Experience of the stay
”フォションホテル京都”にHafHで泊まってきました！
紅茶やパンが有名なフォションブランドのホテルです。
場所は京阪 清水五条駅から徒歩約6分、京都市バス河原町松原バス停前にあります。
ロビーは大理石の白い階段に桜のステンドグラスの華やかさ。
チェックインもパリ直送のマカロンと紅茶をいただきながらと優雅です。
旅行中はついバタバタしがちなのですが、丁寧な接客に自然とリラックスできました。
客室内はビビットなフォションピンクと黒を基調としたインテリア。
色は強いのですが統一感があって、居心地がすごく良かったです。
フォションの紅茶やスイーツがいっぱいのグルメバーもあって、部屋でアフタヌーンティー気分も味わえます。
ここでしか食べられないフォションの八つ橋や、オリジナルトートバッグももらえます。
1番のおすすめはモーニング！クロワッサンがすごく美味しくて感動しました〜！
内容は洋食のセットメニューで、平飼い卵の卵料理が選べます。
朝食レストラン「グラン カフェ フォション」はホテルの最上階にあって景色もすごいです。
朝は鴨川に朝日があたってキラキラしてるし、清水寺ビューも楽しめました。
フォションホテル京都は四条・祇園エリアも歩いて行ける京都の観光拠点に最適なホテル。
鴨川も近いので朝散歩すると気持ちがいいですよ〜！
Experiences during the trip
We arrived at the hotel by taxi just after noon from Galleria Nijo Castle where we stayed the previous night.
After dropping off our luggage, we spent time strolling along the Kamo River and Gion until check-in.
First, we went to Gion Izumiya to buy my favorite Chirimen Sansho.
This Chirimen Sansho is not sweet, which I like.
You can also get a taste if you ask, so definitely check it out!
For lunch, we headed to Saryo Tsujiri Gion Main Store near Yasaka Shrine.
It's a hidden gem for lunch with not only sweets but also a meal menu. It's usually crowded, but it's quite empty during lunch hours.
I recommend the 'Kyoto Colorful Matcha Soba Set' for 1,991 yen (tax included).
It's a warm matcha soba set with yuba, fu, and sweetened fried tofu, along with a dessert.
It's also fun to choose between Shiratama with Warabi Mochi or Mini Anmitsu for dessert!
Unlike the Shiratama in parfaits, the warm Shiratama has a chewy texture~.
Of course, I also had the special Tsujiri parfait with matcha!
After the meal, we returned to the hotel to check in and took a leisurely rest until dinner.
While the Fouquet Hotel Kyoto is famous for its French cuisine, I passed this time since I had it the day before at Galleria Nijo Castle.
Instead, we enjoyed Chinese food at the popular Gion restaurant 'Takeko' that I had always wanted to visit.
Takeko is a popular restaurant, so it's good to make a reservation for four or more people.
Since we were just two, we couldn't make a reservation and had to wait... quite a bit.
The restaurant is right in front of the symbol of Gion, the Tazin Bridge, so we spent time taking photos.
On this day, we signed the waiting list around 5:10 PM and entered at 6:30 PM.
The waiting list closed at 5:45 PM, so it's better to arrive early.
As for the flavor, the dishes here are refined with few spices, resulting in light meals.
The shrimp chili and sweet and sour pork had a unique taste that I really liked!
By the time we left the restaurant, it had turned completely dark, and walking back to the hotel under the moonlight in Gion became a lovely memory.
Fouquet Hotel Kyoto was a new and cozy hotel! It’s close to the Shijo and Gion area, making it perfect for a food tour.
