Gion Yoshiima

Gion/Kiyomizu Temple Kyoto|0.13km from Shinbashi-dori
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

Kyoto Gion U-Bell Hotel
4.1/513 Reviews
Gion/Kiyomizu Temple
Very new and clean hotel. A distance to walk from Kyoto Kawaramachi Station. However, it is overflowing with tourists and there are many souvenirs that can be tasted, so it takes time. It is a distance to walk to Kodai Ji Temple in the middle of the night, and to walk to two years slope and three years slope in the early morning.

Gion/Kiyomizu Temple
Stayed at this hotel for one night, the location is great, very close to the main cherry blossom viewing spots. It's only a few kilometers from the hotel to Kyoto train station, so we took a taxi, which was 1300 yen one way. In addition, it is also very convenient to walk to other attractions from here. The service is good, the staff is very friendly, except that they don't speak English very well. The hotel is very clean and the rooms are a good size. This is a traditional Japanese hotel. The public baths are very clean. Our rate included breakfast in the communal area and dinner in the room. The food is varied and of good quality.

Gion/Kiyomizu Temple
A great experience! Traditional Japanese style, but privacy is particularly good, because a whole house is a room, there are no other guests, the courtyard is beautiful, the owner and the family are enthusiastic and enthusiastic. After checking out, they drove us to the next hotel. The owner's father should have a background in art. There is an antique art shop next door to the homestay. If you like, you can go to Taobao. Our meals are also superb, all cooked by the owner’s mother.

Gion/Kiyomizu Temple
The house is very spacious, clean and tidy. It is such a blessing to live in such a big house in Japan! Two bedrooms, a large living room, two large beds, four tatami mats, a washing machine with air-drying function, and a bath room. The fly in the ointment is that there is only one shower room and it is inconvenient for the family to take a bath. Everything else is good, but it's too hard to find. It was more than ten o’clock. According to Ctrip’s map, it’s not this house at all. I couldn’t find it for an hour by myself. Later, fortunately, I met an enthusiastic local person, a couple, and helped us find it together for an hour and communicated on various telephones. , I couldn’t find it when I searched the map. It turned out to be in the small alley behind where we were standing. Suggestion: At obvious turning points, hang up the signboard of the homestay. The map of Ctrip is wrong and needs to be corrected.
Kyoto Gion Hotel
4.5/539 Reviews
Gion/Kiyomizu Temple
Stayed for three nights. The hotel is very good, clean, tidy, warm and lovely. Although the house is small, it is well-equipped with all the necessary care supplies and facilities, and even has an air purifier lock box. However, the open windows are sealed and cannot be seen outside. The soundproofing is excellent. Even though it is so small, you can hardly hear the sound from next door. Unlike the four-star hotel where I stayed later, the soundproofing was average. Facilities: The setting is very reasonable. It looks ordinary at first glance but you will know it after using it. There is no extra charge for mineral water. Environment: You can walk to the surrounding Nisanban and Yasaka Shrine. There are many shops around and are convenient for life. The bus stop is Gion Station. You can also walk to the bustling business district Takashimaya.
