Whatever the faith or whoever they're devoted to, shrines have a way of making you contemplative. Visit Hosono Shrine and share a silent moment with the locals.

This Seika sacred place is an interesting spot to begin your day of sightseeing. There's plenty to experience nearby, including Todaiji Temple, Kofuku-ji Temple, and Kamikata Onsen Ikkyu. Wander around at your leisure at Hosono Shrine before hitting up these other fine sights.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (117 reviews)

I had such a great stay here! The room and bathroom were super clean, and the water pressure was amazing. They provided really nice shampoo, conditioner, and body wash that smelled so good. The comforter was soft, fluffy, and super cozy — perfect after a long day of exploring. The location couldn’t be better — I could easily walk to Yasaka Pagoda, Gion District, Nishiki Market, and several temples. There are lots of restaurants nearby, plus convenience stores like Lawson, 7-Eleven, and Family Mart just around the corner. There’s even a tax-free shop right across the street. The train station is only about 2 minutes away, which made getting around so easy. Overall, super comfortable stay in a perfect location. Would definitely stay here again!
