All rooms include air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, Wi-Fi, an electric kettle, a safe deposit box, and a private bathroom with a bath, shower, and free toiletries. The design incorporates soft light through Japanese paper and views of the inner garden with seasonal plants.
Dining at Yasaka Endo
The onsite Japanese restaurant Yasaka Endo serves traditional kaiseki cuisine, tempura lunchboxes, and dashi-shabu with seasonal pairings like sea bream and bamboo shoots in spring or tilefish and turnip in winter. Breakfast includes shrimp tempura rice balls, yuba tofu, and dashi rolled egg omelet. The restaurant has 38 tables with views of a shoin-zukuri inspired stage and occasional maiko performances.

Guests have access to a large public bath with a communal shower area and hot bathing pool, open until 2am and segregated by gender. A guest lounge offers complimentary coffee, tea, juice, and snacks from 1 PM to 6 PM. The lobby and corridors overlook a garden that reflects the scenery of Higashiyama.
Location & Transportation
The hotel is located in Gion, steps from Kennin-ji Temple (0.3 km) and Maruyama Park (1 km). It is 1.5 km from Shoren-in and Nishiki Market, 2 km from Nijo Castle and Nishi-Hongan-ji, and 3.5 km from Fushimi Inari Shrine. Itami Airport is 50 km away, and the hotel is 2 km from Karasuma.
Services & Amenities
Staff provide seated check-in with tea and advice on local restaurants. Room service orders placed by 10 AM are delivered after 5 PM. The guest lounge and public bath are complimentary during operating hours. The concept 'surprise in simplicity' extends to thoughtful amenities and design details throughout the hotel.
“In my opinion, this hotel excels with its remarkably attentive staff and prime Gion location; the personalized service, especially from the concierge, appears truly exceptional. That said, some experiences, like the limited happy hour and in-room amenities issues, suggest occasional inconsistencies. Overall, it seems a solid choice for those prioritizing location and attentive care.”

Really good Stay in a Prime Location
tea servicelobby designonsen wing
The hotel's location was excellent! It was close to many sights. I appreciated the tea service provided during check-in. The separate wings design for the rooms, lobby, and onsen created a cohesive experience.
The hotel needs SOME extra attention to cleanliness, I noticed some areas that could use improvement.

i was grateful for the hotel's proximity to many historical sites. it allowed us to see landmarks without dealing with huge crowds. the staff was helpful and the onsen was a nice relaxing experience.
The breakfast setup felt a bit chaotic. the restaurant seemed small for the number of guests it serves at once. People were often bumping into each other. i also wish there was more storage space in the room. Our luggage made it a little cramped

the breakfast experience bothered me a bit the restaurant felt quite cramped it seemed they tried to fit too many tables into a small space. the food was fine nothing particularly special i expected a bit more variety and higher quality considering the price point. also the guest lounge was quite small finding a seat during happy hour was a real challenge it often felt overcrowded and not very relaxing.
