It's very quiet even though it's not too far from the downtown area.I stayed there on the day of Daimonji fireworks and the view was amazing. Many people gathered on the riverside to watch the fireworks,but I enjoyed the spectacular view from the rooftop with other guests. The amenities were also plentiful and I was able to have a very comfortable stay. The furnishings were sophisticated and very luxurious.It was so amazing that I want to come back again right away.

I stayed this hotel on a special day for Daimonji-fireworks. We could see the Daimonji from the rooftop garden. There was some relaxing garden furniture, so it’s the best way for enjoy firework. The hotel staff were all very kind and went out of their way to accommodate our requests, giving us the best possible experience. The rooms were also wonderfully sophisticated, with beautiful furniture, appliances and all the necessities.

Our recent stay at Kamo Residences was extraordinary. So far our top experience visiting Kyoto over the years. I have travelled worldwide and used to stay at all the major luxury chains. I have switched to boutiques and more tailored experiences in the past few years. Location: Situated slightly north of the centre, by the Kamo River, with many attractions and fantastic restaurants, it is an ideal base for those who prefer quieter, in nature, and out of the major tourism paths. The neighbourhood is mixed residential and commercial, featuring many shrines, temples, and culturally significant spots popular amongst locals and Japanese visitors, so we prefer some hidden treasures near the crowded mass tourism sites. Kamigamo and Shimogamo Shrines, Kyoto Botanical Gardens are to the north, Imperial Palace is just nearby, and Higashiyama and Gion are to the southeast. Kinkakuji (The Golden Pavilion Temple) and Arashiyama are to the West. The river has fantastic north-to-south walkways, with impressive things to discover en route. There are plenty of bicycle and e-bike stores for rental closeby. Check-in: We checked in via WhatsApp on the Shinkansen bound for Kyoto. The manager showed us to our room immediately upon arrival. Our luggage, which we had forwarded one day before arrival, was waiting for us. A lovely, personal greeting card was in the suite, along with mochi from the famous local confectionary Demachi Futaba and complimentary champagne to celebrate our first holiday together, very thoughtful. It was the fastest and nicest check-in I ever had. Room: We stayed in the Executive River Suite. It was very generous in size, with a beautiful wood-covered high ceiling. It was airy, with a floor-to-ceiling sliding window facade opening up to beautiful floating views over the river and the stepping stones—a luxurious vibe with elegant high-end features. The bathroom was compact but modern, with a nice tub and bath salts. The Ms.

The manager allowed us to check in early and prepared a lovely surprise with champagne, mochi, and a romantic decoration—an extra bed for our kid free of charge. Originally, we booked a Panoramic Suite but changed to a Garden Suite as we wanted to have breakfast in the greenery. The staff was super accommodating and let us use their company phone, as I left mine in the taxi. Luckily, we kept the receipt, and it is on its way back to us. Thanks so much for arranging. We extended for another day. The concierge booked a great Teppanyaki experience, a taxi on the way back by the front desk, as we were exhausted. Very thoughtful. Ultra-modern. Smart home system. TVs supported dual Bluetooth headsets, and we made movie night while our sonny was sleeping. Complimentary minibar, refilled every day. Including white wine, snacks, coffee, tea, etc. Breakfast was delivered to our suite every morning, varying every day. Imperial Palace is a few minutes' walk away. It has beautiful gardens and Riverside cycling, and we used the picnic blanket from the room for riverside lunch. The local market is impressive, with delicious confectionary shops. This hotel is located in the north, close to nature and most attractions. The train station is also a few minutes walk, but we have not used it. Most attractions are walkable. We prefer it to be quieter than downtown, so this was perfect.
