Located in Gion, the country's most renowned geisha district, this 4-star Kyoto hotel occupies a modern 7-story beige building just 3 minutes from Sanjo Subway Station. The Nisshokan Shoshintei features Japanese-style rooms with tatami floors, private bathrooms, and traditional futon bedding that's laid out at night. Each air-conditioned accommodation includes a sitting area with armchairs, a coffee table, and zabuton floor cushions. The property serves Japanese set menu breakfasts and maintains a public bath, outdoor foot bath, and traditional garden for guests. Free Wi-Fi covers public areas, while amenities include Japanese yukata robes and complimentary toothbrush sets. A souvenir shop sells local goods on-site. The hotel stands within 0.5 miles of Nishiki Market, 1 mile from Yasaka Shrine and Kennin-ji Temple, and 1 mile from both the Kyoto Imperial Palace and Chion-in Temple.
