Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto

10/10 Excellent
"This hotel was one of the highlights of our trip. The staff, service & breakfast area was amazing! Not to mention the hotel rooftop was one of the best rooftops we’ve ever been to. The staff was incredibly nice & sat us each night with a blanket under the lights. It was the perfect ending to our days sightseeing!"
