Miru Kyoto Nishiki

Last updated: 05 January, 2024

If you’re after an old-Kyoto meets contemporary Japan vibe, geared to a hip crowd on a budget, this boutique hotel a block north of Nishiki Market in central Kyoto will hit the spot.

Outside, the Miru mimics the look of a traditional machiya townhouse. Inside, the 23 rooms incorporate touches like paper screen windows or, in some cases, patches of tatami flooring. Just be aware they are on the small side – aimed firmly at couples and solo travellers.

Along with good design on a budget, a major reason to opt for the Miru Nishiki is location – as well as the market, it’s a short walk to the lively Shijo-dori avenue, from where you could walk to the Gion geisha district or catch the bus and subway to almost everywhere worth seeing.

A bonus – there are dozens of good restaurants and bars in the neighbourhood too.
