Top Iwayasan Shimyo-in Temple Hotel Reviews

Agora Place Kyoto Nijo

8/10 Good

"The room was small but neat. Amenities downstairs were good. Staff was courteous."

moksa Rebirth Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely adored my stay here only wish it was longer. Nicely remote because I find the tourists in Kyoto quite overwhelming and the sauna was lovely. Breakfast was also amazing and they accommodated my allergies without stress."

Kyoto Brighton Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I place was spotless, staff was friendly and the breakfast was excellent!!!!"

Ryokan Yamazaki

10/10 Excellent

"My son and I really enjoyed our stay at Ryokan Yamazaki, the staff were incredibly kind and helpful from checking us in, to making sure we ate and helping to order us cabs. We loved staying at a traditional style Japanese home, and the location was up in the north west area of Kyoto away from the crowds and tourists which we appreciated, and the beauty of the mountains and neighborhoods. I recommend this place to anyone who wants to experience a traditional Japanese stay."

RESI STAY Nishijin

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location. Very clean place with everything you need. Fantastic costumer service and great shuttle to the apartment. Great for families with teens!"

OKU Kamishichiken

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent hotel in a beautiful and old building. I believe it was a tea house long ago, now renovated and modernized into a hotel. The staff was very helpful. There are several bus stops nearby, so getting around Kyoto was easy. 7-11 is a few doors down in case you need a quick snack."

Kyoto Ohara Ryokan Seryo

10/10 Excellent

"Best meal of my life. Superb. Setting is gorgeous and authentic. Nearby hills, shrines, etc are gorgeous. A perfect getaway."
