Such a beautiful stay for our honeymoon, it was super close to all the shops and restaurants in Gion which is a beautiful part of town in Osaka. The reception staff were so friendly, and super accomodation for any questions or recommendations you may have. We got the garden room which was honestly a sight to look at, the floors were tatami and had the best sleeps ever. Highly recommend this spot to anyone coming to Kyoto

We had a great stay at Gion Misen it was the perfect type and location of property to capture the feel of being in Kyoto. It was easy to get to from the train station and we were able to walk to major areas of interest. Beverages were provided 24 hours and there were laundry services one block from property. Staff was attentive and made some great food recommendations. We would definitely stay again.

Hidden Gem
This hotel is a gem. This was our second stay here and we would go back again in a heartbeat. Beautiful interior with many small crafted architectural details, hand made pottery, etc. Excellent and helpful service, great Japanese style breakfast, comfortable rooms, and the Gion neighborhood is just magical.

Goin Misen was a bit of Old Kyoto. Our room had a Japanese garden outside main window. The entire staff was excellent in their desire to assist us. Very quiet surroundings. I will recommend this hotel to family and friends traveling to Kyoto. We will definitely stay here again!! Our appreciation to all the staff!

Wow - what a great hotel! Beautiful rooms, lots of attention to detail. Everything was perfect and what a location- right in the heart of gion and a street away from the river. The bath tub / bathroom were my favourite in Japan

Safe, beautiful location on a quiet street but close to everything. Clean, comfortable, and quiet room with good amenities. Coffee, tea, ginger ale, and fridge provided. A 7-11 just around the corner, which we used for breakfast and many other items (including Pokémon cards for my son!). Couldn’t have chosen a better place to stay in Kyoto.

This property is on the smaller size. The room has a nice design, but lacking counter space (think of no room for laptop). It is on the outskirt of gion so it is about a 10-15 mins to center to gion tourist area.
