It was a cosy well appointed boutique hotel in a quiet area of North Higashiyama. We could walk to Gion, downtown to Kawaramachi on the left and Okazaki and the famous temples and zoo on the right of the hotel. The walks were lovely. The staff were warm and attentive to our needs. Service standards were high. Special thanks to Ogawasan for preparing us a wholesome and generous breakfast which served us well on our walks and climbs to a number of shrines on hilltops! Thank you for the conversations which we enjoyed absolutely. Till we meet again, arigatogozai masta.
Nothing really!

As much as we wish we could keep this gem a secret for ourselves, the world deserves to know about this incredible place, and Higashiyama Shikikaboku deserves to be recognized for its world-class service and accommodations. Higashiyama Skikikaboku is more than a hotel; it is a beautifully designed experience. The rooms are well-appointed and peaceful, with small touches reflecting a great attention to detail. We loved having breakfast each day in the bright downstairs dining space, drinking in the view from the rooftop at sunset, and enjoying evening soaks in the private open-air onsen after a long day of sightseeing.
It’s a gorgeous, clean, relaxing space. But what truly elevates Higashiyama Shikikaboku is the service. From check-in to check-out and every moment in-between, the staff provided us with a seamless and luxurious experience. The staff was warm and friendly and happy to answer all of our questions, curate local recommendations, and take care of details on our behalf such as calling taxis and arranging luggage forwarding. We have never been so well taken care of, and we are so grateful to every single member of the staff’s genuine care and delight in being part of our journey.
Being an LGBTQ+ couple traveling on our honeymoon, my wife and I weren’t always sure how we would be received if we disclosed our reason for traveling. I’m so glad we told Higashiyama Shikikaboku, because the staff was immediately affirming and overjoyed when they learned of the special event. They made us feel immediately comfortable and welcome from the second we walked through the doors, and were so happy to celebrate with us. They went above and beyond to give us a special and memorable stay. We had a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience as guests and will certainly be customers for life. Thank you for everything!
Everything was perfect!

We loved the location. it was near most of the Kyoto attractions. Our family prefers to walk so it was perfect for us to explore the city from this hotel.
The staff was very accommodating and excellent at providing the restaurant recommendations.
We were absolutely delighted with the party they threw on the roof the last night of the Obon holiday.
There was absolutely nothing to complain about. It was the best hotel we stayed in Japan
