I'm going to Kyoto on a solo trip this summer. Can you recommend a place to stay where I can see the Gozan no Okuribi from my room?

Question

I'm planning to go to Kyoto alone in the summer to see the Gozan no Okuribi fires. I'm looking for a hotel where I can see the fires from my room. Do you have any recommendations?

I recommend Kyoto Tower Hotel. There are events where you can rent out the observation deck at 100m above ground, the highest point in Kyoto city, and enjoy all the Gozan no Okuribi bonfires, so I think it would be a good idea to participate in those events. It's in front of the station, so it's convenient to go anywhere.

It's about 150 meters on foot from Hankyu Shijo Kawaramachi Station, so it's very accessible. You can barely see the Gozan no Okuribi fires from the upper floors.

This APA Hotel is conveniently located about a 4-minute walk from Gion-Shijo Station. It is popular because they offer a stay package for viewing the Gozan no Okuribi every year. It feels a little old compared to other APA hotels, but even if you discount that, the benefits of being able to enjoy the bonfires outweigh the negative aspects. Get a good deal, have a drink, and enjoy the view.

It is conveniently located in Karasuma Sanjo in the center of Kyoto, just a 2-minute walk from Karasuma Oike Station. The British-style interior ignores the traditional Kyoto atmosphere, but Hotel Monterey Kyoto is a calm and elegant hotel. Another attractive feature is that the accommodation fee is reasonable for a high-class hotel. There is also a natural hot spring spa on the top floor. There is a plan that allows you to view the Gozan no Okuribi fires from the top floor.

The Daimonji Yaki bonfire can be difficult to see from the rooms, but guests can get a clear view from the rooftop terrace. The standard single rooms are simple yet clean. There is a large communal bath here, as well as an open-air rock bath, so you can enjoy a relaxing time in the hot springs. Although it is a public lodging, the garden is magnificent and it is a very nice lodging. The surrounding area is close to the Kyoto Imperial Palace, making it a great location for sightseeing.
