Gion Yoshiima

Higashiyama Kyoto|0.31km from Chugen-ji (Meyami jizo)
My final stop on my maiden voyage to Japan. Again, I will say, I could not have chosen a more perfect place to stay in Kyoto. Tomoko is the star of this show! Removed shoes immediately upon arrival, as my hostess, Tomoko, was cleaning the WHEELS of my luggage. She took me to my room, which was allll the way at the end of the ryokan and up the stairs. Poor thing had to lift my heavy heavy bag up the stairs and even though we could not fully communicate verbally, we laughed and laughed about how strong she is for 75 years old. Unbelievable! She showed me to my room. Loved the tatami mats, and the table and chair were set up for dinner en suite. We set a time for dinner and I decided to take a walk to the Yasaka Pagoda in the meantime. I visited the Yasaka shrine, followed by the exquisite and grandiose Yasaka pagoda and made it back just in time for dinner service in the room. Tomoko is seriously the most precious hostess I have ever had in all my travels. We could not really communicate, although she could speak a LITTLE English, while I can speak literally no Japanese other than hello and thank you, yet we just laughed and laughed every time she came into the room. She was so cute and obviously works so hard. It was so fantastic to spend time with her. Dinner was interesting and delicious. I loved the whole experience. After dinner, I was lucky enough to get a private tour and history lesson from the owner himself, Hiro, inside the small traditional tea house on site. Such a special treat to learn about the history and important of tea ceremonies in Japan! After which, I took a soak in the bath before heading out to explore Kyoto by night (at the advice of the owner, Hiro). The bath was just what I needed to refresh the spirit and get my second (or third) wind for the day. I walked and walked and walked and walked some more and found everything Hiro told me to look for. Kyoto is just as beautiful at night as it is in the daylight, if not more so. Pontocho Alley was fascinating and sooo cool! I got back to the ryokan, absolutely exhausted, just before midnight. I literally could not take one more step. I got to my room and Tomoko had changed the room over for sleeping. The table and chair were put away and the futon mattress and comforter were all ready and waiting for me in the beautifully dimly lit room. When I arrived, I noticed that Tomoko had left a little note wishing me good sleep, and a piece of fruit for a late night snack. Breakfast seemed to come way too quickly after my late night of exploring. But it was worth it to see Tomoko again and try all the interesting and delicious Japanese style breakfast items. I made sure to take a stroll through the on-site Zen garden, admiring the fountains, statues, and fauna. Everything just flows so well … so peaceful, yet so invigorating. I will do whatever it takes to come back to Kyoto again for a longer stay here at Yoshi-Ima Ryokan! Arigato to Hiro and Tomoko for being so wonderful to me durin

Spent four nights at this cute hotel in Gion. We arrived late to our hotel the night we got into Kyoto and the staff was very understanding and accommodating. English-speaking staff made check in and other tasks easy. Room is somewhat small which made it difficult to have our large luggage in the room, but we made it work. New clean towels every night delivered to the room. We were able to do some laundry as well as the hotel has coin laundry on site. Lots of free amenities for you if you forget or need something. One of our group members lost their bag on a train on the first night and the staff was so helpful to contact the train company to help us track down the bag. Additionally, the hotel provides luggage shipping which was super convenient for us as we were traveling to Tokyo next. Overall, a great hotel with value-added services at a great nightly rate!
Rinn Gion Kenninji

We stayed at Rinn Gion Yasaka which was great. But Rinn Gion Kenningi was even better. This is located at the quite part of Kyoto but is very near the Dunguri and Shijo bridges. Crossing these bridges leads you to the tourist areas where there lots and lots of restaurants and the shopping areas. Crossing the Donguri bridges also leads to the Kawaramachi underground station near the Mc Donald's. This is the station if you want to go to Osaka which is just less than an hour for 400 Yen. So the Rinn Gion Kenningi is really perfect in location. Besides this, the hotel room that we stayed in was quite big and so private as thus was located in another building and we had the whole floor to ourselves.

Stayed in Kyoto for three days and two nights and stayed at this hotel without fuss. Generally speaking, it is quite satisfactory. It is the place where I settled. I visited the attractions during the day. Now it seems that the traffic is very convenient.

Excellent value for money small hotel 😄 microwave oven, tableware, coffee machine in the room, but also intimately prepared detergent. There is also a coffee machine in the living room on the first floor, which can be drunk by yourself. The location is very good, Huajian Road Branch, quiet in the middle of noisy, add a collection, recommend to friends! Next time I want to try other hotels in the Rinn series.
Kyoto Gion U-Bell Hotel

Higashiyama
Very new and clean hotel. A distance to walk from Kyoto Kawaramachi Station. However, it is overflowing with tourists and there are many souvenirs that can be tasted, so it takes time. It is a distance to walk to Kodai Ji Temple in the middle of the night, and to walk to two years slope and three years slope in the early morning.
