Independent Katsura hotels

"Great location that is a bus ride away from Gion. Loved the access to the underground subway walkway and daily free sake from the sake serving machine downstairs. It is great that there is a coffee machine in the lobby but the coffee is not great. Having access to washer/dryer was a plus. They worked well and you could also monitor on the availability on a webpage to know when a machine is available and when your wash is done. The staff was prompt in their service. We were able to borrow umbrellas when needed and also an iron. Overall we loved our stay in Forza and would recommend it."

"The location of the hotel is really nice.."

"Amazing stay. Thank you 😊"

"Great stay. Only downside they’re nowhere to unpack and store your belongings"

"This hotel was WOW! We went to Japan and stayed at 4 different hotels and this one was my favorite one. Service was a 100000/10 food was great, views were unbelievable amazing. Keep in mind this hotel is located on a rural area so you are about 20 min away from the little town and everything closes at 8. Meaning you are unable to get into public transportation or taxi after that time. We had to walk 30 min to get back to the hotel. Nothing major, you really don’t hav to leave this hotel because it is stunning "
