“Aoi Hotel Kyoto understands its prime Gion location; stepping outside places you in the heart of Kyoto's traditional arts scene. I particularly like the themed rooms, a thoughtful touch for those wanting to immerse themselves in the city's history, such as the Hijikata Toshizo Concept Room. This hotel offers a luxurious and culturally rich experience.”
