This area has seen better days, but prices are pretty cheap now. There are still some good restaurants around.

Cross Hotel Kyoto
Located just off Kawaramachi Sanjō on Ryoma-dori, Cross Hotel Kyoto offers a perfect balance of comfort and style under its concept of “casual luxury.” With popular sightseeing and shopping areas such as Kawaramachi and Gion, as well as train stations, all within walking distance, it’s an ideal base for exploring Kyoto.
The decor has a bit of an industrial vibe mixed with Japanese elements—very stylish. The soundproofing is pretty good too, so you don't really hear much noise at night.

Takao-san Yakuo-in
Takao-san Yakuo-in was founded in 744 by the renowned Buddhist priest Gyoki on the orders of Emperor Shomu. Located on the slopes of Mount Takao, its formal name is Takao-san Yakuo-in Yuki-ji. It is a head temple of Shingon Buddhism and is considered one of the three major head temples in the Kanto region, alongside Narita-san Shinsho-ji and Kawasaki Daishi Heiken-ji. Its principal deity is Izuna Daigongen, an incarnation of Fudo Myo-o. Mount Takao is said to be home to the deity’s tengu attendants, and numerous tengu statues can be found throughout the temple grounds.
The main hall is grand and majestic, with a strong traditional Japanese temple vibe. It's always busy with worshippers, even on weekdays.
