Gion Yoshiima

Gion/Kiyomizu Temple Kyoto|0.32km from Gion-Shijo Station
My final stop on my maiden voyage to Japan. Again, I will say, I could not have chosen a more perfect place to stay in Kyoto. Tomoko is the star of this show! Removed shoes immediately upon arrival, as my hostess, Tomoko, was cleaning the WHEELS of my luggage. She took me to my room, which was allll the way at the end of the ryokan and up the stairs. Poor thing had to lift my heavy heavy bag up the stairs and even though we could not fully communicate verbally, we laughed and laughed about how strong she is for 75 years old. Unbelievable! She showed me to my room. Loved the tatami mats, and the table and chair were set up for dinner en suite. We set a time for dinner and I decided to take a walk to the Yasaka Pagoda in the meantime. I visited the Yasaka shrine, followed by the exquisite and grandiose Yasaka pagoda and made it back just in time for dinner service in the room. Tomoko is seriously the most precious hostess I have ever had in all my travels. We could not really communicate, although she could speak a LITTLE English, while I can speak literally no Japanese other than hello and thank you, yet we just laughed and laughed every time she came into the room. She was so cute and obviously works so hard. It was so fantastic to spend time with her. Dinner was interesting and delicious. I loved the whole experience. After dinner, I was lucky enough to get a private tour and history lesson from the owner himself, Hiro, inside the small traditional tea house on site. Such a special treat to learn about the history and important of tea ceremonies in Japan! After which, I took a soak in the bath before heading out to explore Kyoto by night (at the advice of the owner, Hiro). The bath was just what I needed to refresh the spirit and get my second (or third) wind for the day. I walked and walked and walked and walked some more and found everything Hiro told me to look for. Kyoto is just as beautiful at night as it is in the daylight, if not more so. Pontocho Alley was fascinating and sooo cool! I got back to the ryokan, absolutely exhausted, just before midnight. I literally could not take one more step. I got to my room and Tomoko had changed the room over for sleeping. The table and chair were put away and the futon mattress and comforter were all ready and waiting for me in the beautifully dimly lit room. When I arrived, I noticed that Tomoko had left a little note wishing me good sleep, and a piece of fruit for a late night snack. Breakfast seemed to come way too quickly after my late night of exploring. But it was worth it to see Tomoko again and try all the interesting and delicious Japanese style breakfast items. I made sure to take a stroll through the on-site Zen garden, admiring the fountains, statues, and fauna. Everything just flows so well … so peaceful, yet so invigorating. I will do whatever it takes to come back to Kyoto again for a longer stay here at Yoshi-Ima Ryokan! Arigato to Hiro and Tomoko for being so wonderful to me durin

Gion/Kiyomizu Temple
We booked the hotel as we thought the location was great and the rooms looked fine. Service was good. They were accommodating to a room change request(especially during a busy season)- Thank you Miss Kyu! We also asked for air filter as the room was a little stuffy- Thank you Jay Tanaka! The rooms are clean, yet much tighter than normal(even compared to other Japanese hotel groups). The bathrooms were nice and updated and the sheets/covers/towels were high-end. I would not stay here if you are traveling with more than 2 people in a room, I think the suites even would be a challenge with suitcases unpacked. You cant get a better location, so close to the markets, pontocho alley, shopping, Gaesha watching, etc. and central location to all the temples. Everything is a 5-10 minute walk, except the temples(obviously). Would recommend for a solo traveler or young couple who likes boutique hotels, and plans on spending a lot of time site seeing nearby. We did not have drinks at the bar(weird hours) or have their breakfast(looked good though when walking past).
GOOD NATURE HOTEL KYOTO

Kawaramachi
One of the best hotels we have stayed in ever! Absolutely stunning design of hotel from Outside to in, layout, attention to detail, all made from natural materials. Location was great, less than 10 min taxi to Kyoto Station, handy for the rainy days we had and heavy suitcases too! There’s even a shop downstairs selling their own brands, unfortunately we didn’t have the time to check it out, but from trying their teas in the room provided, I can tell their products are great! Staff were polite and very helpful. We were even upgraded to a room with a balcony! What a treat. Will absolutely stay here again! Highly recommend!
THE GATE HOTEL KYOTO TAKASEGAWA by HULIC
4.7/5322 Reviews
Kawaramachi
The location is excellent and right in the downtown of Kyoto but not in the front street which will be too crowded and noisy, still there were some noisy from the restaurants and bar nearby which still played loud music even after 12:00AM, so not ideal for those people who needs total silence to sleep. This is probably the necessary evil when live in the downtown hotel, but the hotel is already in the back alley so felt a bit better. Cannot consider the service top quality since the hotel front desk is located at 8th floor, and there is only one person tending the luggage at ground level till 6PM, so no service can be offered at ground level, this is the part can improve since some of the high floor hotel do have ground floor service crew unless in a big commercial building complex. The room is nicely decorated and everything feels new, no complaint about the room. Although the breakfast is a bit disappointed given the very limited selection of foods and Japanese style breakfast can only offer limited number (25 serving per day?), this part can definitely make some improvement, at least inform the guest about the limited number so we can book in advance.

Gion/Kiyomizu Temple
Stayed in Kyoto for three days and two nights and stayed at this hotel without fuss. Generally speaking, it is quite satisfactory. It is the place where I settled. I visited the attractions during the day. Now it seems that the traffic is very convenient.
