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.

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.

  • The apartment was much nicer than I expected. Everything was immaculate, the bathroom is quite large for a studio apartment, and everything was smartly laid out. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed for cooking. The location is terrific, just a 5 minute walk to the Gojozaka bus stop. Kyoto has a fantastic bus system which calls out stops in Japanese and English, and the No. 100 bus stops at many of the major sites. I would highly recommend staying at this place.

  • My husband stayed at the Gion Apartments mid October. We were both impressed with the quality and presentation and size of the apartment. The pictures on the website lived up to expectation. It was great to know we had our apartment to come home to after our long days of sightseeing. So much better than staying in an hotel.The location was handy to all that we wanted - PO for ATM, convenience stores for quick pick up of necessities, subway lines and several temple complexes. All communication with Curtis was professional but friendly a pleasure to deal with. All in all a wonderful experience in a wonderful city. My only suggestion would be to include a dining table for meals.

  • 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.
