“In my opinion, this traditional hotel places you perfectly for exploring Gion's cultural treasures, including the nearby Yasaka Shrine. It seems the personalized Kyoto-style meals shine, along with the authentic tatami and futon experience. Despite its traditional charm, some may find the rooms slightly dated, and the curfew might not suit all schedules.”
