Kyoto Hotels near Okazaki Shrine

I can’t help but thinking this is the best hotel in Kyoto!

I stayed at the Tassel hotel 6 nights in September 2025.
I really liked the hotel: it’s comfortable, clean, nice and modern, with a great location to visit Kyoto and helpful staff.

A very comfortable hotel.

Our family of four greatly enjoyed our stay at Hotel Mastay. Fairly spacious room with four beds and nice amenities like a washer/dryer.

My wife and I stayed at the Hotel Higashiyama in Kyoto for several days and really enjoyed our stay. Our room layout was nice, and although not very large, the layout made it feel big and not cramped.

Only stayed one night in this hotel and it was appreciated by my partner and I.
First, the GHA Platinum membership was recognized through the room upgrade.

Pros: The rooms are very comfortable and well designed, with a small fridge included. The bathroom and shower are separated, which is really convenient.

Spacious rooms with all the amenities you’ll need — plus a fridge and a microwave! The bath was the highlight for us though! Quiet area and the rooms were nicely decorated.

Room condition was greatly good, very spacious and clean. Kitchen cutlets were nice and washing machine was perfect. Twin beds were little bit hard, but it's good.

We stayed here for 2 nights in April during cherry blossom season (2 adults, 2 children under 8) and absolutely loved it. I was initially a bit worried as there hadn’t been many recent reviews, but I

A gem of a hotel in Kyoto. The area is absolutely beautiful, with a shallow tiny river where we were greeted by a grey heron each day. The walk to subway and bus is short.

A wonderful hotel. The room was perfect, everything we needed and a lovely view over the neighbouring stream.

The Hotel is in a good place. 30 mins walking from good and beautiful temples.
Theres a family mart close to It.
The owner Kei is a good person and very kind, and helps you on everything.

Nice little hotel in a quiet neighborhood. There is a buss stop nearby and the trip to the centre of Kyoto takes ~30 minutes.
Staff were super nice, they helped us to send our baggage to Tokyo.

Love our stay here! While we did rely on buses and the subway to get around Kyoto, we actually enjoyed staying in this area.

Beautiful hotel. We had a big, bright room for an amazing price right in the heart of the city. Several subway stops nearby, and several bus routes. Many sites within a 15 or 20 minute walk.

The hotel is great and has a really great location. The room is a bit too small for 4 people but for Japanese standards it’s okay. We really wished there was a accessible table.

I just moved from a 4 star to this 3 star and the beds are bigger, comfier and the room is more spacious. Self check in was simple, Wi-Fi works and AC too.

This hotel/ryokan is a hidden gem. Beautiful decor and amenities. Wonderful staff that make one feel like family; they are exceptionally polite and helpful in every way.

We are just grabbing our taxi to Kyoto station. This was one of the most pleasurable stays I have had by far.

Our initial experience at a ryokan was thoroughly enjoyable.

Had a great time here. Honestly no idea how this place is priced this way but it feels like a 350 per night ryokan for 1/3 the cost.

Super duper recommend this place. I don't say it often, but this is a hidden gem.

The room is very nice because have the tatami bed and that I like the most is the service and the location is very good because the hotel give us manga to read and the place near fresco the

Just enjoyed our 5D4N at Kyoto & we stayed at Hiz Hotel Gion Shirakawa as our base. Very charming apartment hotel.

We recently spent 7 days (6 nights) at STAY Sakura Kyoto Higashiyama Shirakawa in mid-April.

We stayed here for 5 nights and loved it!
Laundry in the room was amazing. Big comfy rooms. Nice bathroom areas.
The location is great!

Friendliest people I’ve stayed with. The house was beautiful, clean. The bed were Japanese traditional style which made the stay such a great experience.

Such a great place to stay! Big thanks to the owners who dropped us off the train station after check out. A really wonderful experience in kyoto!

Great location,
Great property with an authentic feeling, friendly host, amazing shower.

Traditional feel. Neighborhood is quiet and quant with cute cafe next to a brooke nearby.

Beautiful Japanese traditional style accommodation with 7 guest rooms.
The signs and info sheets are beautifully drawn by the owner. Various items can be borrowed for free (ie.

The photos do not mislead! This guesthouse is very special: The owner, Yuki, and her daughter and staff were so kind, generous and patient.

We stayed in this house in Kyoto for a few days and couldn’t have made a better choice. The hosts were truly exceptional: always available and quick to respond to any need.

Lovely. The hosts were kind and welcoming and the home was very well located and really really quaint. It made for a unique and memorable stay.

Cosy little stay. Feels like your own home and like you’re part of the family.
Very clean. Excellent owners who are very friendly.

If you’re looking to experience a traditional ryokan with the luxuries of modern Japan (Airco, great shower, etc) look no further. A really amazing and magical place.

Yuko was very helpful and spoke great English. So getting settled in was a breeze. Also very helpful giving directions and a quick run down of everything the neighborhood had to offer.

Yuko-san was kind, knowledgeable and made herself very available for questions. Very friendly and perfect English.
