Ideally located just a 10-minute walk from the iconic Kiyomizu-dera Temple, Guesthouse Soi offers various rooms including private Japanese-style rooms and dormitory rooms. Both Kiyomizu Gojo and Shichijo stations for the Keihan Main Line are situated within a 10-minute walk. Free WiFi is available throughout the property. It's a great locating in a quiet street. The guesthouse itself is so warm and cozy, and the ability to have a private bathroom in a traditionally laid out inn was great.

Featuring a garden and views of garden, Azukiya is a recently renovated guest house located in Kyoto, 700 metres from Shoren-in Temple. A hot tub and a bicycle rental service are available for guests. The accommodation provides a shared kitchen, full-day security and currency exchange for guests. Everything was wonderful and exceeded our expectations. The host was delightful, the breakfasts were delicious, and the view from the balcony was beautiful. The location is excellent – it’s much less crowded than central Kyoto, yet still very close to the main areas and Gion, plus its easily accessilbe by subway. I highly recommend this place, and if we come back to Kyoto, we will definitely try to stay here again for a longer visit.
