Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Furoan
Consider staying at The Ritz-Carlton Kyoto, just a 15-minute walk from Fugaku-an Temple. This luxury hotel blends traditional Japanese architecture with modern elegance, offering Garden-view rooms that frame serene Zen courtyards. Guests can enjoy authentic tea ceremony experiences on-site, immersing themselves in Kyoto’s cultural heritage.
For transportation, the hotel is within walking distance of Gion-Shijo Station on the Keihan Line and accessible via Kyoto City Bus Route 206. Explore the surrounding historic district by renting a bicycle—ideal for discovering quiet temples like Fugaku-an nestled among ancient trees. The area offers an authentic glimpse into Kyoto’s tranquil past.
Beyond visiting Fugaku-an’s tranquil kare-sansui rock garden and Zen meditation hall, try the monthly morning zazen meditation session hosted by resident monks (every third Saturday). It’s a rare chance to practice mindfulness in a sacred, forested setting.
Nearby Gion District features renowned confectioneries like Ichibangai, where you can savor seasonal treats such as matcha mochi and kinako dorayaki, paired with refined kaiseki cuisine. For deeper immersion, book a kimono rental tour—stroll along the Kamo River in traditional attire, especially breathtaking during cherry blossom or autumn foliage seasons. The area remains largely untouched by commercialization, offering genuine serenity and historical depth.
From Fugaku-an, walk to Gion-Shijo Station and take the Keihan Electric Railway or Kyoto City Bus Route 206 to Kiyomizu-dera Temple (approx. 15 minutes). For scenic exploration, rent a bicycle and ride along the Kamo River, passing through the stone steps leading to Fushimi Inari Shrine—a journey of about 30 minutes.
Alternatively, use shared e-bikes to visit the historic Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka streets, where you can enjoy freshly grilled daifuku and matcha desserts. These routes avoid crowded tourist zones, offering a more authentic experience of Kyoto’s slow-paced lifestyle. Major hubs like Shijo Station also provide shuttle access to Higashiyama District and Kyo no Mise in Kiyomizu, ideal for day-trip planning.
Consider Kyoto Minamiza Guest House, a beautifully restored machiya-style inn just a 10-minute walk from Fugaku-an. Each room features tatami flooring and shoji paper doors, creating an authentic Japanese atmosphere. The property offers private breakfasts with homemade natto, umeboshi, and seasonal vegetables, plus complimentary tea sets and a curated Kyoto map guide.
Another option is Gion Anzakuya, a small-scale ryokan with an outdoor onsen bath and traditional tea room. Guests can enjoy stargazing in the peaceful courtyard at night. Both lack airport transfers but are near Gion-Shijo Station, making it easy to reach destinations like Kinkaku-ji or Ninenzaka. Book early—especially during cherry blossom and autumn foliage seasons when demand is high.

Kyoto Century Hotel
Staying at Kyoto Century Hotel was an absolute highlight of my trip. The hotel is literally right next to the station—just a quick walk through the theater area, and you're there. It's incredibly convenient, especially with so many great dining options right around the station. The lobby is stunning, elegant, and well-designed—photo 3 captures it perfectly. The front desk staff were friendly and attentive; they even offered DHC toiletries and asked if we’d like to upgrade our room since occupancy was low. We declined because we only stayed one night before heading to Himeji, but looking back, having a bathtub would’ve been nice after a full day of walking. That said, the bed was incredibly comfortable—probably one of the best sleeps I’ve had on the road. The room wasn’t as small as I expected either; it felt spacious and well-appointed. Overall, this place exceeded my expectations. If I’m ever back in Kyoto, I’ll definitely book here again. Highly recommend for convenience, comfort, and value.

The area is perfect for shopping and exploring, and the hotel itself maintains excellent cleanliness.

I especially appreciated that the bathroom and shower area were separated, making it more functional and private. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay, adding to the overall positive experience. With its great location, clean rooms, and thoughtful layout, this hotel offers excellent value. Definitely planning to return.
Hotel Keihan Kyoto Grande
Staying at Hotel Keihan Kyoto Grande was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. The location is unbeatable—direct access to Kansai Airport bus right outside the door, making travel into Kyoto super convenient. I booked a room on the 13th floor, which is their VIP floor, accessible only with a key card. It felt exclusive and peaceful. There’s a small lounge area with a drink station offering free coffee, juice, soda, and even complimentary skincare products—super thoughtful touches. Breakfast is absolutely worth booking in advance. The buffet is extensive, featuring a wide range of Japanese and Western options, and what really stood out? They serve sake at breakfast! That’s something you don’t see every day. The quality, service, and attention to detail made this stay unforgettable. If you’re visiting Kyoto, this hotel should be at the top of your list.

Staying at this hotel was an absolute delight! The location is unbeatable—just a short walk from Kyoto Station, making it super convenient for catching the JR train to the airport. Our three-person room was spacious and well-organized; we easily unpacked two large suitcases without any hassle. The room itself was spotless and comfortable, with a nice balance of modern amenities and Japanese charm. The front desk staff were incredibly friendly and helpful—offering local tips, assisting with luggage, and going the extra mile to make our stay enjoyable. Right outside the door, there's a lively underground shopping arcade with plenty of dining options and convenience stores. Breakfast was a highlight: fresh, varied, and satisfying, with both Western and traditional Japanese choices. Everything you need is within walking distance. If I ever return to Kyoto, this will be my top pick—excellent value, great service, and a perfect home base for exploring the city.
Kyoto Tower Hotel
Staying at Kyoto Tower Hotel was an absolute delight. The location couldn’t be better—it’s directly across from Kyoto Station, just a 3-minute walk away, making it incredibly convenient for travelers arriving by train or planning to explore the city. The staff were exceptionally courteous and welcoming from the moment we arrived. We checked in early and left our luggage with them—when we returned in the evening, our bags had already been delivered to our room! That small gesture made a huge difference. The room itself was spacious and thoughtfully designed; even with three of us, having four beds didn’t feel cramped at all. There was plenty of room to move around, store belongings, and relax comfortably. Cleanliness, comfort, and excellent service all contributed to a memorable stay. Highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Kyoto—perfect blend of convenience, quality, and value.
Kyoto Tower Hotel Annex
The room was a bit compact, but spotlessly clean and well-maintained—definitely comfortable for a short stay. The American breakfast had limited options, but it was fresh and satisfying enough for me. Location-wise, it's incredibly convenient—just a quick walk from Kyoto Station, right across the street with a quiet little alley nearby, so no noise or traffic disturbance. Best of all, you can see the Kyoto Tower from the window, which adds such a nice touch to the view. The front desk even handed me a discount voucher for visiting the Kyoto Tower itself, so I took the chance to check it out—great experience! Overall, despite the small room size, the cleanliness, location, and added perks made this stay very worthwhile. I’d definitely consider returning.
Six Senses Kyoto
Staying at Six Senses Kyoto was an absolute highlight of my trip to Japan. From the moment I walked in, the warm and thoughtful Japanese hospitality stood out—staff were polite, attentive, and genuinely welcoming without being overbearing. The hotel itself feels fresh and modern, with a strong emphasis on sustainability woven into every detail, from the food and drinks to the design. I couldn’t book the spa (it’s famously popular), but the on-site hot spring was a wonderful alternative—perfect for unwinding after a long day. The omakase restaurant downstairs was an unforgettable experience; watching the chef craft each piece of sushi with such precision and care felt like art in motion. Even though I had the place mostly to myself during dinner and drinks at the bar, service remained impeccable and personal. Breakfast was a half-self-service spread—I enjoyed the Western-style options, though the omelette could’ve been fluffier. The Japanese rice was excellent, and while other dishes were just average, the welcome fruits and little pastries added a sweet touch, even if they didn’t quite hit the mark flavor-wise. A small disappointment: no welcome champagne, but that’s just a minor note in what was otherwise a flawless stay. If you’re looking for a serene, eco-conscious retreat with exceptional service and culinary charm, this is it.
Kyoran Kisaragitei
Staying at Kyoran Kisaragitei was an absolute delight. The moment I stepped into the property, I was captivated by the serene garden area—perfectly manicured with traditional Japanese elements that create a calming atmosphere. The room itself was spacious, clean, and well-appointed with modern comforts blended seamlessly with classic design. I especially appreciated the thoughtful touches like high-quality toiletries and excellent bedding. What truly stood out was the location—within walking distance to major attractions like Gion and Kiyomizu-dera, yet tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. There are plenty of local cafes, boutiques, and restaurants nearby, making it easy to explore Kyoto’s charm without needing to travel far. For a peaceful retreat with great convenience, this place is a must-book.
Loisir Hotel Kyoto Toji
The location is excellent—just a short walk from Kyoto Station, making it super convenient for exploring the city and getting around by train. The hotel is spotlessly clean with all the essentials you’d expect, and the room amenities are well thought out. The only minor downside is that the two beds are placed side by side, which might not be ideal if you prefer more space between sleeping areas. One thing to note: after booking online, there’s an additional tax to pay upon check-in—I initially thought it was a deposit and even asked the front desk for a refund at checkout, only to get a confused look in return! Lesson learned. Also, if you want housekeeping service, make sure to place a sign outside your door—unlike some hotels back home, they don’t automatically assume cleaning is needed. Overall, this is a great stay with strong value for money, especially given the central location and clean, modern rooms. I’d definitely recommend it.
RESI STAY Gojozaka
Absolutely loved my stay! The hotel is perfectly located right next to major attractions, making it super convenient to explore Kyoto's top sights without needing to travel far. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with modern amenities. I appreciated the quiet atmosphere and the thoughtful touches that made the experience feel personal. Being just steps away from local charm and culture made the whole trip even more memorable. Highly recommend this spot for travelers who want a peaceful retreat while staying in the heart of the action.
Kamo Residences by Reflections
Staying at Kamo Residences by Reflections felt like coming home—warm, inviting, and full of thoughtful touches that made our trip unforgettable. Every detail, from the quiet garden nook on the first floor with its subtle fragrance to the serene view of the Kamo River just outside, created a peaceful retreat. The fresh air and natural beauty were invigorating—every breath felt like recharging your soul. The platform’s VIP group was incredibly helpful, offering personalized recommendations for restaurants and local spots we wouldn’t have found otherwise. It’s rare to find such comfort, charm, and genuine hospitality in one place. If we ever return to Kyoto, this will be our first choice again.
