We took a gamble staying here with it being a new hotel and there being no reviews but it absolutely paid off!! We had a wonderful stay here! The hotel is absolutely beautiful, and the rooms are really spacious!! The photos of the hotel dont do it justice. Its also spotlessly clean and they provide you with absolutely everything; face masks on arrival, perfect self pamper following a day of exploring! They also provide you with creams, all the toiletries you need, hair bobbles, ear plugs,...

Exquisitely beautiful and elegant hotel in a prime location in central Kyoto next to the local market and shops. 2 metro stops away from Kyoto station where you can catch the Shinkansen to Tokyo or Osaka. The staff are incredibly lovely, they are the most polite people and want to help with everything. They safely stored our bags before and after our stay so we could maximise exploring Kyoto. The hotel is presented very well with a classic modern Japanese feel. The room was very spacious with...

Whilst it’s slightly out of town centre, it is within walking distance of a number of attractions, and close to the subway. We used the subway a lot, and got the direct Hankyu line to Osaka an couple of times. Enjoyed the breakfast, and the complementary food etc in the lounge. I cam highly recommend it

A serene, modern, and stylish place with a wonderfully cosy atmosphere. Located in a quiet area of the city yet still easily accessible to all the main attractions. The beautiful garden and surrounding grounds are perfect for peaceful morning walks, and the elegant breakfast was a lovely way to start the day. I would definitely recommend it.

The hotel is fairly new. It is centrally located within the district we stayed in about 4 km from Kyoto Station. The hotel staff were very helpful when we had to change our travel plans due to the cyclone that hit Tokyo and managed to find us alternative rooms in the hotel. Excellent service.

Our room was very spacious and totally quiet. The area was busy but perfectly situated for transport, shopping and dining whilst being in the heart of the city and yet only half an hours walk from most of the numerous major attractions. The staff were helpful and friendly and the free coffee etc was very welcome. We’d definitely return should we have the opportunity.

Check in & out was so quick & easy, especially checking out - you just put your key card into a machine & you’re done. The hotel is in a great area as indicated by the ‘What did you like?’ section above. The rooms were always cleaned & restocked with bottled water, towels, etc.

The Asai Kyoto Shijo Hotel was without a doubt, my favorite hotel we stayed in during our trip to Japan. Absolutely lovely design, comfortable beds, and amazing water pressure in the shower. The neighborhood was convenient and walkable, with options for sights, food, and coffee nearby! I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again and recommend to friends traveling to Kyoto.

Pocket Guide: Kyoto Northern Kyoto Hotels
North Kyoto is a walkable, business-friendly neighborhood with convenient options for restaurants and coffee shops. Take in the natural beauty of the gardens and parks—or broaden your horizons with some local theater. North Kyoto's hotels and accommodation make a great home base for venturing out into the greater Kyoto area.
Sightseeing around North Kyoto
The museums and theaters add a sense of refinement, while the monuments and other landmarks offer local lore. You can attend a show at Kyoto Concert Hall, Kyoto Kaikan Concert Hall, and Samurai Kembu Theater. Attractions like Koryo Art Museum, Jotenkaku Museum, and Kitamura Museum highlight the local culture. Kamigamo Shrine, Daitokuji Temple, and Shimogamo Shrine are significant monuments. Ota Shrine, Entsuji Temple, and Ishii Shrine are some of the notable landmarks. Hours of family fun are waiting at Nishimura House Garden, Zuihoin Garden, and Funaoka Thermal Bath.
Shopping, biking, and sightseeing are just a few things to do in the area. You'll find the great outdoors at parks like Kyoto Prefectural Botanical Gardens, Kamogawa Park, and Omiyakotsu Park. At Shusuitei Tea House, Mount Atago, and Settsukyo Park, take some time to really appreciate nature. Plan to do some shopping while in town? Consider Aeon Mall Kyoto, Aeon Mall Kusatsu, and Pieri Moriyama Mall. Shozan Resort Kyoto, Nishikyogoku Athletic Stadium, or Yabasekihan Island Park will provide yet another welcomed diversion.
Don't miss some of the area's most popular attractions, such as Kyoto Imperial Palace, Nijo Castle, and Kiyomizu Temple. Kyoto Greek Roman Museum, Hataeda Hachimangu Shrine, and Kuga Shrine will also leave an impression.
