Michelin Guide "Built in a modern style paying homage to Kyoto machiya, the handiwork of a design firm is apparent at this hotel."
Condé Nast Traveler99.6
"This 29-room hotel is a serene oasis in a city that, despite its mythologies, often dismays first-time visitors because of its workaday plainness." Full review
Fodor's "This chic downtown pied-à-terre successfully combines traditional ryokan elements—sliding paper screens, tatami rooms—with some unexpected boutique-hotel touches." Full review

Fodor's "Visiting Kyoto's temples gives you a taste of the city's history, but staying in one is a more intimate way of experiencing the past. ... Rooms are comfortable but appropriately ascetic." Full review
Time Out "Not many temple lodgings come furnished with wireless internet, air-conditioning and a kitchen, but these rooms within the grounds of the Myoshin-ji complex are surprisingly comfy." Full review
Frommer's "For a different kind of experience, consider staying at this Buddhist temple, established in 1590." Full review
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"This is a shukubō, or temple lodging, at a subtemple in Myōshin-ji. It’s very comfortable and quiet and the main priest here speaks fluent English." Full review
