My favorite city in Japan. We rented bikes and it was easy to get around.. bikeable, walkable, and great easy metro. Loved the traditional feeling, women in kimonos, old world architecture. Food is fabulous. Bamboo forest and monkey forest are a must

You can experience traditional Japanese culture and cuisines. It will be an amazing trip. But I recommend avoiding days when there are many travelers. Otherwise, you might get caught up in the crowd and find it difficult to enjoy the sights properly.

It's the best city in the world. Where else do you have 1600 temples, hills on three sides--and the headquarters of Nintendo? Everything old, everything new and everything hybrid--holographic displays in the temple's autumn Light-Ups--surround one.

Kyoto is a must see destination - go early for the popular tourist attractions however! And seek out off the tourist trap restaurants - our favourite was Hassunba (find on Instagram). Let Ikada san the owner, treat you with his delicious set menu.

Charming city. Deserves title of one of the most beautiful cities in the world. People were very friendly but it is one of the few cities in the world we know where young people do not automatically stand up for senior citizens in public transport

Kyoto has plenty to see and do. Recommend to book ahead to get your restaurant choices, many booked up so can't take walk-ins. Recommend doing a day tour as many sights need public transport to get around and a tour makes this more efficient.

Beautiful city with many things to do and see. Shopping, temples & shrines, gardens and lots of restaurants. Easy even for an American with little Japanese to negotiate the subway system which was clean and on time. Taxis were easy to find.

I love Kyoto, having been coming here for 40 years on a yearly basis. The last couple of years the overcrowding has become more noticeable. But even with that if you avoid the major attractions you can make brilliant, uncrowded discoveries.
"Great location and beautiful hotel, staff and service very helpful with English speaking staff to help with communication. Roof top deck is very nice though it was hot good place for a beer. Fitness room and laundry services. Close to the main attractions in the Gion district so easy to wake up and head on over. Highly recommend staying here if you are in Kyoto. "
"We stayed at this hotel in both Kyoto & Osaka. Both have onsens but these felt superior. The massage chairs were also a great boost to what they offer and staff was great and helpful.
At a great location and a place I would absolutely return to when back in Kyoto.
Can be a bit busy during peak hours but still find times to take advantage of amenities. "
"Staff are very pleasant and helpful with directions. I will highly recommend this hotel to anyone. Location is across the Kyoto train/bus station. The room is spacious enough for 3 people with unlimited toiletries."
"Beautiful room with plenty of space, comfortable beds, and kind staff. We paid for breakfast and were given lunch as well. Plus, there is a nice club room with sofas, snacks, and non-alcoholic drinks as a free service of the hotel. The Onsen is lovely after a long day. Easy access to train stations and it’s easy to get around to all of the temples and shops. A nice Pilates and yoga facility is down the street. It was a posit e experience all anroind, and I would do it all over again. "
