This is a great place and people are eager to help. It is quiet, soothing, and comfortable. Breakfast is delicious. The grounds are beautiful with a lot of trees and soothing water features. Stayed in Japanese western room, bed was very comfortable Wifi is very good. Amazing location for the Gion area.

Location, location, location. You won’t go wrong with this hotel. Located just a few minutes from beautiful temples and shrines. Gion, the tea house and Geisha district is so close. Service is outstanding however don’t expect fluent English speaking staff as in most of Japan. You will have the option to attend an early Buddhist ceremony (free), I highly recommend it if you are on tourism (all religions are welcomed).

Great location, very quiet, next to beautiful temple of Chion-in, yet super close to everything, in particular busy Gion district.
The hotel has a curfew at 11pm, which did not bother me but is not very convenient if you want to enjoy a later evening out.
