Kyoto Accommodation, a 9-minute walk from Gion-Shijo Station

In April 2026, “Kyoto in Gion Annex No. 2” was reborn as “Akari -AKARI- Kyoto Gion.” “Share the first light with you.” Guided by the glow of tradition, step into a new story of Gion yet to be discovered. Gion is a town where people and culture have continued to intersect for over a thousand years. Like the gentle lantern light that glows along its quiet lanes, “Akari -AKARI-” hopes to be a soft light that illuminates your journey. Located in the heart of Gion, Akari is an ideal base for experiencing Kyoto more deeply. A 7-minute walk to Yasaka Shrine and a 12-minute walk to Kiyomizu-dera Temple—perfectly situated for sightseeing. From June 2026, we also plan to renew our breakfast offerings. Choose from two options: an interactive onigiri-making experience with a soup server, or a bread & drink bar. Enjoy warm onigiri and an even more Kyoto-inspired Japanese-style breakfast for a refreshing start to your day. May this small light lit here in Gion grow into a “cultural light” that spreads across Japan—and around the world. From this place, we will continue connecting local charm to the future.
