THE HOTEL HIGASHIYAMA KYOTO TOKYU, A Pan Pacific Hotel

"The hotel is near a touristy historic area. The hotel's location is not close to the train station, but they have an hourly hotel bus to the train station which takes about 20 minutes, depending on traffic. The hotel room is not very big but it's adequate. They don't have a proper door to the bathroom, the sink and counter are open to the main room but there is a thin sliding door. so the entrance corridor is also the bathroom sink and counter. I like that the toilet is in its own mini room, as is the shower. the toilet's light turns on automatically when you enter that mini room. There are some nice designs touches in the hotel, which added to our positive experience. Service is very good and helpful 👍. The hotel room has a lot of lights, but still it felt a bit dark in the room."

"**5-Star Review of Kyoto Homestay** Our recent stay at this charming homestay in Kyoto was nothing short of magical! Located just a 10-minute taxi ride from Kyoto Station, it offered the perfect blend of convenience and tranquility. The host was incredibly welcoming, making us feel right at home. The highlight was the traditional hotpot dinner, prepared with fresh, local ingredients. It was a delightful experience to enjoy such a unique meal in a cozy setting. The rooms were spacious and beautifully decorated, reflecting the rich culture of Kyoto. We loved the serene garden view from our window. Overall, this homestay exceeded our expectations and provided a memorable Kyoto experience. Highly recommended!"

Sakuraya・Eijo Kyoto Station Japanese Style Villa ★★★★
"The location is near to bus stops and train station which allowed us to take the bus / train conveniently to all places of interest. It is within a quiet neighbourhood. Convenient stores are within walking distance. Sleeping rooms are in upper floor. Difficult to bring large luggage upstairs. We did laundry and the washing facilities are well equipped. We reached early before check in time and the owner allowed us to keep all luggages inside so that we can continue our sightseeing 👍🏻 We had a broken luggage that needs to be thrown away but we didn’t know how to throw it since Japan has strict rules on garbage disposal. Luckily the owner was kind enough to help us 👍🏻"

Sakuraya・Touji Kyoto Station Japanese Style Villa ★★★★
"A very cozy little building, clean and tidy, very suitable for traveling with children. Downstairs is the functional area and upstairs is the rest area. The two rooms upstairs are all tatami mats, so you don’t have to worry about your children rolling out of bed. It’s so worry-free. It’s only a five- to six-minute walk to Toji Station and one stop to Kyoto Station. It’s very convenient to get some peace and quiet in the midst of the hustle and bustle. It's a pity that I couldn't take photos of any rooms with my baby, but I will choose this place next time I come to Kyoto! !"

Getting to & around Kyoto

No airport in Kyoto. Fly into ​Kansai (KIX) or ​Osaka Itami (ITM) – both about 1-1.5 hours out. Kansai gets most international flights; Itami is smaller and closer (good for local flights). Take the Haruka Express train to Kyoto Station for speed, or grab a cheaper highway bus.

Late arrival? A few ​airport hotels near Kansai (KIX) run shuttles, but it’s worth pushing to the Kyoto Station area.
