The 2-star Inn Kawashima Kyoto provides proximity to the flatland Nijo Castle, which is located nearly a 25-minute walk away. Boasting a location merely 600 metres from Nishiki Market, this Kyoto ryokan features 6 rooms as well as a luggage room.
The hotel is nestled in a prime touristic area of Kyoto, around 10 minutes on foot from Rock'n Plaza. Also, the historic Kennin-ji Zen Buddhist Temple is in the vicinity of the Inn Kawashima Kyoto. Explore the historical sights of Kyoto, starting with the Kyoto Imperial Palace situated 2.4 km away. Guests will find themselves 400 m from Shijo tube station, and approximately a 5-minute ride from the Yasaka Shrine.
The rooms have climate control, as well as tea and coffee making facilities for your convenience.
A Japanese breakfast is served here every morning. Situated a stone's throw from Inn Kawashima, the restaurant Tonshabu Hide offers an Asian menu.
Review by hotel critic
My two-night stay at Inn Kawashima was an enchanting experience that truly immersed me in the local culture of Kyoto. The ryokan's central location in Gion allowed easy access to nearby restaurants and cultural sites, making it perfect for my explorations. I was welcomed by lovely staff and a clean, tranquil room adorned with traditional Japanese futons, which were surprisingly comfortable and provided a sense of warmth that resonated with my archaeological appreciation for cultural nuances. The charming indoor garden offered a serene space to unwind, and the delightful tea and traditional biscuits in my room were a wonderful touch, echoing the hospitality I often encounter during my travels in the Middle East. It's worth noting that while the shared bathrooms and minimalistic design might not suit everyone, they certainly enhanced my authentic Japanese experience-reminding me of the importance of connection to one's surroundings, much like the ancient communities I've studied. I highly recommend Inn Kawashima for anyone seeking a true taste of Japan's rich heritage, whether traveling solo or with family.
