Kyoto and related destinations

Between ancient temples and modern manga museums, Kyoto reveals itself through contrasts. Wander through vermillion gates at Fushimi Inari Shrine, where thousands of torii create tunnels of orange against green mountainside. Geisha hurry through narrow Gion streets at dusk, their white-painted faces glimpsed briefly before disappearing into exclusive teahouses. The golden pavilion of Kinkaku-ji appears to float on its reflecting pond, somehow more impressive than any photograph suggests. Nishiki Market offers bizarre delicacies and perfect ceramics in equal measure. Don't miss Arashiyama's bamboo grove, where morning light filters through impossibly tall stalks creating a green cathedral effect that explains why the Japanese find spirituality in nature.

THE BLOSSOM KYOTO

10/10 Excellent

"The Blossom was a true Experience for us. It is what we imagined a modern Japanese hotel would be like. Rooms are spacious, and tastefully appointed. The decor, Onsen in the basement, provided Yukata with instructions all suggested we are in Japan. The staff are very helpful and respectful. Any amenities you may imagine from forgotten shavers, hairbrushes, toothbrushes etc to beauty products are present in the room. They did not have coffee in room, but we could access the basement lounge anytime with state of the art Nespresso beverage dispenser, juice, ice cream etc. This was our best experience in Japan, having stayed in 3 hotels here. We are one stop away from Kyoto Station on the Karasuma line. Get off at Gojo station The in house restaurant was very good. We had seared Salmon and the seasonal fish (Spanish mackerel with clams). The salmon was excellent, mackerel was mackerel. We only wish we could stay there longer."
