  • [Love Hotel Kyoto] Seeking Insider Tips: Which Adult-Only Hotel Offers the Best Luxury & Privacy for Foreign Visitors?

We are a couple visiting Kyoto next month, and we are excited to try out the famous Japanese "Love Hotels" (Adult-Only/Boutique Hotels) that we've heard so much about! However, we are a little unsure about the system, amenities, and payment methods for first-time foreign guests.

Hotel and Spa Lotus Modern (Adult Only)

【Kyoto】18 Takeda-Nishi-Koyanouchi-cho, Fushimi-Ku

  • A luxurious love hotel with a private open-air bath and a bedrock bath

  • Among the love hotel groups operating nationwide, this hotel is known for its luxurious facilities and concept. If your budget allows, we recommend choosing a higher-ranked room with an open-air bath or a bedrock bath. You can enjoy a private open-air bath experience in your hotel room without having to go to onsen(hot spring) Ryokan (Japanese inn). This hotel is safe for those with tattoos or who don't like bathing with other guests. Some rooms even come with a sauna, and the facilities are as comprehensive as a luxury hotel. If you're tired from sightseeing in Kyoto, be sure to use it for a rest or overnight stay.

  • A hotel that combines Kyoto's traditional Japanese style with contemporary modernity

  • This hotel is also part of a group with affiliated hotels all over Japan, and is perfect for couples who want to enjoy a truly Japanese atmosphere. This hotel has a sophisticated design that evokes a "modern Japanese" feel, and each room has a different kimono-patterned wallpaper, along with resort-style décor that adds to the atmosphere. The facilities are clean and the atmosphere is bright and refreshing, making it easy to enter even for first-time visitors. It is also close to the train station, making it a very convenient location for a break or overnight stay after sightseeing.

Hotel Jardin de Fleurs Kyoto - Adult Only

1-13 Okazakihousyoujicho, Sakyo-ku

  • A large jacuzzi bath and the latest facilities are attractive.

  • Japanese love hotels have larger rooms than typical business hotels, and many of them have spacious bathrooms with jacuzzis, which is one of their attractions. Enjoying movies and music on a large TV is also one of the highlights. Japanese love hotels also have a unique system of breaks (a few hours) and overnight stays (overnight stays), which can be easily selected using the panel. The rooms are private, allowing you to enter without meeting anyone, so even foreigners can feel at ease. Prices are the same for each room, so you can check in with peace of mind regardless of the time of year.

  • A cute flower-themed hotel located right next to Heian Shrine

  • Hotel Jardin Fleur is located right next to the famous Heian Shrine, making it a very convenient place to stay after sightseeing. As its name suggests, it has a "flowers and gardens" theme, and is characterized by its luxurious and charming interior. Japanese love hotels actually offer a wide range of amenities, and this hotel also stocks high-quality Japanese shampoos and cosmetics. The hotel is also meticulously clean, so couples can enjoy a relaxing time. Many hotels have a system where you can check in without going through reception desk, so you shouldn't have to worry too much about language barriers.

Hotel La Siesta Kyoto - Adult Only

26-29 Oekutsukakecho, Nishikyo-ku

  • A Japanese-style hotel system allows you to check in without language concerns

  • When foreigners visit a Japanese love hotel, the biggest concerns are probably the language barrier and how to enter. This hotel uses a system where you select a room using a panel in the lobby and pay using an automatic payment machine. This means you rarely have to speak directly with hotel staff, making the experience smooth. The hotel is located near the Kyoto Minami Interchange, so transportation by taxi or car is the norm. It's sure to be an interesting stay where you can experience the uniquely Japanese hotel system.

  • A place filled with the fun of Japanese love hotels where you can also enjoy karaoke

Many hotels also offer complimentary welcome drinks and sweets, and the hotel has a strong sense of service. There is a wide variety of room designs, so you'll be excited just choosing. If you're looking for a fun and unique accommodation experience, this is the place to go.

Hotel Lotus Gorgeous Japan Kyoto -Adult Only

3 伏見区竹田東小屋ノ内町

  • Enjoy a relaxing experience at an affordable price in a room with an open-air bath and a bedrock bath

  • This hotel has many rooms with private open-air baths, bedrock baths (spas where you lie down on warm stones), and saunas. The biggest attraction is that couples can enjoy a bath without being disturbed by anyone, without having to go to a Japanese onsen(hot spring) Ryokan (Japanese inn). The amenities are all high-end brands, and the towels are fluffy. It is within walking distance of Takeda Station, but it is a bit of a walk, so it is convenient to take a taxi.

  • You'll be amazed by the gorgeous, Kyoto-style design

  • If you're planning on staying at a love hotel in Kyoto, be sure to experience this hotel 's "Neo-Japanesque" design. The room interiors are decorated with kimono patterns and gold leaf-like ornaments, making them very luxurious and photogenic. You can enjoy a slightly flashy and glittering Japanese space that you won't find in a regular hotel. Of course, it's not just the appearance; the cleaning is impeccable, with clean floors and beds. As this hotel is part of a major group famous in the Kansai region, they are accustomed to dealing with foreign tourists, so even first-timers should feel at ease.

HOTEL MYTH Rinata -ホテル マイス リナータ- Adult Only

Fushimi-ku Takedahigashikoyanouchi-chou

  • You can come empty-handed and enjoy better value and comfort than regular hotels.

  • While regular tourist hotels in Kyoto tend to be expensive, love hotels offer excellent value for money. The amenities provided are excellent, with towels, bathrobes, skincare products, hair irons, and more provided in the room, and you can even choose your favorite shampoo from the commercially available options. The bath is spacious enough for two people to stretch their legs out. Check-in is available 24 hours a day, so you can easily stay overnight without worrying about the time, even after sightseeing or dining out late into the night.

  • A clean and bright hotel run by a well-known major group

  • This hotel is part of a well-known large group with many locations across Japan, so it is well-managed and always kept spotlessly clean. While the term "love hotel" might conjure up a dark image, this one has an open entrance and a bright, modern atmosphere, so I think women will feel safe entering. The pricing system is also clear, and checking in doesn't require any complicated Japanese conversation. It's located right next to the Kyoto Minami Interchange and within walking distance from Takeda Station on the Karasuma Subway Line.
