The second stop of the trip to Kyoto was staying at Hoshinoya Group's OMO5 Gion Hotel. We initially chose this hotel because it is close to popular attractions such as Yasaka Shrine and Hanami-koji, making it convenient to get up early in the morning to experience the quiet Gion city walk. When I checked into the room, I found that it was an apartment-style room with a kitchen, which is very suitable for families or traveling with friends. The color scheme of matcha, beige, and wood and the tatami space are very Japanese in style. The lantern designs in the lobby corridors and guest room kitchens echo the lanterns on the streets of Gion, making it seem as if home is right here on this street. The thoughtful dining service delivered directly to your room allows you to experience the dining life like a local. 🥖Wake up to the aroma of bread Kyoto is the city with the highest bread consumption in Japan. When staying at this hotel, you can reserve the "Room Baking Set" to be enjoyed in your room and experience a homemade Kyoto-style baked breakfast. Before going to bed, set up the bread maker in the room. The hotel thoughtfully prepared an operating guide and ingredient package in Chinese with pictures, so even a baking novice can easily master it. The next morning you will be awakened by the aroma of freshly baked bread. This set meal also comes with two kinds of honey, a soup, six kinds of flavored sauces such as matcha sauce, soy milk sauce, red bean sauce, and drip coffee. Bread set consumption: average 1,000 yen/set (about 50 RMB/set) 🍲Torikoo chicken hot pot Kyoto cuisine If you stay at this hotel in winter, you can enjoy hot pot cuisine from the nearby signature Kyoto cuisine restaurant "Torikoo City" in your room for dinner. This is a hot pot dish that was popular in the Edo period. The chicken with bones is boiled in water, and then vegetables and slow-cooked chicken soup are added. After eating the ingredients in the pot, rice is added and stewed into warm chicken porridge for enjoyment. The restaurant will deliver induction cookers, casseroles, soup pots, ingredients, and tableware to your room, and will also provide instructions for eating in Chinese/English. Chicken hot pot set meal: 15,800 yen for 2-6 people (about 790 RMB/set) Seasonal limit: autumn and winter Reservation is required three days in advance 🍵Night tea party In the evening, you can watch the production and tasting of matcha demonstrated by the OMO guide in the hotel lobby and experience the fun of Japanese tea party.

#Accommodation #OMO Gion #Kyoto #Kyoto Sightseeing #Kyoto Food I stayed at OMO Gion for one night in autumn. It's in a great location, right in front of Yasaka⛩️! At night, Yasaka is lit up and it's beautiful, and I want you to see the different atmospheres of Yasaka in the morning, afternoon, and evening~✨ This OMO Gion room is quite reasonable for a Hoshino Resort, but it's super cute😍 It's very Kyoto-like and gets me excited. The room has a mini kitchen and a large refrigerator, so it's good for long-term stays. This room was for three people, and the sofa can be turned into a bed. I ordered mackerel sushi as an option for dinner at night. It's a famous mackerel sushi restaurant in Kyoto, so it wasn't fishy and I was full, but I ate it all up. 🍣 There is a famous mitarashi shop on this street that opens after 7pm, so it was a fun thing to do when staying here. 🍡 There is also a free morning tour starting at around 6:30am, which I recommend. They explain the tourist spots in the area for about an hour. If you stay at Sebi, make sure to get the free tour. It is by reservation and there is a limit to the number of people. 🚶✨ For foreigners, they showed me a paper written in English, so I think it's okay for foreigners too🙆 For breakfast, you can make your own🍞, but I don't order it because I have a🍞 maker, so I had it at a nearby hotel. This is a really delicious restaurant, and I'll tell you about it separately♡ I don't really want to tell you about it though😉 OMO Gion has good rooms and a good location, so I want to stay here again♡ There are so many restaurants around that I can't decide what to eat. There are drugstores and convenience stores everywhere, so you can get drinks there, and it's easy to get to Shijo and Sanjo, so this is the place to go if you're in Kyoto 😁 There's also a famous kudzu shop nearby, so if you come here, be sure to stop by~

If you want to avoid the crowds, set off from Hoshino OMO5 Kyoto Gion at 7 am and follow the hotel guide for a walking tour of Kyoto's most secretive spots. 📷Hanami-Koji As an ancient flower street in Japan, it perfectly preserves the architectural style of the Edo period. The wooden machiya on both sides were places where Kabuki actors lived, learned, and performed. It's interesting to listen to the guide's stories that are not known to the public. 📷Yasui Konpiragu In the shrine, there's a huge ema-shaped rock with a large hole in the middle. According to the guide, crawling through the hole can dispel bad luck and bring good fortune, if you believe in it. 📷Hokan-ji Temple Yasaka Pagoda A landmark of Kyoto, visible from many places. The guide will take you to the best angle for photos, capturing the most beautiful Kyoto through winding paths. 📷Yasaka Shrine The most popular shrine in Kyoto, it's quite peaceful in the morning. This is the time to take photos and enjoy the shrine all to yourself. OMO5 is just a street away from Yasaka Shrine, and staying at the hotel allows you to join the tour for free every day. It's not far to walk to Kiyomizu Temple, Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka, and Kodai-ji Temple, which is especially suitable for a Kyoto city walk. Only by exploring in the early morning and evening can you discover the true essence of Kyoto.

Kyoto is always bustling with people, with tourists from all over the world flocking here. The Hoshino OMO5 Kyoto Gion, where I stayed this time, is in an excellent location, right next to the popular Yasaka Shrine and just a step away from Hanami Lane. The entrance is very small and easy to miss. The street outside is bustling with noise, but once you lift the curtain, it's a different world inside. 🏨Following the mysterious lanterns into the lobby, the map introduces the attractions and recommended shops around Gion, which you can explore with a guide. The cabinet is filled with local handicrafts, and you can even experience making matcha by hand with a stone mill. 🛏️My room has a distinct Japanese style, with washi paper windows and paper lanterns enhancing the atmosphere. The room is not small, and the space is cleverly divided by the arrangement of furniture, creating a winding layout. There's a tatami-style bedroom, a comfortable corner sofa rest area, a separate wet and dry bathroom area, and even a small kitchen where you can cook for yourself. 🍣Due to the prime location, the hotel does not have its own restaurant, but it cooperates with several selected restaurants nearby, and various delicacies can be delivered to the room for enjoyment. The breakfast on the first day was a vegetarian cuisine bento made with seasonal ingredients, so beautifully presented that it was almost a pity to eat it, light and fresh and delicious. The dinner enjoyed in the room was Nagoya Cochin chicken hot pot, with delicious soup and tender chicken, accompanied by various special side dishes, very satisfying. The most interesting thing is that you can also bake bread in the room with a bread machine. It's simple to operate according to the ingredient list, and in a few hours, a fragrant and fluffy big loaf of bread is ready. Thoughtfully, a soundproof cover is also provided for the bread machine, so it does not affect rest at all. Nearby are Kyoto's most famous attractions, restaurants, and entertainment, and you can enjoy the essence of Kyoto life just by walking.

When traveling in Kyoto, I booked a hotel at the "OMO5 Kyoto Gion" in Gion. I signed up for the hotel's City Walk program, and got up at six in the morning to follow the hotel staff to visit Hanami-koji and the surrounding shrines⛩️. There was no one on Hanami-koji at this time of year, which was completely different from the scene when I came here alone the day before. It felt very quiet. I am no longer afraid of taking photos with a bunch of people. With the explanation from the hotel staff, I finally understood what the shops on this street do. I also noticed that many shops have images of Zhong Kui above their doors, with their faces tilted slightly. It is said that they avoid the shops directly opposite because they are afraid of their murderous aura hurting the shops opposite. The same goes for the Yasaka Shrine next door. There was no one there, so you could take as many photos as you wanted without having to hide from tourists. It was really nice. I really like the OMO brand under the Hoshino Hotel Group, especially the OMO in Gion, Kyoto. The rooms are in Japanese tatami style, large enough, and the combination of wood and mustard colors is very comfortable. Breakfast is eaten in the room, and you can bake your own bread 🍞. The hotel will prepare the ingredients and methods clearly, and it is very simple to follow the instructions. So when I woke up in the morning, I smelled the aroma of bread all over the room. It was a very unique experience. Hoshino Resorts OMO5 Kyoto Gion
