What an absolute pleasure to stay here! The staff was so helpful! We were in a quiet area near the Gion district. Walkable to most things including subway. Beautiful rooms and hotel.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel in Kyoto. The property was exceptionally clean and very well maintained, and everything felt modern and comfortable. The staff truly stood out throughout our visit — everyone was extremely polite, professional, and genuinely helpful with recommendations, directions, and any requests we had. The location was also very convenient for exploring Kyoto’s main attractions, with easy access to temples, shopping areas, restaurants, and public transportation. Despite being centrally located, the hotel was surprisingly quiet at night, which made it very relaxing after busy sightseeing days. Breakfast each morning was excellent, with a great variety of fresh and high-quality options. Overall, this hotel exceeded our expectations, and we would absolutely stay here again on our next trip to Kyoto.

Best stay of our whole trip. Tons of room in the hotels and a beautifully displayed Kyoto style breakfast at a customized time each morning. Staff was always friendly and cordial. We will be looking forward to our next stay here when we are in the area again! 10/10 would highly recommend

This hotel is AMAZING!!!! By far the best hotel we had during our stay in Japan. The hotel was very clean. The staff are so sweet and polite. Everything you need is provided by the hotel. 100% recommend. I can't wait to return to this hotel.

AKEKURE Kyoto Shirakawa — 10/10. Full stop. There are hotels that get everything right. And then there’s AKEKURE. This nine-room boutique opened in December 2025 and it already feels like it’s been here forever — like it was always supposed to exist exactly where it does, tucked among willow trees along a small river in one of Kyoto’s most quietly beautiful neighborhoods. We arrived at 3pm. The exterior stopped us before we even walked in. The facade is considered and deliberate — the kind of design that tells you immediately someone cared deeply about every decision made here. The security doors opened, the staff came forward, and from that moment the experience never dipped below exceptional. The team spoke English fluently, which mattered for our family, but more than the language — they were warm without being performative. Professional without being stiff. They walked us to our room, explained every amenity, and because I mentioned I have a background in architecture, they took the time to walk me through specific design decisions made during construction. That kind of attentiveness isn’t trained. It’s culture. The room itself. Surrounded by willow trees. A small river visible from the window. Kyoto quiet in a way that Tokyo simply isn’t. Breakfast is Japanese-style Kyoto cuisine prepared under the supervision of HANAKAGAMI. It is not a breakfast. It is an experience with all five senses engaged simultaneously. Every dish intentional, every ingredient considered. The lob

FIVE STARS! This was by far the best hotel in all of our Japan trip. The staff was excellent and super nice! The room was super spacious and the bathroom was huge - we loved the shower. They also had some snacks and water available all the time as compliments and were refilled daily. Location was also great, with Kyotos Gion District for dinning and largest Temples all within a short walk.

The location was amazing, right beside a river and walking distance from the center of Gion. The staff were extremely professional and attentive. The room was beautiful, with elegant modernized ryokan-style decor and a huge Japanese bath. A very new luxury property, with all the little details such as touchless elevator buttons. Definitely coming back.

Clean roof! Great staff, so kind and hospitable, quiet location better than expected

This hotel was so special! From the rooms, to the products in the rooms, the wonderful snacks and drinks available all highly curated for your enjoyment. The Cyprus deep bathtub was wonderful after a long day of walking. The rooms are high end, clean and beautifully designedl. The Japanese breakfasts were amazing. The staff was incredible and we would love to stay there again.

Room was very nice with lots of amenities. The staff were verfy welcoming and accomodating. I fell ill and they helped me find a pharmacy and doctor
