Historic Gion Location

Located in Kyoto's Higashiyama Ward, the property sits in Gion, the most well-known geisha district in Japan. It is 500 meters from Samurai Kembu Kyoto, a 15-minute walk from Yasaka Shrine and Kawaramachi, and 1.1 miles from Nishiki Market. Shoren-in Temple and Chion-in Temple are minutes away. Studio Shiki, offering period-style garment rentals, is nearby.

Essential Guest Services

Safety features include carbon monoxide detectors, fire extinguishers, smoke detectors, and a security system. Free toiletries such as toothbrushes, razors, and hair brushes are provided. The property does not accommodate cribs.

“The practical in-room amenities, like a washing machine and complete kitchenette, are particularly advantageous for extended visits. Situated in Gion, with many significant cultural sites within walking distance, it's a compelling choice for immersive exploration. However, some rooms facing the back may present noise and ventilation concerns, so I'd recommend requesting rooms away from potential disturbances.”
