Cross Hotel Kyoto sits right on the Takase River in the thick of downtown, a five minute walk from the action on Gion's doorstep and close to some of the city's best restaurants and late night bars. The design throughout channels traditional Japanese craftsmanship with a playful modern edge, and the concierge team runs one of the better local experience programmes we've seen, connecting guests with Kyoto's artisan workshops and hidden neighbourhood gems.
