I really enjoyed this hotel. Compared to general room sizes in Japan, my room had great space and it was kind of a traditionally designed place. All the amenities offered were high quality and the room was so clean. Staff is very helpful. Location is also great, 6 minutes walking distance to Sanjo station and it was mostly flat. I will for sure stay here when I visit Kyoto again. Thank you!

Fuji is beautiful!

We stayed in a room for 3. 2 beds as normal and one on a mezzanine up some ladders- steep so be prepared! The staff were great. The water was lovely. The view of Mt. Fuji from so close by was great. The recommended pizza place sounded excellent but it had sold out quite early as it is very small. The bakery down the road is lovely. Access to views of Fuji are great and the lake was lovely too.

Wonderful stay in Kyoto

This was such a cozy hotel in the heart of the Gion district of Kyoto. The location is perfect for anyone wanting to escape the city and have a relaxing time wondering the streets of Kyoto! Our room was decorated beautifully and the staff was highly accommodating. This is a hidden gem! Book immediately! *(A short walk to and from the train station!)*

I had the pleasure of staying at Gion Misen Furumonzen, and I must say it was a truly exceptional experience. From the moment I arrived, I was captivated by the charm and tranquility of this wonderful establishment. The highlight of my stay was undoubtedly the garden view room. If it's available, don't hesitate to choose it! The view was absolutely breathtaking, with lush greenery and a serene atmosphere that instantly whisked me away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. I found myself spending hours simply gazing out of the window, savoring the peacefulness of the garden. The attention to detail at Gion Misen Furumonzen is truly commendable. The room itself was impeccably clean and tastefully decorated, blending traditional Japanese aesthetics with modern comforts seamlessly. The tatami flooring and sliding paper doors added an authentic touch to the experience. The staff at the hotel were exceptionally warm and attentive, making me feel like a valued guest from the moment I arrived. They were always ready to assist with any inquiries or requests, and their genuine hospitality enhanced my overall stay. The location of the hotel in the historic Gion district was perfect for exploring Kyoto's cultural treasures, with many attractions and dining options within walking distance. After a day of sightseeing, returning to the peaceful oasis of Gion Misen Furumonzen was a true pleasure. My stay at Gion Misen Furumonzen was an unforgettable experience, and I

The perfect location! A short walk to some amazing restaurants and attractions, whilst still being in a very quiet street. Staff were great, hotel was cozy and quiet, more traditional bedding lower to the floor so just be mindful if you have back issues. No issues for us, super comfy stay and for 4 nights it was ideal for us.

Great hotel hidden in great location

While the surrounding area almost made my wife turn around (neighboring buildings looked rundown). While entering the hotel she was quickly calmed. The hotel and room itself was very clean and everything looked pristine and new. Best location with just a few meters to gion the beautiful gion street and a few minute walk to food and shopping.

Excellent séjour à Kyoto

Excellent petit hôtel dans un quartier calme et très interessant avec petites rues, petits restaurants et magasins mais pas loin d’animation de Kyoto. Chambre très confortable avec excellent espace sanitaire très propre et bien équipé. Personnel très attentif. Petit déjeuner occidental simple mais bon avec option japonais en réservant à l’hôtel partenaire à cinq minutes de marche. Nous recommandons sans hésitation.

I stayed here for two nights over my honeymoon two years ago and was over the moon about this location. Therefore, when we came back to fully experience Kyoto we thought coming back here was a no-brainer. We were wrong. Therr were several spiders in our room, room cleaning was very minimal (they only replaced the body towels and disposables as well as emptying the trashcans), the room was extremely dusty and dirty (coffee stains) on the walls and ceilings, they also never refilled our water. Unsure if and how things have changed, but for the price I don’t think I would recommend for a long stay. For a short stay, the space is nice and very spacious with a large tub which was nice after all the walking.

This small hotel located on a quiet street in Gion. It is very convenient to walk to different tourist spots in central Kyoto and just a min walk to subway and regional train stations. The room is small but clean and neat. Bathroom is well equipped and nice for whole day of walking. Staff are helpful and friendly. I would love to stay here again.
