Hotels near Heian Shrine

"Great stay. Would definitely stay again in Kyoto. Location was excellent for walking "

"FIVE STARS! This was by far the best hotel in all of our Japan trip. The staff was excellent and super nice! The room was super spacious and the bathroom was huge - we loved the shower. They also had some snacks and water available all the time as compliments and were refilled daily. Location was also great, with Kyotos Gion District for dinning and largest Temples all within a short walk. "

"The most tasteful, kind and comfortable boutique hotel in Kyoto. So much nicer than a big chain and near the Higashiyama sights"

"If you can afford to splurge, this place is a treasure. Service like I’ve never experienced, and beautiful rooms and a great location. The restaurants are fancy French, also extremely good, but we didn’t dine in. This place is world-class.😊"

"Great location. Immaculate room and common area. Very helpful staff, especially Irina. I would stay here again and recommend to friends planning a visit to Kyoto. "

""A"... perhaps "the" classic ryokan. Relaxed (genuine) gracefullness that is not commercial or something you can teach. It is not a material luxury experience (there are many others who fit this expectation), so much as an unintentional unmannicured view into the past of old Kyoto. Very dreamy for me at least!. It felt like returning to my granny's house in post war Setayaga. Special. There are exceptional people among the staff whose heart beats echo mine and that era."

"Our stay at SOYO-NE Kyoto Sanjo was just amazing! The hotel is in a perfect location, very close to everything, which made exploring Kyoto super easy. The design of the hotel is stunning. It perfectly combines the feeling of a traditional Japanese stay with a modern, stylish atmosphere, almost like being in a James Bond movie! Everything was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed. We truly enjoyed our time there and would definitely stay again on our next visit to Kyoto."

"I didn't expect that it would be a whole house just for myself! The service was splendid, very polite and helpful. The house has everything you need, i.e. all the dishes. The interior is traditional and, very comfortable and nice."

"The room was very clean, larger than average, and very nice. Loved the small boutique vibe, and the staff was just awesome. They were so helpful with getting taxis and help with the train. Breakfast was traditional Japanese style served in our room. Great room amenities and atmosphere. Love it! We would definitely stay there again. "

"We had an amazing 3 day stay at Art Mon Zen. From the moment we arrived to leaving, the staff were exceptional and extremely attentive. Probably the best hotel stay in Japan. Overall, the room was very comfortable and relaxing after a long day visiting all the sensational sights in Kyoto. We would highly recommend this hotel to anyone wishing to stay near the main Gion district in Kyoto."

"What a beautiful ryokan! We absolutely enjoyed the room, the onsen and the breakfast! Front desk was helpful with shipping our luggage. Highly recommend!"

"Absolutely wonderful villa nestled in the Higashiyama hills. Beautiful setting and away from the hustle and bustle of Kyoto. Short walk into Gion and right next to a lovely small temple. Friendly staff and everything you need is there. Cant wait to go back."

"Absolutely a five star experience! Everything from the cleanliness of the hotel room and grounds to the wonderful staff, our stay here made our trip to Kyoto that much more memorable. It’s an absolute gem. "
