Gion Elite Terrace, hotel in Kyoto

Located in Kyoto, less than 1 km from Gion Shijo Station, Gion Elite Terrace provides accommodation with a shared lounge, private parking, a terrace and a restaurant.

We were lucky enough to have the family suite with sauna and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The rooms were clean, beds comfortable and we loved the complimentary drinks downstairs, which was much appreciated in the early September heat. The best thing was that it was located within minutes of a bus stop and walking distance to Gion, Sannenzaka and Ninezaka and were always able to find a place to eat nearby.

The Gate Hotel Kyoto Takasegawa by Hulic, hotel in Kyoto

The Gate Hotel Kyoto Takasegawa by Hulic features a restaurant, fitness centre, a bar and shared lounge in Kyoto.

Loved this brand new hotel, very stylish. Perfect location steps away from Pontocho alley and Gyon. Restaurant on top floor where breakfast/lunch/dinner is served with great veiws and fabulous terrace next to the bar. You can have your meal on the terrace, too. There is an option for fixed dinner with unlimited wine for a very reasonable price. A la carte was also pretty good. It was nice to hang out in their lounge with complimentary little snacks and wine/beer/soft drinks/tea 5-10pm after a day out!

Chion-in Temple

This massive temple may not have the star quality of Kinkaku-ji, Fushimi Inari or Kiyomizu-dera, but it abounds with charm. Head down at nightfall to see it in all its illuminated glory, with lit-up pathways flanked by pine trees, and pagodas giving off an ethereal glow. If you’re into handicrafts markets, make sure to visit on the 15th of the month.

    The main gate is incredible.

    The main gate is incredible. As soon as you see it, the sheer height of it will make you say "wow!". The main building was closed for renovation, but it was nice to walk around the grounds and admire the buildings. The main gate and steps really made it for me, though.
