Kyoto Oyado ZEN  

Tuck into a quieter corner of Kyoto at Kyoto Oyado ZEN. The guest house sits about 3 km from the city center and is minutes from Higashi Honganji, Nishihonganji and the Costume Museum, with Nijo Castle and Kiyomizu Temple also close by.

This is guest house comfort instead of a hotel. There are just four guestrooms, each with a kitchenette, flat-screen TV and a private bathroom. Expect deep soaking bathtubs, separate showers, complimentary toiletries and simple, homey touches that keep your stay relaxed and practical.

Free Wi‑Fi on the property, in-room kitchenettes with refrigerators and stovetops, microwaves and electric kettles, plus flat-screen TVs and deep soaking tubs. Small, efficient comforts make it easy to wake up to Kyoto mornings and hit the temples.

Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected throughout the guest house.

Each room includes a kitchenette for self-catering — refrigerators, stovetops, microwaves and electric kettles let you cook quick meals or morning coffee. Plenty of local eateries are a short walk away when you want regional flavors.
