karaku Inn  

In Higashiyama, Kyoto — a short stroll from Chion-in and Shoren-in. Minutes from Kiyomizu-dera, Heian Shrine and the Kyoto Imperial Palace, with Gion and Shijo Street within easy walking distance.

This compact vacation home offers two individually decorated guestrooms with garden views and a modern-meets-traditional vibe. Rooms feature kitchenettes (refrigerator, stovetop, microwave), flat-screen TVs with premium channels, a desk, and private bathrooms — some with separate bathtubs and deep soaking tubs. Staff speak English and Japanese; laundry and dry-cleaning are available. Room equipment varies by category.

Complimentary Wi‑Fi across the property, a peaceful garden to unwind in, in-room kitchenettes for DIY meals, and laundry/dry-cleaning service. Wake up to garden-view mornings and step out to nearby temples and parks.

Complimentary high-speed Wi‑Fi and in-room desks make light work easy while you stay.

Kitchenettes let you self-cater — rooms include refrigerators, stovetops and microwaves. A short walk puts you in Gion and on Shijo Street for countless local restaurants and traditional eateries.
