Fuji is beautiful!
We stayed in a room for 3. 2 beds as normal and one on a mezzanine up some ladders- steep so be prepared! The staff were great. The water was lovely. The view of Mt. Fuji from so close by was great. The recommended pizza place sounded excellent but it had sold out quite early as it is very small. The bakery down the road is lovely. Access to views of Fuji are great and the lake was lovely too.

The hotel was hard to find since the name was written in small letters on a hanging banner. However, the hotel was centrally located and provided maps. The room was spacious and had a low bed.

Charming little hotel in northern Gion. Super convenient location for us during our stay in Kyoto, as it’s within walking distance of Gion and Higashiyama. And with Sanjo station nearby, making trips to other parts of Kyoto, as well as Nara and Osaka, was also easy. Thanks for helping to make our first trip to Kyoto unforgettable!

The best place we stayed while on our trip. We will be staying here every time we visit Kyoto in the future. The room was great, just enough space and gave that Japanese experience with the feel of Western amenities. The staff was incredible, answering a lot of our questions about Japan. Close to the subway station, close to the bus station; overall I can't recommend this place enough.

Cozy Stay in Gion
We lived this cozy hotel. The staff was very friendly and helped us with our restaurant booking and other recommendations in the city. Hotel is almost brand new. Rooms are japanese style but with a modern touch. We booked a room with onsen style bathtub and loved it. The metro connection is not a direct line to kyoto station as it is in Gion but it was absolutely worth staying here! There was also a 24/7 open Lawson store right across

Great location, most things are walkable. The room itself is ok, the hotel is generous enough to give us upgrade to a garden room but it’s not really a garden just a space between buildings that had couple plants that’s smaller than a normal balcony, because the garden room is on ground floor surrounded by high buildings so you never got to see the sky and it’s dark. The mattress is on the floor but the floor has some funny smell kinda smell like dirty feet. All the staffs are super friendly and nice, but the restaurant recommendation are questionable. So make sure do your homework, they are happy to help you to make reservations.

The hotel is located in Gion on a quiet street . Walkable to a lot of temples and Gion tourist shopping street is also very close. Fish market and restaurants are right across the river. The room is comfortable, was upgraded to a garden view but it’s not really a garden if it’s only a 3 feet deep garden ousdie of the window that facing walls of other buildings, you can never see the sky in that room. We usually call that room with no view. The only problem tho is that if you want late check out will be a charge but there’s no storage for luggages. You can only leave them at a corner unattended which doesn’t seem so safe. Staffs are friendly

Cosy and convenient hotel with friendly staff
It’s a cosy hotel to stay in Kyoto which is near to Yasaka Shrine, Nishiki Market, shopping areas and train stations. Staff are friendly and speak good English. Will definitely stay here again when I come back to Kyoto.

Wonderful stay in Kyoto
This was such a cozy hotel in the heart of the Gion district of Kyoto. The location is perfect for anyone wanting to escape the city and have a relaxing time wondering the streets of Kyoto! Our room was decorated beautifully and the staff was highly accommodating. This is a hidden gem! Book immediately! *(A short walk to and from the train station!)*

I had the pleasure of staying at Gion Misen Furumonzen, and I must say it was a truly exceptional experience. From the moment I arrived, I was captivated by the charm and tranquility of this wonderful establishment. The highlight of my stay was undoubtedly the garden view room. If it's available, don't hesitate to choose it! The view was absolutely breathtaking, with lush greenery and a serene atmosphere that instantly whisked me away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. I found myself spending hours simply gazing out of the window, savoring the peacefulness of the garden. The attention to detail at Gion Misen Furumonzen is truly commendable. The room itself was impeccably clean and tastefully decorated, blending traditional Japanese aesthetics with modern comforts seamlessly. The tatami flooring and sliding paper doors added an authentic touch to the experience. The staff at the hotel were exceptionally warm and attentive, making me feel like a valued guest from the moment I arrived. They were always ready to assist with any inquiries or requests, and their genuine hospitality enhanced my overall stay. The location of the hotel in the historic Gion district was perfect for exploring Kyoto's cultural treasures, with many attractions and dining options within walking distance. After a day of sightseeing, returning to the peaceful oasis of Gion Misen Furumonzen was a true pleasure. My stay at Gion Misen Furumonzen was an unforgettable experience, and I
