Kyoto and related destinations

Between ancient temples and modern manga museums, Kyoto reveals itself through contrasts. Wander through vermillion gates at Fushimi Inari Shrine, where thousands of torii create tunnels of orange against green mountainside. Geisha hurry through narrow Gion streets at dusk, their white-painted faces glimpsed briefly before disappearing into exclusive teahouses. The golden pavilion of Kinkaku-ji appears to float on its reflecting pond, somehow more impressive than any photograph suggests. Nishiki Market offers bizarre delicacies and perfect ceramics in equal measure. Don't miss Arashiyama's bamboo grove, where morning light filters through impossibly tall stalks creating a green cathedral effect that explains why the Japanese find spirituality in nature.

Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto

Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed at NOHGA Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto for four nights, and it was an excellent base for our time in the city. The hotel has a modern, thoughtful atmosphere, while the location puts you close to Kiyomizu-dera, Gion and the historic streets of Higashiyama. We loved being able to start sightseeing early and return easily after long days exploring Kyoto on foot. The hotel also received our forwarded luggage without any issues and made the next hotel-to-hotel shipment straightforward, which was especially valuable during a multi-city trip. NOHGA offered exactly the mix of character, convenience and calm that we wanted in Kyoto. We would readily recommend it, particularly to first-time visitors who want to stay near the city’s most atmospheric neighborhoods rather than around Kyoto Station."
