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.

My wife and I traveled to Kyoto as part of our first trip to Japan and we both agreed, without a doubt Villa Sanjo Muromachi was a - of not the - highlight of our trip. A beautiful boutique hotel with spacious rooms, beautifully decored that make you feel right at home in the heart of historic and charming Kyoto. We opted to have breakfast served to our room and specifically the Japanese version which we did not regret. The service is top notch and especially the bartender. First rate cocktails 😉 Thank you!
