"The overwhelming reason to stay at this 40-some-year-old property is its superb location in Gion...rooms are updated but tiny. " Full review

There are no views, but my recommendation is to ask for a room on a higher floor facing west, with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the tiled roofs of Gion.
