Miyako Hotel Kyoto Hachijo

Miyako Hotel Kyoto Hachijo

8/10 Good
"The room was clean and a good size. The location was good ….right across the street from the Kyoto Station. The station had many restaurants to choose from. We found our favourite for sushi and sashimi where we had dinner 5 nights. The Gion district is a cab ride away. My surprise was how few Japanese people spoke any English even in the hotels. The translator App was a necessity."

When is the best time to go to Gion?
The best time to go to Gion is during the spring (late March to early April) for cherry blossoms or autumn (late October to mid-November) for fall foliage, though each season offers a distinct experience.

Spring in Gion is particularly beautiful, with cherry blossoms adorning the Shirakawa Canal and Maruyama Park. The weather is generally mild and pleasant for walking, making it an excellent time for couples to enjoy romantic strolls along the picturesque streets and experience traditional tea houses. However, this is a popular time, so expect larger crowds and book accommodations and experiences well in advance.

Autumn also provides a stunning backdrop with vibrant red and gold leaves, especially around temples like Kiyomizu-dera and on the hills surrounding Gion. The cooler temperatures are comfortable for exploring, and the crisp air enhances the experience of visiting historic sites. This period is also popular with visitors, offering beautiful scenery without the peak crowds of cherry blossom season.

For those looking for a quieter visit, the shoulder seasons of late April to May and late September to early October offer good weather and fewer crowds.
