The Prince Kyoto Takaragaike, Autograph Collection

I have vivid memories of staying here during the pandemic with a friend, and I was happy to return again on a solo trip. Above all, the location is truly wonderful—although it’s in the city, it still feels like you’ve come to a resort, letting you enjoy an extraordinary escape. The staff are consistently friendly and attentive, and you can really feel hospitality rooted in tradition. The entire beautiful building is charming, and it’s lovely to see how carefully it’s maintained. I’d love to stay again.

This is always my go-to Hotel when I visit Kyoto.With its quiet setting, elegant exterior, and spacious Room, I can truly relax.I stay for three nights each time and enjoy taking the train to explore different places.It was disappointing that the casual Chinese restaurant has closed, but with staff shortages everywhere these days, it can’t be helped.Kyoto sightseeing has become harder to do casually lately because it’s so crowded,but I’m looking forward to my next visit.
