"There were two Japanese well maintained gardens and stone paving hallway outside. They were beautiful and they made us feel very historical culture. The summer season in Kyoto is very uncomfortable to stay outside because of the hight temperature but, in this house, for some reason we could stay comfortably without air conditioner. It was a huge house but all the rooms were cleaned perfectly. Especially we were impressed with the bathroom. The high-tech toilets beautiful wooden bath tub made us...

Top Shozan Japanese Garden Hotel Reviews

THE JUNEI HOTEL Kyoto Imperial Palace West

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely property with amazingly kind and responsive staff."

Kyoto Brighton Hotel

8/10 Good

"Location is not the best for sightseeing traveller unless you are ok taking lot of taxis (which is not too expensive in kyoto)"

The Royal Park Canvas Kyoto Nijo

10/10 Excellent

"Honestly could not recommend this hotel enough. The room was spacious enough for my boyfriend and I, and our suitcases. You’re not spending too much time in your room anyway (hopefully). They had comfortable pajamas, plenty of amenities if needed. A coffee station that also had delicious matcha. I also really appreciated I was able to log in to my Netflix account and watch some of my favorite shows while visiting. It was literally across the street from a major station so running around town was super easy. I can’t wait to have another amazing stay when I come back."

Agora Place Kyoto Nijo

8/10 Good

"Helpful staff. Walkable. I wish they can provide 2 pillows instead of one only for health reasons."

Hotel Excellence Enmachi Ekimae

10/10 Excellent

"Very cozy and accommodating! Would definitely stay again!"

Ben's Guesthouse Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"My son and I stayed at Ben's Guesthouse for four nights in September 2026. Our room was clean and plenty spacious. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom was clean and totally functional, nice shower/bath. The air conditioning was comfortable and reliable. There is a strict no-shoes policy which is enforced by placing your footwear in designated slots before you enter beyond the office area. It's easy to adjust to this policy, and it translates into very clean floors throughout. Ben's is in a quiet and clean neighborhood, and particularly quiet at night, as all the stores on that particular street close early. There is still plenty going on at all hours within walking distance. We felt really lucky to have discovered Ben's Guesthouse. If I ever return to Kyoto, that's where I'll stay, beyond a doubt."

OKU Kamishichiken

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely place to stay in an area of Kyoto that’s close to a few large, beautiful shrines. Really great room complemented by a wonderful, helpful staff. Would love to stay here again!"

Urban Hotel Kyoto Nijo Premium

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel close to Nijo station and Castle. The staff was friendly and helpful. Room was clean and spacious. Close to grocery store and a few restaurants. Laundry amenities handy to have available."
