Experience of the stay
I visited during the cold wave in February. Despite the snow, I was able to stay dry as it is directly connected to Kyoto Station.
With the reserved plan, I was able to check in and out at the Granvia Lounge on the 15th floor, which allowed me to start my hotel stay in a very relaxed mood.
The sweets provided at the lounge were also high quality and delicious.
From 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM, there is a cocktail hour with wines, champagne, and light snacks that pair well with drinks, which was quite enjoyable.
I also chose the buffet at the Granvia Lounge for breakfast, enjoying omelets where I could choose the ingredients and Eggs Benedict.
The hotel staff were all very accommodating, making for a fulfilling stay. I want to gather Hafh points to visit again.
Experiences during the trip
Lunch at Amore Kiyamachi in Kawaramachi for a casual drink.
It's a nice place renovated from an old house along the Kamo River. The lunch was reasonably priced, and I was very satisfied with the appetizers and pizza that paired perfectly with wine, as well as dessert.
Then, for an early dinner, I went to Shinpuku Saikan near Kyoto Station.
The soup is dark in color, but it is light and goes down easily. Personally, the fried rice was a hit. It was so delicious that I couldn't stop using my spoon.
This time, it wasn't about sightseeing; it was a food journey in Kyoto.
I want to explore more delicious restaurants in Kyoto.
