The Gion Apartments are in a modern apartment complex, constructed in 2006. This accommodation is modern and basic, yet perfectly comfortable and well-located in the center of Kyoto in the prime location of Gion. Four of the units are made available for short-term vacation rental (minimum 7 nights), so this situation can be ideal for groups traveling together.

Provided for your comfort are two twin beds, with an additional single futon available upon request. In addition there is a sofa with coffee table, fully equipped kitchen, and washer and dryer. Also there is a television as well as high-speed Internet connection.

Most of the furniture, bedroom, kitchen and bath accessories are from Muji, the Japanese purveyor of basic yet contemporary household furnishings, which now has stores overseas.

Please note that units are all the same size, with two slightly different floorplans (refer to photos.) Room types are assigned by availability and cannot be requested.

The location is Gion, the historic geisha quarters in the center of Kyoto. This is a perfect launching point for tourists, with easy access to temples and numerous tourist attractions, restaurants, and shopping.

  • My wife and I had a great stay in the Gion apartment. It's located a 10-minute walk south of Gion Corner. The facilities are modern and comfortable, and the building is quiet. Self check-in makes it easy to get your key. Great communications from Curtis and Ayako-- highly recommended!

  • Great apartment in excellent location in Gion/Kyoto. We stayed there with our two little kids (2+5) in July 2009 and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Very comfortable and everything there that we needed. We will definitely stay there again.

  • We would highly recommend this apartment. It is very comfortable and in a great location. We loved the apartment, the location, and most of all, we loved our visit to Kyoto and the rest of Japan. Thank you so much for the wonderful accommodations. This trip will leave us with incredible memories, and we hope to visit Japan again in the future.

  • We really enjoyed our stay at the apartment - it was a perfect base for exploring Kyoto - Gion is fantastic. We also enjoyed the Japanese talking bath! We will definitely stay here again when we come back to Kyoto and we will recommend it to our friends!

  • I don't want to duplicate previous comments other than to say that I look forward to staying in apartment again next time I visit Kyoto. I have suggested that friends/family consider staying in the apartment should they visit Kyoto.

  • Wonderful apartment for our stay in Kyoto. My wife and I stayed here with our two children, aged 3 and eight months for two weeks and found it a great home base. The apartment is very well finished and with some amazing mod-cons (like the talking bath). Size-wise it's compact but the space is sufficient and efficiently used. We stayed in August so the heat in Kyoto was stifling so the air-con was always a 'welcome home' treat. Location is excellent and I highly recommend visiting the stunning nearby temples in the evening, after all the tour buses have left, and you can truly enjoy the zen spirit.

  • These apartments are a great base for any Kyoto trip. Clean, includes critical AC for the summer, and conveniently located. Plus there is a ramenya right around the corner... Curtis and Ayako were very helpful, our party would definitely use this place again.

  • Stayed at the Gion Apartments during our trip to Kyoto and found it was everything we were looking for. Was easy to stay in with out 8 month old infant, and accessible to all the major sites we were interested in seeing. Would definitely stay here again!

  • Stayed during Gion Matsuri and loved it. We were able to walk to the parade and the location was extremely convenient for access to bus/subway. We also stayed in Takayama, Matsumoto, Tokyo, Osaka and Hakone. All nice accommodations but the Gion Apartment was our favorite place to stay.

  • Our family rented 2 apartments. Wonderful and spacious apartments with all the conveniences of home! Very convenient to have self check-in and check out. The location was convenient to restaurants (several block walk) and food markets. We also felt it was a great location to visit many temples on our itinerary. Would highly recommend!!
