Detailed review & photos “Suiran, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Kyoto”

The hotel is located in a quiet location along the river, about a 3- to 4-minute walk from Togetsukyo Bridge. There is a sign with the hotel name facing the street, and there is a parking lot in front of the gate.

The first building that goes through the gate is “Café Hassui,” and there is another gate in the back, and the reception is beyond that.

There is a Japanese garden, and it was the time of autumn leaves when the trees began to color, so I enjoyed the beautiful scenery.
