The Gate Hotel Kyoto Takesegawa by Hulic
Opened in 2020, the Gate Hotel Takasegawa enjoys one of the best locations in Kyoto. It’s named for the Takasegawa Canal, which runs along its eastern edge. Steps from the east exit is the Kiyamachi nightlife district and the impossibly atmospheric Pontocho Lane and geisha district. And, steps from the west side is Kawaramachi, one of Kyoto’s main shopping streets (beyond which you’ll find Nishiki Market). There are literally thousands of restaurants, bars, cafes and shops within just a few minutes’ stroll from the hotel. And yet, once you enter the hotel, you’re in a calm oasis.
