The Westin Miyako Kyoto

The Westin Miyako Kyoto truly lives up to its reputation—excellent quality and service throughout. Located in eastern Kyoto, it’s just a short walk from Exit 2 of the Keihan Subway's Katsuyama Station, making access super convenient. One of the highlights is the on-site hot spring bath—definitely worth trying if you’re looking to unwind. My initial room was near the street and a bit noisy, but after speaking with the front desk, they quickly arranged a room change. Special thanks to Mr. Yamane and another staff member who looked like a young Hikaru Nakamura (I mean, a little like Hikaru Nakamura—just kidding!)—they were incredibly helpful and polite. The hotel also offers a direct shuttle to Kyoto Station, departing at 8:00 AM on weekends and holidays, and 9:00 AM on weekdays, with departures every hour at :10 and :40—only 25 minutes to the station, perfect for travelers. Daily housekeeping kept the room spotless, just as clean as when I first arrived, and they even included calming essential oils each day. Breakfast was outstanding—especially the homemade onigiri corner, where a cheerful lady made some of the most delicious rice balls I’ve ever had. It’s definitely worth waking up early for. Overall, this hotel delivers comfort, convenience, and genuine hospitality—highly recommended!

Dusit Thani Kyoto

The service here was exceptional—warm, welcoming, and genuinely thoughtful. I was especially happy to see a Korean-speaking staff member on duty, which made the experience even more comfortable for me. On our first evening, we dined at KOYO?, where the teppanyaki was absolutely outstanding—rich, flavorful, and unforgettable. The taste lingered long after the meal, and I still think about it. Breakfast was equally impressive, with each dish fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. Definitely worth trying if you're staying here. The onsen and sauna are modest in size, but since we visited during a quiet time, there were no crowds. It felt peaceful and serene, so the space never felt cramped or overwhelming. Our room was spacious—by far the largest I’ve experienced in any Japanese hotel. Every detail, from the furniture to the decorative elements, felt high-end and well-curated. The interior design throughout the hotel is stunning; walking around felt like a visual treat. That was actually one of the main reasons I chose this property. I didn’t manage to book a spa treatment in advance, but when I called on the day, the staff went above and beyond to help—even though all slots were full. They actively searched for an available spot and found one for me. That level of dedication truly stood out. I’m incredibly grateful.

Aman Kyoto

Staying at Aman Kyoto felt like stepping into a peaceful retreat hidden within the heart of Kyoto. The property is quiet and secluded, with its own little forest that makes evening strolls after dinner incredibly relaxing. Even though it was late in the maple season, the autumn ambiance still lingered beautifully—just a bit sparse on the red foliage from the room windows. Service was exceptional—each night brought a different sweet treat delivered to our room, a lovely personal touch. Afternoon tea was elegantly presented and deliciously crafted. The snow crab kaiseki dinner stood out as truly memorable, with exquisite flavors and thoughtful presentation. We stayed for three nights, and every moment felt luxurious and restorative. If you're looking for a serene, high-quality getaway in Kyoto, this is absolutely worth it.

KYOTO TOKYU HOTEL

I couldn’t be happier with my stay at Kyoto Tokyu Hotel—this was truly one of the best experiences I’ve had in Japan. The room was prepared exactly to my request, which made me feel right at home from the moment I arrived. The executive lounge was a highlight: offering a wide range of snacks, coffee, tea, and even alcoholic drinks, perfect for unwinding after a long day exploring Kyoto. Room amenities were top-notch—everything was well-maintained, quiet, and functioned smoothly. The only small downside? The hairdryer was a bit outdated and took longer than expected to dry my hair, but it’s a minor issue. What really stood out was the exceptional service—the front desk staff were warm and attentive, and the shuttle service was seamless and thoughtfully arranged. The hotel shuttle stops just behind Kyoto Station, near the Hachijo East Exit, making transfers super convenient. It runs from 8 AM to 8:30 PM, so you can easily get into and out of the city without stress. I highly recommend this hotel—especially if you value comfort, convenience, and genuine hospitality. Check out my last two photos—they speak volumes about how much I enjoyed this stay!

Park Hyatt Kyoto

Staying at Park Hyatt Kyoto was an absolute highlight—serene yet perfectly positioned in the heart of Kyoto. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was calm and elegant, a true oasis amidst the city. The room was cozy and thoughtfully designed, with luxurious bedding that made it hard to leave. The staff were incredibly warm and attentive, and I was so grateful for the multilingual team member who spoke fluent Chinese—she made check-in smooth and stress-free. Every detail felt just right: not too flashy, but full of quiet sophistication. Honestly, this place felt more comfortable than some other high-end hotels I’ve stayed at, and I already can’t wait to return. And the food? Don’t miss the on-site Western restaurant—while the Japanese dining experience is Michelin-worthy, their lobster pasta was a revelation. Rich, perfectly cooked, and bursting with flavor. It’s one of those meals you’ll remember long after you’ve left.

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.
