Loved by guests
"The room is really big with a tatami area where you can relax."
"The room was spacious and they have provided all the amenities to ensure your comfort."
"Everything about this property - the washing machine and water dispenser are great, located in a quaint and quiet neighbourhood - you have to try Namafu if you have the time"
Rooms with Kyoto touches
Rinn Shirakawa South offers double and twin rooms with air conditioning, flat-screen TVs, and electric kettles. Rooms feature carpet motifs inspired by the Keage Incline, a historic transport route. Some rooms overlook an inner garden with greenery visible from the bathing area. For groups of more than 3 adults, futons are provided. Children under 6 can stay free without extra bedding.
Dining options nearby
The hotel is surrounded by small restaurants and teahouses in Gion, Kyoto's most famous geisha district. Nearby dining includes traditional Kyoto cuisine and establishments where geisha and maiko entertain.
Exploring Higashiyama's heritage
Rinn Shirakawa South is steps from Shirakawa's willow-lined streets and a short walk from Yasaka Shrine (0.5 km) and Kennin-ji Temple (1 km). The area is known for its Edo-period culture, with geisha theaters and seasonal walking routes to Kodai-ji Temple.
Location in historic Gion
The hotel is in Gion, 5 minutes from Ichihime Shrine. Fushimi Inari Shrine is 4.5 km away, and Nishiki Market is 2 km. The Keihan Electric Railway's Fushimi Inari Station provides direct access to Kyoto's main attractions.
Traditional machiya design
The building follows a traditional 'eel bed' townhouse layout, with narrow frontage and deep interiors. Artwork featuring Shirakawa willows and Kyo-yuzen fabric, a Kyoto craft, decorates the space. The second floor showcases historic clay wall techniques like 'Takekomai' and 'Rough Clay Wall.'
Must-do experiences
- Stroll through Gion at dusk to spot geisha in their traditional attire.
- Sample matcha sweets at Tsujiri, a local tea shop with a rich history.
- Visit the hidden Otagi Nenbutsu-ji temple, home to 1,200 stone statues.
- Discover Nishiki Market for fresh street food and unique local ingredients.
- Take part in a traditional kaiseki dinner for an authentic Kyoto experience.
