🏨 This hotel is a bit pricier, but you can feel the attentiveness of the staff ✨
Also, the foreign cleaning staff greeted me politely, so I felt reassured 😊
🛋️ The room feels spacious since the structure hides the shelves!
It was easy to work 💻 while sitting on the sofa, and my productivity increased 📈
The desk is not facing the wall but is oriented towards the room, giving a sense of openness 🌿
Additionally, the kitchen cabinet is placed next to the room, ensuring a clear view ✨ It was a calming space.
🔳 The windows are frosted, so you cannot see outside…
However, the door opens slightly, allowing some fresh air in 🍃
♨️ Large public bath and sauna
This hotel has a large public bath! 🛁
With dim lighting creating a calming atmosphere, it’s not very spacious, but you can relax ✨
🔥 The sauna is at a comfortable temperature of around 83 degrees! (※ This is the type of sauna where water cannot be poured)
🪑 There are only two chairs to relax in after the sauna, so during busy times, it may be difficult to find a place to sit 💦
📺 You can check the breakfast and public bath congestion status on the room TV, so you can time your visit wisely!
🍽️ Breakfast was homemade and delicious, but...
I feel like there weren't any Kyoto-style obanzai because it was too late in time 🤔
Experiences during the trip
📍 About the location: 🚶♂️ It is located 8 minutes on foot from the south exit of Kyoto Station!
You may not go there often, but there is an AEON between the station and the hotel, so it's safe for those with children 👶🛍️
🏪 However, the convenience store is a bit far (about a 5-minute walk), and there aren’t many shops in the surrounding area, so shopping may be a bit inconvenient 💦
🚌 Taking the bus is also convenient!
You can access Shijo and Omiya from the bus stop slightly off in front of Toji Temple 🚍
The bus has a flat fare of 230 yen, and Suica can also be used 💳✨
This hotel is away from the bustling downtown area, but it has a large public bath where you can relax, making it perfect for unwinding on the last day 🌿✨
Of course, it is also recommended for those planning to visit Toji Temple 🏯 and the Kyoto Aquarium 🐠!
Before checking in at this hotel, I participated in a Hafh event. It was "Funazuru Kyoto Kamogawa Resort," which is also used for weddings, and you could see the Kamo River, making it a very luxurious hotel.
🍻 Cheers at the standing bar # (Sharp)!
After the exchange meeting, I casually stopped by the nearby standing bar "Sharp" 🎵
⏰ Although it opened at 14:00, there were already 5 people queuing before opening, making it a popular spot!
👥 The shop is compact and can accommodate about 7 to 10 people at full capacity!
🏮 The owner is very unique; although he looks a bit intimidating, he is incredibly funny once you start talking!
I think everyone must wonder, "Does he look like a sandwich man...?" 😂
🍣 Every dish is exquisite! I ended up eating too much… 🤤
✨ The specialty "Gout Hand Rolls" is an indulgent item with caviar and sea urchin packed luxuriously!
🐟 The sashimi is also fresh and has a nice bite!
🥔 Potato salad, 🔥 grilled mentaiko, 🍗 chicken wings, 🍚 wasabi rice bowl… everything I ordered was delicious!
When I ordered the chives omelette, something unexpected came out!!! (Please see the pictures 🤭)
👀 If you ask for the hidden menu "Yukke," it might come out…!?
I heard a rumor that "they will make anything if they have the ingredients" 🤭
🍶 Before I knew it, I spent about 6,000 yen on one drink + bottled beer + 4-5 dishes ✨
💭 It was the best standing bar that made me think, “Ah, I want to go again…!”
<<<Minmin>>>
🥟 Kyoto's soul food! To Minmin
🏮 On the way back to the inn, I was a little hungry, so I stopped by the famous Chinese chain "Minmin" in Kyoto!
🥩 I wanted to eat a hearty meat dish, so I ordered the stir-fried pork bowl!
🔥 The combination of pork and vegetables coated in rich miso sauce is just perfect!
💰 The price is just under 1,000 yen, which is reasonably priced!
🍜 It’s the perfect place to satisfy your craving for hearty Chinese food!
