Top neighborhoods in Kyoto

Gion

Wander through Gion's narrow lanes where wooden machiya houses transport you to old-world Kyoto. Catch glimpses of geiko and maiko hurrying to appointments in elegant kimono along Hanamikoji Street. Yasaka Shrine's vermillion gates and the willow-lined Shirakawa canal create perfect photo backdrops for culture seekers. Temple gardens offer peaceful retreats from the bustling crowds. Exclusive kaiseki restaurants hide behind unassuming wooden facades, requiring reservations weeks ahead. Artisan shops sell handcrafted kimono accessories and traditional fans until early evening. Visit during morning hours to avoid the tourist crush. The neighborhood is best explored on foot, with the Gion-shijo Station connecting you to greater Kyoto.

Central Kyoto

Central Kyoto's historic streets are home to breathtaking UNESCO treasures like Kiyomizu-dera Temple and Nijo Castle. You can immerse yourself in authentic Japanese culture through mesmerizing geisha performances in Gion or peaceful tea ceremonies amid picturesque gardens. Wander through the thousands of vermilion torii gates at Fushimi Inari Shrine or marvel at the gleaming Kinkaku-ji Golden Pavilion. Traditional ryokans offer tatami floors and cultural immersion while local shops showcase exquisite textiles and ceramics. The neighborhood is best explored on foot or via the convenient metro stations at Imadegawa, Kuramaguchi, or Nijojo-mae. Morning visits help you dodge crowds and soak up temple bell echoes across this living museum of Japanese heritage.

Higashiyama Ward

Traditional-style buildings and protected status define this part of Kyoto, with entertainment in Gion near Yasaka Shrine. Must-see attractions include Kiyomizu Temple, Kyoto National Museum, and Namikawa Cloisonne Museum.

Arashiyama

Historic Site and Place of Scenic Beauty, Arashiyama offers attractions like Iwatayama Monkey Park, Tenryū-ji temple, and Sagano bamboo forest. Easily accessible and walkable, it's perfect for exploring Kyoto's western outskirts.

Kyoto and related destinations

Between ancient temples and modern manga museums, Kyoto reveals itself through contrasts. Wander through vermillion gates at Fushimi Inari Shrine, where thousands of torii create tunnels of orange against green mountainside. Geisha hurry through narrow Gion streets at dusk, their white-painted faces glimpsed briefly before disappearing into exclusive teahouses. The golden pavilion of Kinkaku-ji appears to float on its reflecting pond, somehow more impressive than any photograph suggests. Nishiki Market offers bizarre delicacies and perfect ceramics in equal measure. Don't miss Arashiyama's bamboo grove, where morning light filters through impossibly tall stalks creating a green cathedral effect that explains why the Japanese find spirituality in nature.

Hotel Gracery Kyoto Sanjo

8/10 Good
"This hotel was mainly for the location, and the location is awesome for shopping. The room and hotel itself were okay. The rooms are a little outdated, and the beds had a few minor stains on the blankets, nothing that was terrible (all of our group had some kind of stain on the blankets in every room) but definitely made an impact on our visit to the hotel. The premium lounge is awesome, but located directly next to a smoking area, and was often just filled with smoke, which made it so we never went. Again the location is 100% worth it, and if you just want to use it as we did as a place to sleep while shopping in Kyoto, then its awesome."

"My only complaint was that there were only three washer/dryers in the entire hotel and I had to wake up at 2:00am to wash and dry my clothes when I was already exhausted. Every time I’d check there was a line of people waiting to use them. And it took a few cycles for my clothes to dry although I didn’t wash much."
