Top neighbourhoods in Kyoto

Gion

Wander through Gion's narrow lanes where wooden machiya houses transport you to old-world Kyoto. Catch glimpses of geiko and maiko hurrying to appointments in elegant kimono along Hanamikoji Street. Yasaka Shrine's vermillion gates and the willow-lined Shirakawa canal create perfect photo backdrops for culture seekers. Temple gardens offer peaceful retreats from the bustling crowds. Exclusive kaiseki restaurants hide behind unassuming wooden facades, requiring reservations weeks ahead. Artisan shops sell handcrafted kimono accessories and traditional fans until early evening. Visit during morning hours to avoid the tourist crush. The area is best explored on foot, with the Gion-shijo Station connecting you to greater Kyoto.

Central Kyoto

Central Kyoto's historic streets are home to breathtaking UNESCO treasures like Kiyomizu-dera Temple and Nijo Castle. You can immerse yourself in authentic Japanese culture through mesmerising geisha performances in Gion or peaceful tea ceremonies amid picturesque gardens. Wander through the thousands of vermilion torii gates at Fushimi Inari Shrine or marvel at the gleaming Kinkaku-ji Golden Pavilion. Traditional ryokans offer tatami floors and cultural immersion while local shops showcase exquisite textiles and ceramics. The area is best explored on foot or via the convenient metro stations at Imadegawa, Kuramaguchi, or Nijojo-mae. Morning visits help you dodge crowds and soak up temple bell echoes across this living museum of Japanese heritage.

Higashiyama Ward

Higashiyama's stone-paved streets lead you through a living museum of ancient Japan. Traditional wooden machiya houses stand beside magnificent temples like Kiyomizu-dera with its dramatic wooden stage overlooking Kyoto. Wander through vermillion torii gates or catch glimpses of geisha gliding between appointments in Gion's atmospheric alleyways. Tea houses serve frothy matcha alongside wagashi sweets, while traditional kaiseki restaurants offer multi-course feasts celebrating seasonal ingredients. Getting around requires comfortable shoes—most attractions involve walking steep paths, though several train and metro stations connect the district to greater Kyoto. Traditional ryokan and machiya guesthouses provide authentic overnight experiences with tatami floors and cultural immersion.

Arashiyama

Arashiyama offers a dreamy escape where ancient temples peek through towering bamboo stalks and golden sunlight filters through leafy corridors. The iconic Togetsukyo Bridge spans the rushing Hozu River while monkeys play in nearby hills. Wander through the magical Bamboo Grove or find zen vibes in traditional Japanese gardens that make you forget you're still in Kyoto. Traditional ryokans and riverside dining spots showcase authentic kaiseki and tofu specialities that reflect the area's Buddhist influence. Catch the train at Saga-Arashiyama Station or rent a bike to explore the neighborhood's winding paths. Just remember to arrive early – this slice of old-world Japan gets busy after 10 AM.

Kyoto and related destinations

Between ancient temples and modern manga museums, Kyoto reveals itself through contrasts. Wander through vermillion gates at Fushimi Inari Shrine, where thousands of torii create tunnels of orange against green mountainside. Geisha hurry through narrow Gion streets at dusk, their white-painted faces glimpsed briefly before disappearing into exclusive teahouses. The golden pavilion of Kinkaku-ji appears to float on its reflecting pond, somehow more impressive than any photograph suggests. Nishiki Market offers bizarre delicacies and perfect ceramics in equal measure. Don't miss Arashiyama's bamboo grove, where morning light filters through impossibly tall stalks creating a green cathedral effect that explains why the Japanese find spirituality in nature.

Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was amazing! The facility is beautiful with all of the wonderful amenities you could ask for. The room we booked was spacious and we received pajamas and a new pair of tabi socks with our turn down service nightly. The breakfast was amazing. I am infatuated with the coffee/matcha machine and wish I could get one for my house! I loved this hotel so much and so happy we booked based on a friend's recommendation. "

JR WEST GROUP VIA INN PRIME KYOTOEKI HACHIJOGUCHI

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was absolutely beautiful! All the amenities were easily accessible and made the stay more pleasant. The hotel is conveniently located by major transportation routes and there were numerous restaurants or local shops to accommodate any souvenir shopping and cuisine preferences. Most importantly, the hotel staff were extremely helpful and friendly. They made check-in and check-out go very quickly. The hotel staff also graciously allowed for post check-out luggage storage. Would highly recommend this hotel to any tourists."

Oakwood Hotel Oike Kyoto

8/10 Good

"We spent about 7 days here. What we loved: the customer service from the Front Desk to the daily tidying from housekeeping was phenomenal, also the kind cafe attendants- lovely folks. We soooo appreciated the unlimited ice and water machine, and hands down, the best soft drink fountain we’ve ever had at an establishment that wasn’t a restaurant. We definitely will miss that. We loved the convenience of the location, literally within walking distance of bus stops, subway stops, and convenience stores. A couple of things: both my husband and I by night 4 started experiencing really unpleasant sleep, and could deduce it may have been the mattresses. There was a 2nd evening when we could hear the volume of our neighboring visitor and their music from their tele, when I called the Front Desk, he instructed me call them directly, to which I had to tell him he needed to handle the noise complaint. Also disappointed because I found out from my third party rewards/booking site that we were supposed to be offered a complimentary upgrade, which this wasn’t even mentioned at all during check in. Instead what was mentioned that I had requested for the lowest level available (weird because I couldn’t even complete their pre-check in process to request this and specifically messaged this establishment to inform them that I couldn’t complete their pre-check in process). Probably wouldn’t stay here again or recommend this hotel to family/friends."
