PERFECT SCORE: The Ritz-Carlton Kyoto: Is This the BEST Hotel in Japan? Full Review!!

[@eaea2332]

They are very proud with their traditions; this hotel brought it the best I have seen.

Great reviews Josh. Have liked and subscribed. You also reviewed The Mitsui in Kyoto. We are planning a trip next year to Japan to include Kyoto. Although you like both hotels, on balance which has the edge for you? We can’t decide which one to book! A personal opinion I know but nonetheless would appreciate your opinion here. Many thanks

The Mitsui overall has the slight edge due to the thermal springs underneath and it’s much newer and more modern.

Loved the review! I decided to stay at the Mitsui myself since it was cheaper on points and glad to hear that you liked that a little bit better. Seems you can't go wrong with either though. Recently Ritz Tokyo gives free breakfast for Titanium and Ambassador!

[@gogotravelwithjosh]

Yes, Mitsui is hard to beat! I liked the design there better and it’s new and has hot spring. But Ritz service could not be beat. And yes, one of the only Ritz Carlton’s in the world that gives Platinum elite and higher free breakfast.

[@armenow]

Really? What kind of breakfast does Ritz Carlton Tokyo give for Titanium members?

[@gogotravelwithjosh]

You can get 2 complementary breakfasts per day choice as a welcome gift choice. This is rare as Ritz Carlton’s normally never do this as it’s not a brand standard. They let you order off the menu in the main restaurant for Breakfast. I think I have the info in the review in the middle part.

Nice comprehensive review

[@gogotravelwithjosh]

Thank you!

Stayed at the Mitsui booking the lowest rate and got upgraded to a suite as I Titanium member which was fantastic for five nights. The Mitsui is the best hotel in Japan so far with the fantastic breakfast and Onsen. The Ritz was sold out as well but maybe next time.

[@gogotravelwithjosh]

Awesome you got that upgrade as well! I agree one of the best hotels in Japan! Honestly I prefer it here over the Ritz Kyoto even though they are both amazing. This one is much newer!

We were there in early November this year. They upgraded our room to one step below the presidential room over looking the Koma River. The room (328) was beautiful and decided to have an in room meal service. We got free breakfast - the Japanese breakfast is a better choice over the western option. Here's a video of the room kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZaqdGyVqah0eJI

Wow! Amazing! Thanks for sharing, that room is spacious, gorgeous, and great views! I wish I had that room while we were there 😭. May I ask what level with Marriott you were to get such a nice upgrade?

[@CocoNut2018]

@@gogotravelwithjosh That would be awesome if you can review that room. We had the platinum elite status. Prior we had the ambassador. Now I do less travel so enjoy the status perks while we have it.
