Kyoto Hotel Reviews

Kyoto is a great town to visit and don''t forget a side trip to Nara to visit the park and see the deer.

Kyoto is a great destination, much nicer than Tokyo. I think one should spend at least 2 nights in the place. Walking through Pontocho is wonderful, as is the Gion, where we managed to see maikos and geikos wandering from one place to another. Walking is great, but be ready for considerable distances between sights. Make an effort to speak to the locals, many of them actually understand English and are very happy to help.

We recommend visiting the Golden Pavilion and Rhe rock garden at Ryoanji Temple. We also found Sanjusangendo, and Kiyomizu well worth the time to see. We felt fortunate to have seen Kyoto while the leaves still displayed their fall colors.

Our visits to Kinkakuji, Ginkakuji, Ohara areas were very impressive. And generally, all the visit in Japan was very-very interesting.
