“Hotel Sou Kyoto Gion's apartment-style setup charmed me; it's a private house reimagined for modern travelers who want to delve into Gion's cultural heart. The location is superb for exploring shrines and local eateries, and the in-room washer/dryer is a godsend. I appreciate the blend of independence and meticulous care that the host, Doris Chang, seems to bring to the experience, even from a distance.”
