Kizashi The Suite
5/51 Reviews

Kizashi The Suite

Higashiyama Kyoto|0.13km from Gion
First review. This hotel is not cheap in Kyoto, but there are no reviews. I guess not many Chinese people stay there. I stayed in a lot of big hotels in Kyoto with the intention of trying it out, because there are few hotels in Kyoto that match the price and quality. The opposite is true, you get what you pay for. So, I discovered a new treasure hotel. The appearance is unprepossessing, the interior decoration is high-end, spacious and comfortable, and the supplies are also very good. There are few reviews. Ctrip has repeatedly sent invitations for first reviews, so I will write about it.

Onsen No Yado Gion Maisen Bettei by Yadoru Kyoto Hanare

Higashiyama Kyoto|0.37km from Gion
The house is very spacious, clean and tidy. It is such a blessing to live in such a big house in Japan! Two bedrooms, a large living room, two large beds, four tatami mats, a washing machine with air-drying function, and a bath room. The fly in the ointment is that there is only one shower room and it is inconvenient for the family to take a bath. Everything else is good, but it's too hard to find. It was more than ten o’clock. According to Ctrip’s map, it’s not this house at all. I couldn’t find it for an hour by myself. Later, fortunately, I met an enthusiastic local person, a couple, and helped us find it together for an hour and communicated on various telephones. , I couldn’t find it when I searched the map. It turned out to be in the small alley behind where we were standing. Suggestion: At obvious turning points, hang up the signboard of the homestay. The map of Ctrip is wrong and needs to be corrected.

Because we brought children, according to the hotel's regulations, we cannot live in a room in the old building. After arriving at the store, the staff showed us other room types and made replacements, which was very considerate.

CHION-IN WAJUN-KAIKAN

Higashiyama Kyoto|0.3km from Gion
This wonderful place is nothing like the rustic version we stayed at in Yudenaka. It is more like an upscale boutiqe hotel. Only 3 floors, but very well kept. Our room was one of the largest we experienced during the 2 weeks we were in Japan. We chose to decline the meal package as we expected we would be out during the dinner time, and did not want to commit to breakfast, as my wife is a very fussy eater. A public bath for men and a bath for women is located in the basement. Exceptionally clean and properly set up in the shower area and bath area,. I chose to take advantage of the bath each evening. It is so incredibly relaxing. The bath is not heated by thermal springs but whatever they use to heat the building. The front desk staff could not be more helpful during our stay. When a snowstorm hit Kyoto, it meant the shipping company that we chose to forward our large suitcases was no longer viable since the company cancelled all trips that day. When we got up the next morning we discovered that the taxi cab companies were not answering the phones that morning(due to snow and ice). The front desk looked at my wife and I with 4 suitcases, my cane and walker and somehow just knew that we couldnt possibly get to the Kyoto station using public transit. The tall, thin gentleman behind the desk, went outside and ran at his fastest speed, 3 blocks to find a idle taxi, ran back to us, still checking out, took all of our luggage outside to the waiting taxi, assisted with the loading, ensuring that we were safely inside and on our way before he went back inside, hopefully to have a well earned cup of tea. The service is outstanding, the meal to my eyes looked incredible. The rooms have ample space for luggage, fully stocked bathrooms, Yukatas for wearing to the bath and 2 bottles of water daily. They also include a small refrigerator. If I should be so fortunate to visit Japan again in my lifetime, this will be my must stay hotel. THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH CHION-IN WAJUN KAIKAN!!! EXCELLENT STAFF AND OUTSTANING SERVICE. THANK YOU SO MJCH FOR HELPING MAKE THIS DREAM VACATION SO SPECIAL!!!

Gion Shinmonso

Higashiyama Kyoto|0.35km from Gion
Stayed at this hotel for one night, the location is great, very close to the main cherry blossom viewing spots. It's only a few kilometers from the hotel to Kyoto train station, so we took a taxi, which was 1300 yen one way. In addition, it is also very convenient to walk to other attractions from here. The service is good, the staff is very friendly, except that they don't speak English very well. The hotel is very clean and the rooms are a good size. This is a traditional Japanese hotel. The public baths are very clean. Our rate included breakfast in the communal area and dinner in the room. The food is varied and of good quality.

Stayed here for 1 night, very satisfied. Checking in is quick, most of information needed already in the system, just touching the system screen to make sure your name and email etc, put the key card in, system generated your access keycard and printing out your room number. Staff guided us in the room and explained everything. Hotel is on the busy street, but our room is quite. 1000 yen per person for simple breakfast. Mainly bread, you need to make it yourself with bread maker, how to make your own bread- with japanese and english, plus a video too, so not too complicated.early morning 620am, hotel offers about 1 hour free tour, our guide tei chan is a beautiful young lady who has been great, learned some of history of Kyoto and couple of eateries. Earlier morning kyoto is very charming. Will recommend to friends coming to Kyoto for sure.
Yuzuya Ryokan

Yuzuya Ryokan

Higashiyama Kyoto|0.06km from Gion
It’s a prime location, right next to the Yasaka West Tower Gate. I think Google Maps lead me to a parking lot, so good to note. We got in early and checked in our bags to storage, and went to visit Nishiki Market and then Kiyomizu-dera before heading back around 3P. They asked me during checkin what times I wanted to eat and if I had any food preferences. I was pleasantly surprised by this as I was planning to give anything I couldn’t eat to my boyfriend, but they made a menu just for my food preference and it was ALL delicious! Highly recommend the dinner (and allocate 2,5 hours for it since it’s multiple courses) and then visit the public bath on your way back to your room to sleep off the best meal ever. Wear the Yukata to dinner. As we checked out, he was nice enough to walk my luggage down the stairs and even hailed us a taxi. GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE.
Gion Fukuzumi

Gion Fukuzumi

Higashiyama Kyoto|0.18km from Gion
Directly opposite the stunning Chion-In temple the Gio Fukuzumi Ryokan places you right in the heart of history. With Gion just a few minutes walk away and iconic sites like Heian Jingu or Kiomizu Dera less than a 29 min walk there are few Ryokan better placed. The ryokan itself is delightful. The staff (Especially Momoka) were phenomenally polite, warm and helpful and made our stay that much better. Personally welcomed and served dinner in our room by the Okami (owner/general manager) gave our stay that special touch. Momoka personally took care of our every need and had such a positive and engaging personality. The food for dinner and breakfast was well above average and would easily put good restaurants to shame. Finally the onsens (there are 2) were lovely. Men and women bathe separately and for our stay the onsen on the top floor was for female bathers while the one downstairs for men (for the morning it was the other way round) The Gion Fukuzumi Ryokan delivered on everything perfectly and I will 100% come back to stay again in the future.

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.
Gion Ryokan Karaku

Gion Ryokan Karaku

Higashiyama Kyoto|0.26km from Gion
Being in Gion is to be transported back in old Kyoto. There are a lot of small, quaint structures with narrow paved streets. Lots of famous temples, shrines, eateries and souvenirs shopping (omiyage). Went with a friend, our highlights all within walking distance (20 min max): * Shrines and temples galore - visit early or late to avoid rush hour * Geisha watching * Nanaya kimono rental (there’s a ton of other rental places too) Dressed up for the afternoon. Got great photo ops along the streets and on a rickshaw rental. * Kasagi-ya for traditional sweets (ohagi) and tea in a old wooden shop atmosphere * Ghibli Studio fans, there are two shops within easy walking distance If you want to be in the thick of Gion, Ryokan Karaku is a wonderful place to stay. It’s four stories with elevator access and a very professional staff. You can confidently walk around and drop off goodies as you shop or need to take a break. Breakfast and kaiseki dinners were included in our rate, although next time I’d opt out of it so I can try other places. The staff called for taxi service whenever we needed and they were there in 5-10min (although they like to plan ahead when possible, we were mostly spontaneous). There weren’t mobs of people being that Japan has recently opened up and we went shortly after Golden Week). It was a great, memorable stay!

I had a great night at this place with my friends and siblings. All the staff took good care of us and tried to communicate with us even though we don't speak much Japanese. They were friendly and made us feel welcome, doing lovely little touches like wiping the wheels of our suitcase when we came in. They took the time to teach us how to put on our yukata while we were questioning, and the room itself was just the right temperature and amenities. On the last day, they also gave us cute and functional wallets, which we still use even though we left Japan.

What needs to be improved: 1. The check-in address of the house and the address of the house are not the same place, and they are far apart; for tourists who do not understand Japanese, many problems are added. When we arrived that night, we couldn't find where to check in, which caused a lot of time delay; 2. We have made an appointment for the garbage cleaning service, but we went around and came back and found that the garbage was still piled up at home, and the service was bad; 3. About the facilities: The toilet and bathroom do not have heating facilities. I contacted for a long time and brought a heating facility. Shouldn't the room facilities be checked from time to time? 4. The overall feeling is very general. Friends who are more concerned about the above issues can consider carefully.
