KIORI Hotel Higashino Toin

Beside the ancient machiya lanes of Higashino Toin, this four-star Kyoto property sits within the city's historic weaving district, a ten-minute walk from Nijo Castle and a short ride from Kyoto Station — a quiet base for travellers exploring central Kyoto on foot.

Rooms are fitted with private bathrooms, deep soaking tubs, and air purifiers alongside traditional details like bathrobes and slippers. An electric kettle and tea maker in each room nod to the local tea culture without requiring guests to leave.

Higashino Toin retains some of the city's least-toured residential streetscape, offering proximity to Nishiki Market and the Karasuma corridor without the crowds of Gion.
