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.
"This hotel was the nicest hotel I stayed in during my trip in Japan.
The location was great as it was a very short walk to the park, Kyoto aquarium and train museum. It was also right beside the station which is just one stop away from Kyoto station. There is also a combini within the hotel so I never needed to leave the hotel to get something from a combini.
The rooms were great as the room and bathroom were more spacious and very clean. The public bath was also very nice and not very crowded during my stay.
The staff were very helpful and welcoming which was nice. I ordered a luggage transfer from this hotel and the staff handled my luggage and paperwork for me which was great.
I did not try any dining options so I have no comments on that.
The hotel provided everything I would want and need in a hotel. Great rooms, price, amenities, location and service.
I have no complaints with my stay here and would recommend this hotel for anyone visiting the area."
"Was a great hotel. Room was a bit small and the worst part was the bed was too low to the floor so you couldn't store a suitcase closed underneath, I had to open mine and slide it under. Overall staff was nice and they helped ship our luggage to Osaka. Also directly across from the train was superior! So helpful and would stay here again."
