Hotels near Nanzen-ji Temple Kyoto

"Great stay. Would definitely stay again in Kyoto. Location was excellent for walking "

"AKEKURE Kyoto Shirakawa — 10/10. Full stop. There are hotels that get everything right. And then there’s AKEKURE. This nine-room boutique opened in December 2025 and it already feels like it’s been here forever — like it was always supposed to exist exactly where it does, tucked among willow trees along a small river in one of Kyoto’s most quietly beautiful neighborhoods. We arrived at 3pm. The exterior stopped us before we even walked in. The facade is considered and deliberate — the kind of...

"This was a charming little place very close to the river, restaurants and shopping and just a short walk to the subway. Check-in was easy, staff was nice and the rooms were well-designed, cozy and clean. The price was very reasonable and we would definitely return. "

" A serene, modern, and stylish place with a wonderfully cosy atmosphere. Located in a quiet area of the city yet still easily accessible to all the main attractions. The beautiful garden and surrounding grounds are perfect for peaceful morning walks, and the elegant breakfast was a lovely way to start the day. I would definitely recommend it."

"Beautiful hotel in Ginza with the most attentive staff!"

"An exceptional stay from start to finish. Gracious hospitality, a true time capsule with updates in all the right places. The japanese breakfast every day was truly memorable, and the coffee shop on the property was beautiful as well. I could not recommend more, 10/10 stay, worth the price! We stayed in the private cabin and it was perfect. "

"beautiful hotel room with serene views! impeccable customer service. would stay at the hotel again in a heart beat."

"Large rooms very convenient location "

"This was my favorite of all of the hotels we stayed at in Japan. The neighborhood is really neat and easy to navigate, with a lot of great little shops and restaurants. There is a nightlife around as well, but the bars and clubs are very good at keeping the noise contained so the neighborhood is respectably quiet. Everyone in Gion is friendly and helpful. The hotel is clean and modern, and the space of the rooms was really nice. If we come back to Kyoto we would stay at this same hotel again and...
