AREA
Located between Kyoto’s iconic Kamo River and the clear waters of the Takase River, this area was once known as “Gojo Rakuen,” a historic geisha district with about 150 teahouses and entertainment establishments.
In recent years, the neighborhood has been revitalized with stylish hotels, cafes, and restaurants, bringing new charm to the area.
Just south of the property, the original headquarters of Nintendo—now being transformed into a luxury hotel—is making the area increasingly popular.
