“Enjoyed our 2 night stay at this hotel. Service was very warm and friendly and the rooms were comfortable and spacious. Most of all, the location was lovely — we could walk along a picturesque canal with weeping willows on either side. Great place to slow down and explore Kyoto more closely.”
“Waka Heian SHIRAKAWA Hotel is a very nice hotel. Well maintained in cleanliness, staffs were very nice and helpful, and location is an easy access from local subway. When I come back to Kyoto, I will definitely come stay here again with my big family. Thank you “
“We absolutely loved this hotel! From the staff, to the facilities, the location by a calming creek, and the room itself were just all so pleasant. Would definitely stay here again.”
“We started our trip in Japan by staying at Niwa. Straight away the staff were incredibly helpful, the room was pristine and well appointed and the facilities are great. The roof terrace being a particularly nice spot for a coffee or beer.”
“Big room, convenient location and friendly staff, what more could you ask for!”
