Hotel Monterey Le Frere Osaka

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel and staff."

Miyako Hotel Kyoto Hachijo

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and a good size. The location was good ….right across the street from the Kyoto Station. The station had many restaurants to choose from. We found our favourite for sushi and sashimi where we had dinner 5 nights. The Gion district is a cab ride away. My surprise was how few Japanese people spoke any English even in the hotels. The translator App was a necessity."

Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs

8/10 Good

"Pros: - The rooms were spacious compared to most Japanese hotel rooms. It was nice to have a more traditional tatami style room. - The breakfast buffet had an incredible selection to choose from. There’s a bit of a wait depending on when you go, but it goes rather quickly. - Late night unlimited ramen from 9pm-11pm was also a nice touch. We loved being able to eat a light meal after a long day of exploring. - Onsen access is really nice, with massage chairs available for use. And unlimited ice cream every night was also really delicious. Cons: - Having guests take off their shoes at the lobby makes the place smell like feet. It’s pretty gross since it was raining when we were there so it was a mix of wet socks and feet stench. They should at least require that people wear hotel rooms slippers. - The onsen was really dirty from the amount of people that would use the facilities. It was overcrowded and packed during the night time. Overall, I’d stay at this hotel again, but refrain from using public facilities. It’s almost impossible to keep the public areas clean and free of smells since there are so many guests."

When is the best time to go to Nishikyo Ward?

The best times to visit Nishikyo Ward are spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November), offering pleasant weather and stunning natural beauty.

Spring in Nishikyo Ward is particularly beautiful due to the cherry blossoms. Arashiyama, a well-known area within Nishikyo Ward, becomes a picturesque landscape with groves of cherry trees, especially around the Togetsukyo Bridge and along the Ōi River. The Bamboo Forest is also a popular spot, offering a serene experience. This period is ideal for couples looking for scenic walks and memorable photographs amidst the blossoms.

Autumn provides a different but equally striking spectacle with the changing colours of the maple leaves. The hillsides of Arashiyama are ablaze with red, orange, and gold, making it a prime location for enjoying koyo (autumn foliage). Tenryu-ji Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage site, has beautiful gardens that are particularly impressive during this season. Solo travellers will appreciate the opportunity for peaceful reflection and photography in these colourful settings.

Both seasons offer comfortable temperatures for exploring the area's temples, gardens, and natural landscapes.
