“In Gion, this property stands out not for excessive flash but for sincere hospitality. The meticulously prepared Kyoto-style meals served in traditional settings create an immersive cultural experience, and while not the fanciest, the rooms are well-maintained. It's the heartfelt service and prime location near Yasaka Shrine that make it a worthwhile base for exploring Kyoto.”
