Bijuu - A Traditional Gion District Hotel with Designer Suites and City Views

Located in the historic Gion district, this 5-star Kyoto hotel features luxury suites with designer furniture and stone saunas. Each accommodation at Bijuu includes a spa bath integrated between the living room and bedroom, offering panoramic city and mountain views. The deluxe rooms come equipped with full kitchens, large closets, desks, and en-suite bathrooms. Rows of cherry trees line the windows, creating seasonal views in spring and autumn. Guest rooms feature air conditioning, flat-screen TVs, dining areas, and complimentary WiFi. The property sits 0.5 miles from Kennin-ji temple and 0.5 miles from Nishiki Market Shopping District. Key landmarks within 1.5 miles include Nijo Castle, Kyoto Imperial Palace, and Kyoto Tower, while eight restaurants serving Japanese cuisine operate within 0.5 miles of the property.

Pros

Stone saunas and spa baths in suites combine with designer furniture for a luxury bathing experience

Strategic location places guests within walking distance of eight authentic Japanese restaurants

Cherry tree views provide natural seasonal entertainment

Children under 12 stay free with existing bedding

Cons

Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine requires a 2.5 miles journey

Limited dining options within the hotel itself

“Bijuu occupies prime real estate in Gion, placing guests steps from its geisha culture and Pontocho's dining scene. The hotel distinguishes itself with spacious, modern self-catering accommodations, including deluxe rooms with kitchens and designer decor. I particularly note the unique fifth-floor suites, featuring private saunas and spa baths, alongside temporary art exhibitions that enhance the cultural immersion.”
