Ancient temples and peaceful gardens create a city where tradition thrives alongside modern life. Visit Fushimi Inari's orange gates at dawn, then explore Arashiyama's bamboo forest when local joggers have it mostly to themselves.
This is the most amazing little hotel we ever stayed at and we do travel a lot. Our superior room was big compared to the average Japanese hotel room and the bathroom was very modern. The staff are all incredibly friendly and helpful - special thanks to the chef who realised that we did not really eat much of our Japanese breakfast and made us a more European style breakfast the next day with coffee!!! We did not expect this so “arigato”

A really lovely hotel with superb views from the bar in the 8th floor, free drinks on the 3rd floor each day with a great outdoor area. The room was small but had everything you could need and the location was fabulous , so close to trains, buses, very walkable. Right near alleys of cool little restaurants and easy access to so many temples and sites. The staff very nice and helpful . Highly recommended.

This hotel is amazing! Not only clean and quiet and very modern but perfectly positioned close to all of the metro / train stations and hundreds of dinings options. The main road is great and bustling but also take the time to drop back one or two streets and explore the more traditional stores and eateries, it’s like a different city!
I would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Kyoto!

Hotel Emion in Kyoto offered us a great all round experience for a decent price, the public baths are a good alternative to the onsets give the price, food and accommodation were decent. Location was really good- close to most things (20-25 ) min train ride.

Kenji-san provided exceptional service from start to finish. He greeted us and offered to store our bags as we arrived before the check-in time. When we returned he recognised us and the process to get our room was easy.
We were served by Kenji-san again on our check-out and asked about our stay. Absolutely impeccable.
I enjoyed the fitness room and having the water replenished every day. The use of IPad to control temperature, curtains, lighting and to call for hotel services was unique....

Accommodation with half board option is a must without consideration. It takes our the needs to worry about where to eat for breakfast and dinner, then you can skip lunch for more time with site visits. The public bath is nice and clean. Staff are friendly.

This is a very cool hotel and in an excellent location for both exploring on foot and access to the train. I’ll be searching for sister Ace Hotel sites for future travel.

We loved our time here. It was really accessible to a subway and there were heaps of things to do within walking distance. We’d happily stay here again!

If you want to find some accommodation with fewer rooms than a hotel and a more personalised environment, a B&B may be the perfect thing for your trip to Kyoto. If you love to watch a show while travelling, you'll want to get tickets for Pontocho's Kaburenjo Theater or Minamiza Theater during your trip to Kyoto.
Why choose B&Bs instead of traditional hotels?
With attentive service, opportunities to meet other guests and hearty breakfasts, B&Bs provide a truly one-of-a-kind setting.
When you're planning your trip to Kyoto, year-round temperatures and rainfall may be important factors to consider. The hottest months are usually August and July, with an average temperature of 24°C, while the coldest months are January and February, with an average of 5°C. The rainiest months in Kyoto are July, June, September and October, with each month seeing an average of 206 mm of rainfall.
What is there to do in Kyoto?
Travellers who want to experience Kyoto should visit its temples and interesting historical sites. Spend some time exploring Kyoto Gyoen National Garden and Maruyama Park if you're hoping to see some of the area's natural features. You should put Kiyamachi Street and Pontocho's Kaburenjo Theater on your list if you want to see more of the area.
How can I get to and around Kyoto?
You can map out your trip in and around Kyoto ahead of time with these transportation options. Fly into Osaka (ITM-Itami), which is located 24 mi (38.6 km) away. Otherwise, you can search for flights to Kobe (UKB), which is 40 mi (64.4 km) away. If you'd like to explore around the area, you may want a rental car for your journey.
