Nose Vacations from NT$16,936

Newer hotel, nicely appointed. Easy access to subway entrance. Nearby grocery/drug stores would recommend Fresco as they have best prices and best selection. Arrived before check-in. They stored our luggage for us. When we got back from exploring the city, our bags were already in our room. Very modern Panasonic washer/dryer combo in room. Detergent provided. Decent sized fridge and freezer. Two separate toilet areas for our room which had two double beds and two twin sofas. The separate toilet rooms were extremely beneficial with six adults. Was slightly crowded overall for us, but we made it work. Check out was easy. They were able to arrange shipment of our larger luggage to Tokyo/Chiba next day. Free morning shuttle to the Golden Temple, so you can avoid crowded buses.Needs to be reserved a day prior. Will need to ride the city bus back which were now less crowded. Again they stored our luggage that we did not ship and we picked it up early afternoon when we got back. 100% would stay there again and would recommend them to anyone.

NA AC was working fine

Very helpful, polite, courteous, and professional staff members. The hotel also had 3rd party company in the morning for shipping luggage, or whatever to next destination. I would say only negative thing was buffet food (average tasting).

Great location, very comfortable room and beds, nice spa.

Staying at Hiiragiya Ryokan in Kyoto was an unforgettable experience that beautifully captured the essence of Japanese hospitality and tradition. Established over 200 years ago, this historic inn has been lovingly maintained by the same family for seven generations, and that legacy of care and refinement is evident in every detail. Upon arrival, the atmosphere immediately conveyed a sense of calm and timeless elegance. The 7th-generation daughter personally visited our room to introduce herself, sharing the history of her family, the inn, and the customs that have shaped Japanese hospitality for centuries. Her warmth and grace made the experience feel deeply personal and meaningful, connecting us not just to the place but to its living heritage. Every aspect of our stay reflected the highest level of service we have ever encountered. From the meticulous presentation of the kaiseki meals to the attentiveness of the staff anticipating every need, the experience was defined by quiet excellence and genuine care. The rooms, adorned with traditional tatami mats, shoji screens, and seasonal flower arrangements, offered a serene retreat that felt both luxurious and authentically Japanese. It is a rare opportunity to step into a world where tradition, artistry, and hospitality converge in perfect harmony. This was not just accommodation—it was a cultural immersion and a once-in-a-lifetime experience that will be remembered as one of the most special moments of travel in Japan.
