“This hotel, set slightly north of Kyoto's core, appeals with its traditional Japanese aesthetic, including rooms featuring futon bedding on tatami floors; the complimentary shuttle from Kyoto Station is a definite plus. The on-site onsen, complete with garden views, provides a serene counterpoint to days spent exploring nearby attractions like the Kyoto Imperial Palace and Nijo Castle. It's a solid choice for travellers seeking an authentic, quieter Kyoto experience.”
