Experience of the stay
This is my second stay here.
During my first stay, everything from the room to the food and the staff was excellent, so I had longed to return.
The location is right in front of Nijo Castle, and it's just a short walk from 'Nijojo-mae Station.'
The proximity to the station makes it very convenient for sightseeing.
While Kyoto Station and tourist spots were crowded with many tourists (including international visitors), this hotel is in a quiet location where I could relax comfortably.
The room was spacious with large windows, and the bathroom was lovely; I even brought my own bath salts to enjoy a soak.
The area near the large windows had a small elevated section where I could leisurely look outside. In the early morning, I saw people walking and jogging around the Nijo Castle moat, and I regretted not taking an early morning walk myself.
With two meals included, the food was truly impressive!
Dinner consisted of beautifully crafted dishes that made the most of the ingredients, and both the taste and presentation were wonderful. The duck was grilled right in front of me on a shichirin, and it was incredibly delicious.
I would love to come just for the food if I lived nearby.
Breakfast choices were also excellent, featuring high-quality ingredients that provided a satisfying start to the day.
As night began to fall, I was soothed by the beautiful greenery during breakfast the next morning.
The staff, both at the front desk and in the restaurant, were attentive and friendly with lovely smiles, making it a hotel I would love to return to.
Experiences during the trip
After dinner, I took a leisurely stroll to the nearby 'Mikane Shrine' and around the illuminated Nijo Castle.
The next day, I enjoyed the Torokko train and the Hozu River descent.
