Enjoy a calmer pace of sightseeing — and maybe even connect with your spiritual side — at Reigenin. If you're able to go inside, why not pause for a moment or two of quiet reflection?

You'll have sightseeing choices galore when spending time in Gion. Reigenin is a good place to start here, but there are many other worthwhile sights to visit. Kiyomizu Temple, Nijō Castle, and Kyoto Imperial Palace are near the place of worship and will fill in your day nicely.

Hotel Crush On is superbly located in a quiet area, yet close enough to walk to Nishiki Market and across the river to Gion. There are plenty of restaurants and coffee shops nearby to choose from too. We loved our stay at Hotel Crush On. Highly recommended!
