The Hotel is very clean and in a super great location, you can just walk to Gion and to all the main places in Kyoto. You also have a bus stop just downstairs to get to the further temples. The breakfast is super basic but you also have a convenient shop just downstairs. The staff is very nice and the room was quite spacious and very well organized with the bathroom being splittet with WC Room and Shower Room.

The property has much bigger rooms than you find in Japanese hotels. It can easily fit a couple and both of them can open their suitcases comfortably. The room design is good. The hand wash area is separated from the bathing area/toilet. The property is located in a quiet area but a 5-6 minutes walk and you can reach Kawaramachi which is the main shopping area with loads of options to eat, shop. The temples are not far away from this place. Gion which is the Geisha district is just a kilometre walk. Staff is excellent and very very helpful. Whenever I’ll be back to Kyoto, for sure I’ll stay at this place.

The hotel was cozy, had night lighting, ambience, the bed was so comfy, the wifi was fast, there was nice hot shower and bathroom shampoo, soap, amenities, and the buffet breakfast was so good; There was udon, fish, nice croquettes, , duck loin, pasta, cereals, and coffee. Location was a 10; Right in the heart of Gion-shijo and near the Yasaka Shrine and the Kawamachi street where Ben's cookies (The best cookies in Japan!), all the restaurants and near the sakura mocchi store where they sell probably the most delicious mocchi in Japan.

    Obviously, the best feature is the range of onsens and the main ones in the caves next to the ocean. A great experience. Excellent and friendly staff in all areas. Range and quality of food in dinner and breakfast buffet was good. Not a modern resort complex with some exterior parts in need of refurbishing but it has a long history which adds to its charm.

    We only stayed one night when we arrived as we needed a place to recharge and freshen up before we head to Kyoto. The hotel is very nice with complete amenities in the room. The room we occupied has the view of the airport runway but we never heard any noise coming from the airplanes arriving and taking off. A bit expensive but it was worth it. Breakfast buffet was very good too.

    After staying in Kyoto, it was refreshing to stay in a smaller, quieter city for a couple of days. Himeji, had ample malls and restaurants to satisfy the needs of all tourists and yet has a nice small city feel. We saw the castle in the afternoon, and didn't encounter large crowds. The Koko-en Garden was relatively quiet when we saw it in the morning.

    The scenic mountains near the city offers stunning sunset views. The Sakura were in full bloom. There are several parks around the city, and the impressive Wakayama castle. The hotel (Candeo Hotels Nankai) is great value - fantastic river views, rooftop onsen that you can enjoy the sunset. And right at the Wakayama Station. Good dining options around the hotel too.

    We are Americans so we had really little knowledge of Shirahama as a resort city. It was at the tail end of a 3 week tour of Japan and was very restful. Fortunately, we were there after Golden Week and before the main tourist season, so it was quiet and relaxing. We had fun over two nights at a local Turkish restaurant, Blue Bar. We'd recommend it. Also, the beach seemed quite nice although we had one day or rain so we didn't hang out there. While this wouldn't be a regular stop for Americans, I think it is worthwhile and an easy train ride to the airport in Osaka.

    One of Japan's six ancient kiln towns. If you are into ceramics it's a brilliant place to visit. If you're not, it's a lovely, relaxed town with nice walks and good places to eat. Very close to Nagoya airport. There is a free shuttle bus into Tokoname or use the station. Home of the lucky waving cat - Maneki Neko!

    We loved our trip here. Little did I know, I seem to enjoy travelling in a pretty laid-back city and Ise was just perfect for that. If you're craving for a small city experience, out from the other international travelers, I'd recommend Ise for sure.
