Activities

Themed on "beauty," this tour takes you to the beautiful early morning streets, shrines, and temples of Gion with your neighborhood guide—your OMO Ranger. Taking a stroll through Gion in the early morning, when the town is quiet, you get to catch a glimpse of the otherwise unseen lifestyle of Gion.

The town of Gion is dotted with many Japanese confectionery stores that are famous for their craftsmanship. Take a leisurely walk around town to find your favorite Japanese confections and bring them back to the hotel (tea room) for a tea ceremony experience. Try your hand at grinding tea leaves using the tea mill at the OMO Base, and whisk some matcha using traditional matcha utensils. It is a unique experience where you can taste the culture and history of Gion with delicious Japanese confections and matcha tea!

We offer convenient and economical carry services to help you enjoy your trip with ease. Not only between Kyoto and Osaka stations, but also between OMO's three facilities in the distinct Toji, Sanjo and Gion areas of Kyoto, you can leave large luggage and travel with ease.

Not only can you stay in one hotel and experience each area in depth, but you can also enjoy the whole of Kyoto on a ladder tour of OMO's multiple hotels in Kyoto as a major base for sightseeing in the city.

For dinner, you can enjoy the signature "Mizutaki chicken hot pot" from nearby Kyoto cuisine restaurant "Torihisa" in your guestrooms.

This is a one-pot dish from the Edo period in which chicken with bones is boiled in water and vegetables are added for seasoning, and there are many famous restaurants in Kyoto. Slow-cooked Nagoya Cochin chicken soup, tender and tasty chicken, and even rice porridge to finish off the meal can be enjoyed to the fullest.

Guestrooms with kitchens for up to six guests are also available, so groups are also recommended.

In addition, the following morning, a breakfast experience of Home Bakery Set with freshly baked bread is included, which is typical of Kyoto where bread culture takes root.

If you get up early and take part in the “Gion Morning Cleanse” tour around the city, you can have a fulfilling morning.

You can enjoy luxurious food and stay in the hotel as if you were living in Gion.
