"Such a beautiful and peaceful place to stay on the outskirts of Kyoto ... a hidden and perfect respite to escape the busy city action but still close enough to pop in and check out all the amazing places in town. The facilities, the meals, and the service were awesome, and we'd like to especially mention the wonderful manager who always made us feel special, Koichi Koike! Thank you for a 5-star experience and we are already looking forward to returning to your hotel. Highly highly...

"The owner was very lovely and polite, he prep matcha tea for welcoming us also offering fresh bread making in the morning for our breakfast but my family were very tired from a long day travelling and activities we did in the area, we just want to sleep in so we had to miss out on that. House was clean. The bath was the highlight for us. Just the tap in both toilets a bit hard to operate so we had to wash our hands in the bathroom instead."

When is the best time to go to Sakyo Ward?
The best time to go to Sakyo Ward is during spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November), when the weather is pleasant and the natural beauty of the area is at its peak.

Spring brings comfortable temperatures and the spectacular cherry blossoms, particularly around the Philosopher's Path and the grounds of Nanzen-ji Temple. The area is filled with soft pinks and whites, making it a wonderful time for leisurely strolls and photography.

Autumn offers cooler weather and stunning foliage, with the maple trees turning brilliant shades of red, orange, and gold. This is especially noticeable at temples like Eikan-do Zenrin-ji and around the paths leading up to Mount Hiei. It's an ideal time for those who enjoy hiking and exploring the natural landscapes.

For travellers who prefer to avoid larger crowds, visiting in late May or early September can still offer good weather with slightly fewer visitors than the peak cherry blossom or autumn colour periods.
