It’s just 20 mins away from Fushimi Inari (1000 tori gates), and a 45 min drive of the popular Arashiyama Bamboo Forest...

Hilton Kyoto

"Beautiful property, captures the aesthestic"

THE BLOSSOM KYOTO

10/10 Excellent

"One of the nicest hotels we stayed at during our trip, and likely one of my favorites overall. The staff were exceptionally kind and courteous. They made check in and out very easy. When we first arrived we were greeted with a complimentary beverage of our choice. I loved the design of the hotel. The lobby itself is beautiful! The stonework, art, and the integration of plant life throughout was all it's so wonderful to take in and admire. The rooms are similarly as well designed. They have a very modern aesthetic but also provides a very very calm and relaxing atmosphere. The accent lighting was lovely. The beds are also very comfortable. But for me the highlight on top of all of this was the guest lounge area. I appreciated the access to drink and snacks even in the later hours of the day. To top it all off, there is a common bath area that was wonderful to relax and in the evening. It was an amazing experience. I would definitely stay there again!"
