Gion is an atmospheric area full of old wooden houses, restaurants, and traditional shops. It's one of the few places in all of Japan where you can still easily see geisha on the street. There are many narrow side-streets throughout the area, with plenty of places to explore. Finding food is not a problem, since many restaurants and noodle shops are to be found nearby. In addition, several supermarkets and convenience stores are withing walking distance.

Gion Apartments

Review Submitted: December 2, 2009 Date of Stay: November 2009
We liked the location of the flat, it was really conveniently located. A terrific plus having a washing machine for laundry! Beds are on the firm side, but I guess most beds are in Japan. I would bring my own pillow next time. Only down side was when we "checked in" to the flat, it wasn't cleaned. Maybe it was a public holiday, but still, not a good excuse. We rang the contact person in Kyoto and she got it sorted by the time we returned. On the whole, it was a very decent place.

Quiet location in best area

Review Submitted: November 15, 2009 Date of Stay: November 2008
Everything is this modern apartment made our week in Kyoto perfect. Booking, check-in, and all instructions were clear and easy. We used Yakusa Taxi from airport to get there with no trouble, return on the express train was easy and fast. We loved the electronic appliances and all the English labels made them easy to operate. My husband could sleep in while I got up and closed doors to sleeping area, made coffee ( I brought my own "Peets" ground coffee), and used the high speed internet.
Nearby convenience stores, supermarket & fruit markets got us set up for the week quickly. 7-11 (3 min walk on) has an international ATM for cash. Some of the nicest temples and shrines are walking distance & nearby bus/subway routes got us everywhere. For walkers or runners the river trail is few blocks away, migrating birds there ,too. This location is perfect for just strolling the old streets, viewing a geisha and experiencing the magic of Kyoto. I would love to stay again and would recommend this apartment highly.

Nice n comfortable

BabyPing Singapore, singapore
Review Submitted: November 3, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
We were there with our 9 months old, so we needed a service apartment with a microwave oven n cooking facilities. This apartment has it all and it is nice and comfortable. 7-11 is 5 mins walk while Lawson is 10 (just above e train station). We had some difficulties locating it when we got to Kyoto and it did not have any bus stop along Gojo-Dori making it relatively difficult to move around unless you decide to walk. It's 20 mins walk to Gion n we were lucky to catch the sight of some Geisha.

The Magic of Kyoto

Big+Al Antwerp, Belgium
Review Submitted: August 14, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
The apartment is small by western standards, but fine for Japan. The shower and washing machine were easy to use and efficient. The arrangements for entry on arrival, which involved no human intervention, worried us but worked perfectly. The location is ideal, very close to Gion, the geisha district, with its unique atmosphere, as well as to many temples and other sights. There are plenty of reasonably-priced restaurants, convenience stores and souvenir shops in the neighbourhood too.

Gion Kyoto

An&Ja Montreal, Quebec, Canada
Review Submitted: August 11, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
We had a fabulous stay overall in Japan. Our stay in Kyoto was comfortable and we found the location very convenient for visiting all the sites. Many sites were easily reached within walking distance. Buses were close by so getting around was a breeze.
The binder with useful information (esp. the location of the grocery store, suggested walking tours, bus routes) was very much appreciated. The beds were very comfortable and we slept well.

Booking the apartment, checking in and out were all done with ease.

The owner even assited us in booking for reserved visit to the moss garden!


A delightful stay! We highly recommend this apartment.
