early in the morning, but there were some moments when I could feel solitude and the beauty

    If you have seen its photo on the net then you have seen this temple. Its location is far from public transportation and only taxi or city bus access which makes it a slog to get there for little reward. I avoid taking tours there and often recommend people not to waste half a day going there and back

    Kinkaku-ji Temple, also known as the Golden Pavilion, is one of the most iconic landmarks in Kyoto, Japan. It is a Zen Buddhist temple that is covered in gold leaf, and it is located on a picturesque lake. I visited Kinkaku-ji Temple recently, and I was absolutely blown away. The temple is even more beautiful than I imagined. The gold leaf gleams in the sunlight, and the reflection in the lake is simply stunning. I also enjoyed walking around the temple grounds. The gardens are well-maintained and there are a number of other interesting buildings and exhibits to see. Overall, I had a wonderful time at Kinkaku-ji Temple. It is a must-see for anyone visiting Kyoto. Here is a short review of Kinkaku-ji Temple: Kinkaku-ji Temple is a stunning and iconic landmark in Kyoto. The gold leaf gleams in the sunlight, and the reflection in the lake is simply breathtaking. The temple grounds are also beautiful and well-maintained. I highly recommend a visit to Kinkaku-ji Temple if you are looking for a beautiful and memorable experience in Kyoto.

    The most touristy stop in Kyoto that felt more like an amusement park than a temple or shrine. However, the shrine is so stunning that it's hard to complain. Don't expect much more out of this location than a few great photos of a stunning temple.

    Try to go early or on a rainy day, otherwise you have to wait in long lines to take a photo, especially if it's sunny, because literally everyone and their dog visits there. But it truly is stunning and beautiful.

    If you can visit in the moths of May/June, you'll be able to see the temple with nice weather and beautiful skies. Also, if you arrive in the morning, you'll be able to have great places to take pictures for yourself.
