Cool Outfits
One of the most memorable hotel outfits I ever wore was here at APA Hotel in Gion.
It was the type of clothing I would expect at a traditional ryokan and not a modern Western-style hotel, so it was a nice touch!
Super comfortable to wear in all seasons, it was a cool get-up that gave me a feeling of embracing Japanese culture.

From your hotel room you can see an extensive view of Gion’s main street. If you happen to be in town during the Gion Matsuri Festival or some other event, you may even see a cultural parade taking place!
