Kyoto Hotel Guide - Iwayasan Shimyo-in Temple hotels in Kyoto, Japan.

"The room cleanliness is excellent. The staff is very friendly. If you’re renting a car there are plenty of parking available. The Japanese breakfast is very satisfying and delicious."

"Such a beautiful and peaceful place to stay on the outskirts of Kyoto ... a hidden and perfect respite to escape the busy city action but still close enough to pop in and check out all the amazing places in town. The facilities, the meals, and the service were awesome, and we'd like to especially mention the wonderful manager who always made us feel special, Koichi Koike! Thank you for a 5-star experience and we are already looking forward to returning to your hotel. Highly highly recommended!"

"The place needs updating The rooms were ok Tight with Towels ( the smallest I’ve even seen ) Tight with water I paid for a double room on my own to get 2 towels and 2 bottles of water was hard work It is situated outside the main area about a 40 min walk but is 8 min from tube Breakfast was one day Japanese next day western and so on Breakfast was a 2 out 10"

"Everyone was so friendly and helpful. The onsen was amazing! The dinner and breakfast they serve is very large and delicious. The area is perfect for someone wanting peace and quiet. I would love to go back and stay again!"

"Of the nine different hotels and ryokans we stayed at, this was our favorite place to stay. The location was gorgeous and the staff was the friendliest and most helpful we encountered. This location is up in the mountains so it doesn't have many tourists. We were able to to walk to three different nearby shrines/temples in about 2-3 hours and saw only 4 other people. This was the most relaxing part of our 2 week trip. The dinner and breakfast was exceptional but the staff and location is why we picked this hotel as our favorite place of our trip. I would absolutely stay here again. If you are looking for a place to relax in a mountain setting this is the place to stay!"

"A relatively inexpensive place in a great location in central Kyoto, friendly and helpful staff, decent room, quiet. This is not a 5 star hotel, more like 2-3 stars but a good one, with a nice atmosphere. I’d stay again for sure."

"A little far from train stations. Otherwise, it met our needs. Super clean. Loved having laundry in the unit. No coins to worry about."

"The nicest place I have ever stayed at. The onsen was incredible and the area is so beautiful and peaceful. Amazing food as well."

"Amazing experience overall "
