Set in Kyoto, less than 1 km from Gion Shijo Station and 1.5 km from the centre, Woman Only Guesthouse Nanohana (Female only) offers air-conditioned accommodation with free WiFi, and a shared lounge. Featuring full-day security, this property also provides guests with a family-friendly restaurant. Shoren-in Temple is 2 km from the guest house and Nijo Castle is 2.8 km away.

The location is good. Near the shopping center and stations. There’s also a 7/11 nearby. The shared bathroom is always clean and has available amenities for use. There’s also food stalls and restaurants which are all walking distance. I also live that they have a massager in the common room which I used especially after a long walk.

Featuring 3-star accommodation, Kyono Mori Yurinsha is set in Kyoto, 1.7 km from Sanjusangen-do Temple and 1 km from Kyoto Shigaku Kaikan Conference Hall. Among the facilities of this property are a restaurant, room service and luggage storage space, along with free WiFi. The property is 1.1 km from Gion Shijo Station, and within 1.7 km of the city centre.

Delicious breakfast: homemade bagels, home-cured bacon, vegetable soup, salads, yogurt and fruit, fruit juice, tea or coffee. Excellent start to the day. If you want to stay in an old part of the city, not in a faceless chain hotel, this is a great option. There is a convenience store and a supermarket a few minutes' walk from the inn. The bus stops are nearby and you're a few minutes from the Keihan train line too.

    I loved everything about this accommodation. Starting from Kevin who was an amazing host, welcoming, kind and helped us with a lot of staff. Thank you! I really liked our room with a traditional atmosphere and I was surprised by how spacious and clean it was. The hotel has an elevator and is located in a charming, quiet neighbourhood. Only 20 minutes on foot from the Kyoto Station and the same distance from Gion district. Thank you for having us, definitely will visit next time!

    The hosts were very gracious and made available a variety of snacks throughout the stay including fresh fruit and breakfast pastries left in our room each day. It was nice to have a Japanese home experience. The dogs were so calm and gentle. The location was very quiet and the courtyard entry felt safe.

    It is a family run b&b with taking good care by the hosts who have put years of energy and passion into making this place so cozy, beautiful and feel at home. Breakfast comes with home-made everything which is delicate, delicious and satisfying. Great location with quiet and chill neighbourhood which is only 5mins walk from the station and close to city centre. So grateful we have chosen this place to stay.
