Arguably the best room that I have ever stayed at. Being a part of the Chion-in Temple, we had an opportunity to participate in the daily morning prayer in the main temple. Very close to the Tetsugaku no Michi (Philosopher's Path) and on the other end, Pontocho Alley.

This is an unusual property as it is located adjacent to a Buddhist temple. The staff at the hotel honor the spirit of the temple. The breakfasts were extraordinary and embracing quality and healthfulness. The customer service was all you could ask for. I had the opportunity to join a Buddhist ceremony in the temple early in the morning the day after arrival. it was an experience I will never forget. The hot bath in the beautiful bath pool was wonderful. The staff are kind and responsive, and the facilities beautiful. If you stay here, you will never forget what a wonderful experience you have had.

Comfortable, quiet and close to some lovely parts of Kyoto. There is an 11pm curfew to get into the building though so not idea if you want to stay out past 11pm. The parking was confusing but once we knew where it was it was great. Very convenient and plenty of parking spaces. It is part of the Buddhist temple so offers a unique morning ceremony if that’s of interest. Staff are friendly and helpful.

Amazing to be able to stay at this famous temple and attend an early morning Buddhist service. The hotel was extremely clean, with a simple onsen, and a great location to explore the east side of Kyoto.
