Chion-in Wajun Kaikan
This hotel was recommended to us by Japanese friends who have stayed here. The temple is part of the Chion-in temple complex, being situated just in front of the Sanmon Gate leading up to the rest of the temple grounds. On the wall of each hotel bedroom there is an alarm which will sound at 520am each morning, unless one turns the alarm to silent. This is because all hotel guests are welcome at the 6am service which starts in the Amida-do and continues in the Mieido. The rest of the temple complex is not officially open until about 9am each day. The grounds of the Chion-in temple are beautiful – there are 2 separate gardens to visit, both of which have a very peaceful atmosphere. We especially liked the Hojo garden. We stayed at the hotel on a half board basis with a different set menu for each evening meal and breakfast. The food was all Japanese food, and was delicious. Few staff spoke English, and the menu was in Japanese, but with google translate we usually worked out which type of fish we were eating – and the wagyu beef was really tender. The food was so beautifully presented – as well as tasting good. Our ensuite bedroom was comfortable, and very clean. The hotel has a gallery which hosts temporary exhibitions – we enjoyed meeting a group of artists from another part of Japan who had come to show their art. There was a launderette recommended by the hotel only 10 minutes walk away. This area of Kyoto was so pretty to stay in – with other temples (and gardens) to visit nearby (including Kiyomizu-dera where from the top part of the complex we looked down over Kyoto as the sun set; and Kodaiji where the temple gardens were lit up at night; and Heian Jingo Shrine Garden which had an extensive garden with many peaceful areas, and stepping stones).

Wow, what an amazing experience it was to stay here! The staff were super friendly and helpful and made all the information really clear, with leaflets to explain things like how to make the futon and how to use the baths. We stayed in a traditional Japanese tatami-floor room with futons and we attended the early-morning Buddhist service. We also loved walking around the park next to the temple as the sun went down, and using the hot bath. These were all such special experiences. We also had a Japanese breakfast in the restaurant (rice, miso soup, pickles, etc) which was unusual for us as Europeans but again, a brilliant experience. We had assumed that the breakfast would be vegan because of it being a Buddhist temple, but that was not the case. However, when we explained that we don’t eat animal products, they quickly swapped a few things for plant-based options without any issues.

Loved our stay here. In a beautiful area surrounded by trees with a view of the mountains The temple complex was very peaceful and to be staying next to it was special. We walked thru the park to reach the historical areas of Gion or crossed the river to walk into the more modern areas. The room was large, minimalist and futons very comfortable. Onsen amazing . What makes the place special was the reception staff and Manager ,who were kind, caring and professional. They genuinely want you to have an experience to remember. Which we did . I highly recommend staying here in if you are after peace and serenity in our crazy hectic world . Thank you

The location is fantastic, near temples and Ninenzaka where you can find lots of restaurants and shops. The staff is friendly. There is a restaurant in the hotel with wonderful Japanese breakfast. There is a prayer ceremony that guests can attend at the nearby temple, we didn’t get a chance to go to the prayer but the Chionin Temple is breathtaking. It is a nice option to have, you just have to wake up really early to go, wake up call is at 5:20am and I believe services are at 6:00am. We stayed in the Japanese style rooms, very spacious. A relaxing place to stay especially after running around Kyoto with a ton of other tourists.

this is a beautiful location. close to many temples, the main streets, the river, and the Nishiki market....truly a heavenly spot...parks, ponds, mountainside..... the hotel itself offers Japanese-style rooms as well as Western...we opted for the Japanese-type room and it was lovely. The option to attend services in the early morning is wonderful. The staff are wonderful, helpful, and friendly. There is an onsite restaurant, gift store, food trucks, and cafe....truly a one of a one-of-a-kind place...so so happy to have been at a conference that was held there and so was introduced to this magical place
