The property was perfect for our stay in Kyoto! It’s ideally situated in the Gion neighborhood, close to shrines, shopping, good food, and transit. The room was large and very clean, and the staff was very friendly! We wish we could’ve stayed longer!

Super clean and incredibly comfortable, this hotel is a gem! The apartment setup—complete with a kitchen, laundry, and separate toilet/shower/vanity—was fantastic, allowing us to move around independently without crowding each other. Its location is perfect, within walking distance of the famous Geisha district, Nikishi Marke

West Japan made a wonderful stay in Kyoto. If you’re staying long term, this is the place. The room itself came with all the amenities, including a full kitchen and the area was a 10 minute walk to Gion and other popular areas. The only con is I would say it is far from a train station, but most things were walkable or a taxi ride away.

A perfect spot to enjoy a week in Kyoto Near the Kiyomizu-dera ...on the main path that leads to the temples One block from bus stops and easy and fast to get a taxi I mostly walked , because Kyoto is very flat and has lovely pedestrian paths all over the city Great simple dining options nearby Having a full kitchen allowed me to eat in a lot A good family market was 2 blocks away The washer in the unit was great to get rid of my dirty clothes
