"Our stay here was the highlight of a three week vacation in Japan. It is an unique, deep immersion into Japan culture and hospitality while still being comfortable for non-Japanese. The tranquility and quality of the environment, the accommodations, and the food were exceptional. The staff were friendly, helpful, and made us feel very welcome. They savored their role as guides into the culture and traditions that they offered. While it was a very traditional experience, the facilities...

Top Kawai Shrine Hotel Reviews

Cross Hotel Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"The room was very clean. The staff were great. You have to pay for laundry services. One thing I don’t like is that you have to have a Japanese phone number to have the complimentary bike but as a traveller, no one will have Japanese phone number."

Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Sanjo PREMIER

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic hotel in a great location with amazing staff. Overall, it was a superb stay and the onsen is wonderful after a long day of touring My favorite hotel so far in Japan. Don’t hesitate book it"

Oakwood Hotel Oike Kyoto

The Royal Park Hotel Kyoto Sanjo

8/10 Good

"Très bon emplacement, et très bon rapport qualité prix"

SOLARIA Nishitetsu Hotel Kyoto Premier

8/10 Good

"This property was walking distance to a bunch of markets such as Nishiki, Termachi, etc. There are lots to do around the area and very close to Kamo river with restaurants. I got sick when I got to Kyoto so the staff gave me English speaking medical clinics around the area. The property is nice and has laundry downstairs but there is a long wait time as everyone is trying to wash/dry their clothes. The breakfast is decent even though it is a bit pricey for Japan I would say. But there are variety of food. We also upgraded our room upon check in to have more space and they were able to accommodate pretty quickly."

Agora Place Kyoto Nijo
