Whether it's because of their spiritual significance, beautiful design or fascinating history, temples often feature on the to-do lists of many travelers. Mibu-dera is a well-known religious attraction you can't miss.

Located in Central Kyoto, this place of worship is well worth a visit. But you'll find tons more to see and do in this area. Kiyomizu Temple, Nijō Castle, and Kyoto Imperial Palace aren't too far from Mibu-dera.

18.8/10 Exceptional! (30 reviews)

We had a great stay here. It was a self service type experience but it all was simple and worked great for us. The bed was comfortable. It was very close to the main shopping areas in Kyoto with just a short walk and there were many great shops and restaurants down the side streets in the neighborhood as well. There was a great local grocery store just across the street too. The staff were helpful and friendly. We would definitely stay here again.

Our stay at the Shijo Takakura Hotel grandreverie was great! It was the most memorable room of our trip to Japan, a great design and lots of space. The stone shower and bathtub were especially luxury. The staff was incredibly attentive. It's the one place we'd immediately go again!
