Kyoto Granbell Hotel

Higashiyama
We booked the hotel as we thought the location was great and the rooms looked fine. Service was good. They were accommodating to a room change request(especially during a busy season)- Thank you Miss Kyu! We also asked for air filter as the room was a little stuffy- Thank you Jay Tanaka! The rooms are clean, yet much tighter than normal(even compared to other Japanese hotel groups). The bathrooms were nice and updated and the sheets/covers/towels were high-end. I would not stay here if you are traveling with more than 2 people in a room, I think the suites even would be a challenge with suitcases unpacked. You cant get a better location, so close to the markets, pontocho alley, shopping, Gaesha watching, etc. and central location to all the temples. Everything is a 5-10 minute walk, except the temples(obviously). Would recommend for a solo traveler or young couple who likes boutique hotels, and plans on spending a lot of time site seeing nearby. We did not have drinks at the bar(weird hours) or have their breakfast(looked good though when walking past).

Gion Misen

Higashiyama
Earlier this month, I stayed at Gion Misen and loved the experience. There are many new hotels in the city but Gion Misen stands out and exceeded expectations. The location is superb, on quiet and historic Shimnomzen Street, nestled among beautifully preserved wooden machiya townhouses, antique shops, galleries, and small restaurants. The staff is kind and helpful. The included breakfast was ample and delicious, including good coffee! The beautifully designed, contemporary Japanese rooms have comfortable beds, plenty of electrical outlets and good lighting. Gion Misen is ideally situated for excursions to the beautiful surrounding neighborhoods and the heart of downtown Kyoto on foot and by short taxi rides to all corners of this magnificent city. Thank you for making me feel so welcome.
Hotel Alza Kyoto
4.7/553 Reviews
Higashiyama
This was by far our favorite hotel in our 2 weeks in Japan. They were very nice and helpful, let us check in early, and made luggage forwarding easy. Plus, the room had lots of great amenities, including a balcony and an incredible tub (the microbubbles were a life saver after a long day of walking!) The face masks were a nice bonus, since my skin did not take to Japan very well. And breakfast was amazing, and served in the room, every morning. On top of all that, the location is amazing: overlooking the river, extremely close to Pontocho, only a few blocks from a major train station.

A great experience! Traditional Japanese style, but privacy is particularly good, because a whole house is a room, there are no other guests, the courtyard is beautiful, the owner and the family are enthusiastic and enthusiastic. After checking out, they drove us to the next hotel. The owner's father should have a background in art. There is an antique art shop next door to the homestay. If you like, you can go to Taobao. Our meals are also superb, all cooked by the owner’s mother.

As the former imperial capital of Japan, Kyoto effortlessly blends the old with the new. This city in the Kansai region is renowned for its well-preserved temples, stunning gardens, traditional teahouses, and the historic geisha district of Gion.

Tips for Travelling to Kyoto

Travelers usually fly into Kansai International Airport or Osaka Itami Airport before making their way to Kyoto by train or bus. The city has an efficient network of buses and trains, including a subway system.

The official currency is the Japanese Yen (JPY). Credit cards are accepted in many places, but cash is still commonly used. Japanese is the primary language spoken, though English is understood in many tourist areas.

Popular Attractions in Kyoto

Kyoto is home to an array of UNESCO World Heritage Sites including Kinkaku-ji (Golden Pavilion), Fushimi Inari Taisha, and Kiyomizu-dera Temple. Wander around the Arashiyama Bamboo Grove, or take a walk through the historic streets of Gion.

Don't forget to visit Nijo Castle and the Philosopher's Path, especially during cherry blossom season.

Weather, Best Time to Visit, and What to Wear

Kyoto experiences four distinct seasons: humid summers, chilly winters, and mild springs and autumns. The city is particularly popular during spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) when cherry blossoms and autumn leaves transform the landscape.
