Fantastic hotel and 2 bed suite was amazing. We wish we’d booked longer. The happy hour was exactly what we needed, too! The free sake tasting and craft beer was so nice. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Mimaru has a great set up and we’ll definitely use it again when we return to Japan.
Everything about our stay was wonderful. It’s perfectly situated, away from the crowds but still close to the main shopping area and trains. You can also find a mixture of local and touristy restaurants. The staff is very kind and helpful and speak perfect English. I think this is now my favorite hotel in Kyoto.
We absolutely loved our stay at Mimaru. The room was huge for 5 of us. Having a washing machine and dryer was great. 2 bathrooms and 2 bedrooms was fantastic. The train station was very close and we were central to everything. We would highly recommend Mimaru Suites Kyoto Shiju.
Excellent, spacious, comfy, eveything one could need, great coffee,latte.machine downstairs, fast elevators, quiet, near shopping and touristy places, also not far from train station. Highly recommend and would stay there again. Also fridge/freezer/pots,pans plates, silverware.clean!
MIMARU SHIJO was the best hotel we stayed at on our 3 weeks trip in Japan. Very convenient area to get around. Lots of restaurants and shopping close by. The two bedroom suite was perfect suite for my family so everyone could have their own space. In suite laundry was fantastic. The staff was extremely helpful and the MIMARU luggage delivery was the best service we experienced out of all hotels we stayed at. I would highly recommend this property to anyone, especially families.
Excellent quiet location, staff was very attentive and respectful, the staff spent time with us to ensure they clearly explained things pertaining to the accommodations and answer our questions, very close to trains and bus service, breakfast buffet option was excellent
Such a great property. Super helpful staff at the front desk. Enjoyed their saki samples during the happy hours as well! Will definitely go back!

A true home away from home in Kyoto
Our family (parents, 2 teenage boys and adult niece) spent 3 nights here in August 2025. It was our third hotel during our trip and by far our favorite! The 3 separate bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, spacious living room and washing machine were perfect for us. It allowed us additional privacy and less wait for showers after long days touring in the hot sun. The location made it easy to walk to shopping and restaurants, especially our twice daily convenience store visits. The staff and service are amazing with so many included perks like coffee, cold water, sake and beer. Staff is fluent in English which is very convenient for foreigners

Amazing room and food.
We were welcomed by friendly staff, and beautiful grounds. We do not speak Japanese and the staff could accommodate. We booked a room with a private onsen. The breakfast and dinner was amazing. Our waitress took the time to help us understand how to enjoy each course.
