Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto
The hotel staff was lovely and very welcoming. The property was extremely clean and well maintained, and the atmosphere made me feel like I was staying at a resort. The bedroom was spacious and very comfortable, which made the stay even more enjoyable. My only concern was the lack of storage space ...

THE HOTEL HIGASHIYAMA KYOTO TOKYU, A Pan Pacific Hotel
The staff was so nice and went above and beyond to make sure that there was no wait time, the elevator door was open as I walked up, and always had a smile. I don’t speak fluent Japanese and they helped me through every process and questions I had. The rooms were spacious and elegant.
