Very cool unique rooms. Short walk to all tourist spots and many good restaurants, but far enough away so its quiet to sleep. Very highly recommended

Hanamikoji-dori seems to be the go-to spot when tourist visits Gion. You'll find lots of foreigners here wearing traditional Japanese kimono. They all don't come here without a reason, as the street is pleasantly wonderful to stroll around, whether day/night. If you're lucky you'll spot a Maiko on her way. Authentic Japanese restaurants and cafes on your left and right will surely gives you a unique experience. Most of them comes with a high priced menu here.

Absolutely must to see! There are special lecture about the museum history free of charges held twice a day at B2 floor, there is free audio interpreter if you didn't understand Japanese much. There is also audio guide available for the rest of the museum 550 yen, which also recommended. You can't speak loudly or taking photos inside exhibition Building but you can freely take photo outside. Meiji building can't be entered for now

We stumbled across this coffee shop while exploring the less touristy areas of Kyoto. Such a gem - it is a creator's space full of designers and students working on projects. We were just enjoying some coffee, and appreciated all of the comfy seating they had. I wish we discovered this place sooner during our stay! Highly recommend. Thanks!
