The Kabin Machi property was a simpler version of their other Kyoto locations but you are allowed to use all other nearby hotel amenities. So we were able to work out at the Kabin Taka gym as well as do our laundry. The network of hotels is a great idea- it allowed us to stay at the hotel nearest to the shopping area we liked but still have all the features to use when needed of the other buildings. I wish Kabin were all over the world because this is now my favorite hotel.

If you're going to see a geisha just pay the money for a private show and don't be that tourist who is chasing them down the street for a photograph.

Foreigners receive an automatic discounted rate and it is a great orientation to the culture and history. Google maps takes you essentially to the back door of the place and it is confusing. It is a large white brick building you can see from where Google maps takes you, but you have to go around the block to get in.

3/5 - Okay

Explore the area around Gion Corner. Go up and down the side and main street that it's on. You'll really get the feel of old Kyoto.

4/5 - Good

I assume this is a reference to the Gion District. A must. Large and well preserved district. Go at dusk when it is at its most atmospheric. Geisha sightings possible but please do stick cameras in their faces. Admire but do not pester.
