Matoya Bay

We stayed at NOHGA Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto for four nights, and it was an excellent base for our time in the city. The hotel has a modern, thoughtful atmosphere, while the location puts you close to Kiyomizu-dera, Gion and the historic streets of Higashiyama. We loved being able to start sightseeing early and return easily after long days exploring Kyoto on foot. The hotel also received our forwarded luggage without any issues and made the next hotel-to-hotel shipment straightforward, which was especially valuable during a multi-city trip. NOHGA offered exactly the mix of character, convenience and calm that we wanted in Kyoto. We would readily recommend it, particularly to first-time visitors who want to stay near the city’s most atmospheric neighborhoods rather than around Kyoto Station.
