Nestled on the banks of the crystal clear Kamo River and within walking distance of major city attractions, Genji Kyoto enjoys the best of both worlds - tranquil neighborhood and central location. All rooms have river, city or tsubo garden views that soothe the mind and pamper the senses, and 9 of the riverside rooms have balconies with breathtaking panorama. Gion, Pontocho, Nishiki Market, Shijo, Kyoto Station shopping and the scenic Kiyomizu area are just 20 minutes walk away.
