I thought I’d enjoy a delightful stay, but who can appreciate a curfew of 11 pm? I guess I was expected to bring my pillow and sleep on the street instead. Also, the breakfast, while traditional, was a culinary maze with no guide. I almost gave a good review, but just couldn’t.

Breakfast options were quite limited.

Tranquil Retreat near Gion

Staying in the Japanese-style room felt like a true escape, with serene gardens that added to the ambiance. The staff’s warmth and willingness to help, despite language barriers, made a lasting impression. For breakfast, be prepared for traditional Japanese fare. consider enjoying a light snack beforehand.

Amazing temple morning service

the communal bath offers a peaceful, relaxing atmosphere for unwinding after the day.

I had an amazing stay! The breakfast was beautifully presented, although it took some time to get used to the flavors. The tatami-style room felt traditional yet modern, and I loved the peaceful atmosphere of the communal bath, perfect for unwinding.

My kids wished the room was bigger for our family.

Staying in the Japanese-style room was so peaceful. I particularly loved the comfortable sleeping mat and the tranquil public bath.

can't wait to go back

Loved my stay! The room had air conditioning, tatami flooring, a private bath, and even yukata. The public bath felt like a spa, super relaxing after the day. Staff were patient and helpful, even found us a cab in the snow. Such a spacious room with great amenities.

Perfect for couples seeking tranquility

The location was fine, with beautiful gardens surrounding the temple. I loved how the staff held our luggage for us after checkout, which made things super convenient for our late flight!

It wasn’t exactly budget-friendly, but still acceptable.

my stay at chion-in wajun kaikan exceeded my expectations during a wedding ceremony. the peaceful atmosphere next to the chion-in temple was simply magical. everything was clean, and the spacious rooms were a perfect retreat after exploring the area.

breakfast options were quite limited.

Chion-In Wajun Kaikan offers a unique blend of tranquility alongside the vibrant Gion area. The spacious and clean Japanese-style room was complemented by a comfortable bed, providing an excellent rest after a long day. Breakfast was delicious and beautifully presented, and the beautiful grounds featured soothing water features and lush trees, creating an inviting atmosphere for relaxation. The WiFi was very good, making it easy to stay connected during my business trip.

Spacious, clean rooms provide a peaceful retreat close to the vibrant area. Staff were exceptionally kind and accommodating, easily offering vegan food options. However, finding transportation during adverse weather proved challenging, delaying access to the bath. A minor daily breakfast menu could enhance the dining experience further.
