“The essence of traditional Japanese hospitality is captured here, with an incredibly thoughtful host, Hiro, leading the way. Close proximity to Gion's alluring lantern-lit alleyways and temples means you're instantly immersed in Kyoto's charm. What stands out is how authenticity is carefully balanced with modern comfort, making it a memorable home base.”
