Experience of the stay
I stayed during the Golden Week. It was just a quick overnight stay on my way back from visiting relatives in Kyoto, and I think I got a good deal through hafh during the holiday.
After dinner nearby, when I returned to the hotel, it seemed like a group had just arrived, so I went back to my room and headed to the large public bath early. It’s really nice to be able to soak in a large bath. 😊 The bathing area was simple and clean.
I think there were about 20 lockers in the women’s section? Later, more people came to the large bath, but since there weren’t enough lockers, we had to wait in line. I could see the availability from my room, but it seemed like the updates didn’t reflect quickly when it got busy, so some who came later remarked on how it said it was free at that moment.
It might be something to watch out for during holidays!
The breakfast buffet the next morning was also quite busy due to the holiday, but there were almost the same items at two locations, so I was able to go to the closer one. Since it was Children's Day, only the main area had special items for the day. There were more varieties than I expected. The taste wasn’t particularly noteworthy, but I felt it was sufficient.
Experiences during the trip
I had dinner at Ichiraku Ramen in the nearby Aeon, and since I didn’t have a strong travel mindset, it was just a quick meal, haha. It’s convenient that you can walk there easily to buy anything you might need. We bought some water and had a little fun at the game center before heading back.
The next day, I walked down the street a bit to catch a bus to Yasaka Shrine. The bus stop is close to Kyoto Station, so I thought it was surprisingly easy to get to tourist spots. I enjoyed the atmosphere of Kyoto while walking north from Yasaka Shrine and went to Okazaki Park, where there were many carp streamers for Children's Day and events happening.
On the way back, I headed out to Kyoto Station and took the train home. There are indeed quite a few foreign visitors around Kyoto, including near the station. The photo of the ice cream I had in front of the station looks a bit foreign! 🤣
My experience was not much different from usual, but since it was Kyoto, it felt a bit special, which was nice.
