Gion Yoshiima

Gion/Kiyomizu Temple Kyoto|0.23km from Hiyoshido
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

Yoin hotel kyoto gion
4.3/524 Reviews
Gion/Kiyomizu Temple
Modern, clean, exceptionally well equipped rooms in a fantastic location. We spent 5 nights at this hotel and loved every minute. The facilities are spotless, the staff are lovely and it is within an easy walk of the best geisha spotting areas (we saw many), great shopping, beautiful alleys full of restaurants and bars and the train station. Highly recommend!!
Kyoto Gion Hotel
4.5/539 Reviews
Gion/Kiyomizu Temple
Stayed for three nights. The hotel is very good, clean, tidy, warm and lovely. Although the house is small, it is well-equipped with all the necessary care supplies and facilities, and even has an air purifier lock box. However, the open windows are sealed and cannot be seen outside. The soundproofing is excellent. Even though it is so small, you can hardly hear the sound from next door. Unlike the four-star hotel where I stayed later, the soundproofing was average. Facilities: The setting is very reasonable. It looks ordinary at first glance but you will know it after using it. There is no extra charge for mineral water. Environment: You can walk to the surrounding Nisanban and Yasaka Shrine. There are many shops around and are convenient for life. The bus stop is Gion Station. You can also walk to the bustling business district Takashimaya.
Kyoto Gion U-Bell Hotel
4.1/513 Reviews
Gion/Kiyomizu Temple
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.
Hostel Gion SORA
4.5/516 Reviews
Gion/Kiyomizu Temple
This is a guest house near Gion. The bed in the dormitory was small, but we had no problems. The water areas such as the toilet and bath are neat and clean. There is a bit of noise, probably because there is a snack bar with karaoke nearby.
Rinn Gion Yasakamae
4.6/51 Reviews
Gion/Kiyomizu Temple
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.
Kyoto Shirakawa Kiraku Inn
4.3/522 Reviews
Gion/Kiyomizu Temple
It is very quiet and convenient while in the middle of Kyoto Gion. It was able to stay comfortably. Because it is a guest house, the toilet and shower are joint, but I never met anyone during my stay and I was able to use it at my favorite time. Your husband is silent, but I think it is a good distance feeling without any discomfort.
