Where to Stay in Kyoto
If you’re not sure where to stay on your upcoming holiday, consider these guest favourites. They’re the best boutique hotels in Kyoto based on bookings by real travellers just like you:
- The Screen: Located just blocks from Kyoto Imperial Palace, The Screen is named for its architectural aesthetic…we think. Each of the 13 rooms is uniquely decorated with contemporary art, and the hotel’s facade looks quite mesh-like, which is pretty cool. Take a walk to the palace and enjoy a night out with dinner and drinks in nearby Pontocho Alley, or settle in and try your hand at sushi rolling in your private kitchen.
- Sakura Terrace The Gallery: Named after the sweet-smelling Japanese cherry blossom that fills Kyoto with pretty pink petals, this hotel is a contemporary retreat with natural light and minimalistic décor in the middle of the busy city. Located near great transportation and popular landmarks like Shinnyodo Temple and Mount Hiei, it’s the perfect place to see it all!
Out & About in Kyoto
You’ll definitely want a clear shot of the famous flame-coloured columns of Fushimi Inari Shrine in scenic Southern Kyoto, so get right on that. This famous landmark keeps company with the district’s other must-see attractions, including the huge monthly market at Toji and Gekkeikan Okura Sake Museum, which is…well…pretty much exactly what the name indicates. Learn about the history and production of your favourite rice wine and sip some samples, too. For science!
When it comes to hospitality and dining, Kyoto is king—but not a normal king, a cool king. The nightlife and restaurant scene reflects the city’s quieter and more laid-back atmosphere. You’ll find plenty of Kyoto boutique accommodation and mouth-watering cuisine in Central Kyoto, especially along the waterfront Pontocho Alley. Find an outdoor table looking out over the Kamo River and order a spread of kaiseki ryori—a regional tasting menu featuring everything from ornate starters and sashimi to pickles and savoury custard.
