We recently had the pleasure of extending our stay in Kyoto and decided to move to Kabin Taka after a wonderful experience at Kabin Koji, their sister property. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the seamless transition and the exceptional hospitality at both hotels. The staff was incredibly accommodating and went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. One of the standout features of our stay was how spacious the rooms were, especially compared to the typical hotel rooms in Japan. There was actually enough room to fully open our suitcases, which made packing and unpacking so much easier and more comfortable. The room was beautifully appointed with modern amenities and offered a relaxing ambiance that made it feel like a true home away from home. Another thoughtful touch that stood out was the option to stow our luggage in secure area after check-out, complete with locks. This made it so much easier for us to explore Kyoto without having to worry about our bags. The location was ideal, with easy access to local attractions, and we especially appreciated the attention to detail throughout the hotel. Overall, our stay was nothing short of amazing. We are already looking forward to booking again on our next trip to Kyoto! Highly recommend it to anyone seeking a memorable and comfortable stay in the city.

Asai Kyoto Shijo really showcased modern Japanese hospitality at its peak. You don’t need the over-the-top attention of a 5-star hotel where staff attend to your every move. Here, everything you need is thoughtfully prepared and ready for you to handle yourself. It’s clear the hotel understood the assignment when designing the space - it’s all about being customer-centric. The rooms are compact but so smartly laid out that they feel anything but small. Every detail has been carefully considered, and the high-quality amenities make your stay effortless and comfortable. It’s the kind of place where you can tell they’ve thought about what travelers actually need. The vibe is a perfect mix of international energy and old Kyoto charm. The staff were amazing, especially Phuong, the Vietnamese receptionist, who was incredibly warm and accommodating. She went out of her way to make my stay more enjoyable.

We have stayed at nearly 20 different hotels over the last few years of travelling to Japan, but this has been the best one yet! - Location is perfect, as it is situated on a quiet street so we always felt well rested, but only a 5 minute walk to Nishiki Market, Life supermarket, and plenty of shopping, department stores, and restaurants within walking distance. We barely needed to take public transit - Very clean and calming atmosphere, right from the moment you step in. Everything is thoughtfully and tastefully decorated and designed with comfort, quality, and elegance in mind. Even the hotel bathrooms were stunning and spotless! - Hotel amenities were excellent! Elevators were nearly instant as there are fewer guests in a boutique hotel. The lounge was the best we’ve ever experienced, with a generous selection of snacks and drinks in a quiet and relaxing environment - Rooms are very spacious and had plenty of space for luggage. Bathrooms are beautifully appointed and feel like a spa - ample counter space, split bathroom design, and relaxing rain shower - Small thoughtful details show a commitment to quality, such as plush slippers, high quality teas from our favourite Ippodo Tea in the room - Staff was so wonderful and treated us with so much warmth and consideration! They moved our luggage to our rooms for us prior to us checking in, and even helped my mother in law prepare fruit for us! We have never experienced service that went above and beyond like this - thank you very much for making our trip so wonderful and memorable, our whole family is grateful! We hope to stay here again soon!

    The location is good, the lobby has a relaxed atmosphere, and the Gion Festival music is really understated and elegant. The staff at both check-in and check-out were quick to work and friendly. The room was clean and the bed was my preferred firmness for a good night's sleep. Bottles of drinking water were also provided, which was helpful. The reception staff at the breakfast room was also sophisticated and helpful. I believe there were several breakfast items that were probably home-cooked Kyoto food. They were a little sweet for me, but I enjoyed the Kyoto flavor. I think that many people would probably find a hotel in Shijo more convenient than Kyoto Station, depending on their destination, but since I was attending a conference near Kyoto Station, it was the best option for me.

We watched the sunset at the nearby river while drinking coffee, had walked throught the streets of Gion at night, walked through temples in the morning. Starbucks at 1st floor and outside is full of japanese street foods. Good hotel breakfast, the rooms were clean and big enough, good ammenities. Loved my stay here for 5days in Kyoto.

The view from the rooftop was beautiful. All the little details gave the hotel a lot of character. And yes, the room was spacious and the beds were super comfy.

    Arashiyama (Bamboo Grove) - Go in the afternoon, its not as crowded Otagi Nenbutsuji Temple - a bit of a challenge to get here but was worth the challenge and was refreshing to get away from the city. Kinkaku-ji (Golden Pravillion) - A must for anyone going to Kyoto but be prepared for crowds at any time. Saryo Tsujiri Tea House - go here but leave time to line up and dine in. We had to do take away and was a little sad about this. Wander around the main streets of Kawaramachi Station and Gion on a Friday or Saturday night and along Kamon River. See people enjoying their evening, buskers and the night life. Unimpressed by Pontoncho Alley both during the day and night. There are better things to check out.

    Miyazu which includes Amanohashidate, is one of three natural sites in Japan. The land bridge spans across the sea is fun to view from the observation points (on both sides) and you can actually bike (20 minutes) or walk (50 minutes) one way across. A small town with lots of charm and beauty.

    Kyoto is a lovely place to visit, however it is very crowded. We found the 3 different train services, difficult to understand. We tended to use the JR local train network as it was easier for us to locate the stations near where we wanted to visit. We also found the buses a good way to travel around the city.

    I especially recommend it to travelers from overseas. If you are sightseeing in Kyoto, Nara, or Osaka for a few days, staying at this facility and using Kameoka as your base will be the best way to travel to Kansai. Like taking a day trip from your home. If your schedule is 2 nights and 3 days or 3 nights and 4 days, it is definitely a good deal even if you add transportation expenses. You can't stay in a house in Kyoto or Nara.

    Nishiki market is fantastic albeit a bit busy.

    Nishiki market is fantastic albeit a bit busy. Recommend getting food there during the afternoon for snacks. TeamLABS is incredible - well worth a visit! Visit as many temples as you can. Gion district and philosophers path is a good full days walk but good fun for those that like wandering. Fushimi inari taisha must be visited outside of hours. We went at 3pm thinking it would start to quieten down and it absolutely didn’t. However, if you don’t mind the steps it very quiet at the top! Always book food in advance - we forgot to book a restaurant on the last night and it was a bit of a struggle (we were quite tired though). Take advantage of Kyoto day travel pass - we only noticed this on the last evening having spent most of the time on public transport! Arashiyama Bamboo forest isn’t really worth it - it’s quite short and only worth seeing if you get there very early. The gardens around arashiyama are very nice though.
