Kyoto Gion Hotel - A modern hotel in the historic Gion district with convenient access to geisha quarters and cultural landmarks

Located in the Higashiyama Ward's Gion district, this 4-star Kyoto hotel stands 1312.3 ft from Gion Shijo Station and 1640.4 ft from Yasaka Shrine. Each room features air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, safety deposit box, and an electric kettle, with some units including traditional tatami flooring. Private bathrooms come equipped with a bath, shower, bidet, hairdryer, and complimentary toiletries. The Kyoto Gion Hotel's position places guests 1 mile from Kiyomizu-dera Temple, Nishiki Market, and Heian Shrine, while Nanzen-ji and Sanjusangendo Temple are also within 1 mile. Studio Shiki, offering period-style garment rentals for men, women, and children, operates in the vicinity. Several dining establishments surround the property, including Ramen Muraji, Saryo Tsujiri Gion Honten, and Meat Kappo Bar Gyugyu, all within 1640.4 ft.

Pros

Located in Japan's most renowned geisha district

Multiple restaurants within 300-1640.4 ft, including traditional Japanese venues

Direct access to period costume rental facilities

Walking distance to major cultural sites and transportation

Cons

28.5 miles from Itami Airport

No on-site restaurant facilities

“In my opinion, its location in the heart of Gion provides an authentic Kyoto experience, placing guests steps away from key cultural attractions and a short walk from the subway. The rooms offer a comfortable respite, especially appreciated after exploring the area's lively streets and nearby temples. I think that the combination of a traditional setting with practical amenities, like in-room clothes drying, enhances the overall appeal for travelers seeking both convenience and immersion.”

I loved the tatami mats and elevated sleeping area. The separate toilet and bath were a plus.

The shower had plenty of space. The separate toilet was great. The dryer setting really helped with our laundry.

The laundry room was a good addition, with detergent-dispensing washer/dryers. The machines take 4x 100y coins.
