Set just 2.5 km from Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine, Zen Kyoto Apartment Hotel features accommodation in Kyoto with access to a terrace, a bar, as well as a concierge service. Complimentary WiFi is offered throughout the property and private parking is available on site. The accommodation offers a lift, full-day security and luggage storage for guests.

The property is really really close to train station, 2-3 minute walk. It is bigger than all other Japan accommodation I’ve been to, newly built so all amenities, equipment and appliances are new. There’s also a comprehensive English version on how to use all equipment so everything was so easy to use. Big bed, lounge, walk in dresser, fridge, microwave, stove and laundry all works well. They even have a documented staff recos on restaurants, etc. Toiletries/towels/detergent are available near lobby if you need more. Everything about this hotel was well thought of and I truly appreciated every detail. 100% highly recommended!

Located in Kyoto, 1.1 km from Nijo Castle and 1.7 km from the centre, Rinn Shiki Juraku provides air-conditioned accommodation with free WiFi, and a garden. This 4-star holiday home offers full-day security and luggage storage space. Guests can enjoy quiet street views.

Absolutely loved the character and charm of the hotel, the facilities, the lounge area for breakfast/evening drinks, ease of use of the washer/dryer that was there. The hotel was in a quiet residential section of Kyoto, yet access to Nijo Castle, the Imperial Palace and downtown Kyoto was very easy and within a 15 minute walk. Access to the train stations and Uber/Taxi's were equally easy. Amazing local restaurants within walking distance of the Hotel - highly recommend Daigan around the corner for an amazing sushi with an engaging/entertaining/welcoming chef.

Among the facilities at this property are full-day security and luggage storage space, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The ryokan features family rooms.

Cannot recommend Gion Kyoka enough. Actually, I'd prefer to give a negative review to prevent everyone from booking this lovely ryokan in the most amazing location in Gion Kyoto. Their team went above and beyond to make arrangements for our party at temples like Saiho-ji. Thank you Miyata-san and the rest of your staff for making our stay exceptional. I hope to visit again soon.

    We had a great stay at Ryoso Chatani. The beautiful village of Ohara is just an hour by bus from Kyoto. We were immediately warmly welcomed by the owners of the hotel. Everything was really great and very clean. The onsen was lovely too. A very relaxing stay. I would definitely recommend this stay during your trip to Japan. Many thanks to the owners who made us feel completely at home.

    Everything about the property was divine! The apartment has everything you could possibly need for a holiday home and all the appliances and fittings are new and great quality. My family stayed in one of the two bedroom apartments and it felt very spacious. The biggest bonus was having two toilets! Such a luxury!

    Its a beautiful villa with an amazing traditional Japanese garden. The villa means Communicate from the heart, and Yu-san exemplified that with his kind and generous ways, and attentiveness to our requests and ideas for us. We decided to stay in the 2nd day. It was such a pleasure to enjoy and appreciate the calmness and groundedness of the space. Thank you for the wonderful stay and the experience of this warm and very comfortable villa.

    Great location. The Villa is also well equipped with home-living essentials and this made our stay there very comfortable. We had to pay to use the washing machine though. It was coin-operated. Upon our first meeting, the host provided us with a lot of useful information regarding sightseeing and the nearby amenities. We really appreciated that. Thank you.
