Eat & Drink

Higashiyama Shikikaboku Hotel serves American breakfast in the morning. The beer restaurant Beer Komachi lies right around the corner from the accommodation.

“This adults-only ryokan impressed me with its prime location in the heart of Gion, granting an intimate immersion into Kyoto's cultural richness. I appreciate the option of starting the day with an à la carte breakfast before exploring nearby landmarks such as the serene Kiyomizu-dera Temple. The prospect of unwinding in the open-air public bath after a day of exploration seals its appeal.”
