Preparing the tea for the guests. Tea served here is matcha and not sencha which many are accustomed to outside Japan. It's more bitter and like sashimi an acquired taste.
In reality, the tea ceremony at Gion Corner is good for a first time experience. I don't recall the tea as exceptional nor the pastry. Perhaps because I was too engrossed in taking photos of the two pretty geishas!!!

When you factor in cost, this is the best hotel I've stayed at in a very long time. Great staff, great amenities, great location.

9/10 Wonderful! (1,910 reviews)
The room is clean, but the front office staff weren’t very friendly and they weren’t very accommodating. I felt that they did not care for foreigners. I saw that they were more gentle with Japanese customers more than foreigners. The breakfast buffet was OK. I feel like they didn’t stock up quickly.

Very clean. It’s in a central and convenient location to street markets and other good restaurants nearby including the 24/7 Seven Eleven that also has a great selection of foods. Very quiet. The washer/dryer is amazing. The hotel provides free toiletry and laundry detergent. Very quiet at night. Has filtered water station for guests and very helpful and knowledgeable staff.
