The hotel’s central location makes it easy to explore Kyoto's rich cultural heritage. Visit historical sites like the Imperial Palace, Gion, the famous Geisha district, Kinkaku-ji (Golden Pavilion) or Kiyomizu (Pure Water) Temple, which is famous as its main hall was built without the use of any kind of joiners.
