We stayed in this property for five nights and absolutely loved it. The room was spacious, clean, and had all of the things we needed for a great stay in Kyoto.
I’ll focus on two of our biggest needs as a family of four - transportation and food.
Transportation - bus stops right outside and across the street. Umekoji-Kyotonishi station is an easy walk through the park, which is a slightly longer walk than just walking along the east-west road that is just a block north of the property. It’s just such a nice walk to go through the park. U-K station is one stop away from Kyoto station and a direct line to Arashiyama. East access to all that you want to get to.
Food - There is a restaurant downstairs that serves Taiwanese food. Really good! There is also a wonderful bakery around the corner in a narrow alley that serves vegan white bread, delicious coffee, and lots of other fresh-baked goods. The curry bread was my favorite. Check out Tsujiya Umekoji Kita for a fun izakaya experience. Great food and environment. Best meal we had in Kyoto. Lots of other food options around that we weren’t able to take advantage of on this trip. 7-11 and Ministop nearby.
We loved this place. Great launching point for our Kyoto adventures. Looking forward to staying again.
