Experience of the stay
As the air gradually clears, it's the season that makes you want to travel somewhere.
During this trip, I stayed at "Daiwa Yuroku Kyoto," which is just a minute away from Sanjo Ohashi.
It's a place that not only serves as a place to stay but significantly enhances the overall satisfaction of the journey!
"I'm so glad I chose this place!" I truly felt that it had the best location 👍
Choosing a base for travel is incredibly important. In this regard, Daiwa Yuroku Kyoto has a location that I would call "perfect!"
It's only a one-minute walk from the Keihan "Sanjo" station!
The reassurance of being able to quickly reach the hotel even with heavy luggage is truly appreciated!
The beautiful stone pavements of Gion, the atmospheric Pontocho, and the Kamo River at dusk are all within a short distance. Being able to integrate into the streets of Kyoto instantly when inspiration strikes is the greatest luxury, don't you think?
A Magical Welcome Drink to Soothe Travel Fatigue 🍹
As soon as I stepped into the hotel, a wonderful space reminiscent of Taisho Roman unfolded, and that alone excited me. After checking in, the welcome drink I was served at the bar became an unforgettable memory.
What was offered to me, feeling a bit tired from the travels, was a mocktail that looked like a jewel. The beautiful contrast of the mystical blue of butterfly pea and the vibrant yellow of yuzu was enchanting, and I couldn't help but be mesmerized.
As I took a gentle sip, the refreshing tang of yuzu seemed to permeate throughout my body. It whisked away the lethargy of the end of summer, providing a gentle taste that encouraged me, "Now, enjoy Kyoto!" That one drink completely healed my travel fatigue!
My Own Hideaway. Wrapped in Comfort in My Room 🏨
The room was a "Classic Double/No View." While there wasn't a view from the window, it felt like "my own quiet hideaway," which was incredibly calming!
The room was compact yet featured beautiful designs, including Nishijin-ori art and tatami elevated areas, allowing me to feel the essence of Kyoto. Above all, the plush Simmons bed was the best, gently cradling my tired body… I slept soundly until morning.
Experiences during the trip
After dropping off my luggage at the hotel, I finally stepped into the streets of Kyoto. This time, I visited places I had been planning to see for a while.

A Heart-Stirring, Fiery Sunset. Discovering Autumn at Kiyomizu-dera 🍁🎑
Afterwards, I visited Seimei Shrine to pray and gain some power, then headed to Kiyomizu-dera at dusk.

As I glanced around, I noticed the leaves beginning to turn red, allowing me to feel the footsteps of autumn arriving in the ancient capital!
An End-of-the-Day Reward. A Night Filled with the Gentle Deliciousness of Kyoto Vegetables 🍚
For dinner that day, I enjoyed seasonal Kyoto vegetable cuisine at "Onikai." In a calming atmosphere typical of Kyoto, each dish that showcased the freshness of the vegetables was exquisite. The final dish served was salmon and Kujo green onion mixed rice, which had just the right amount of delicious broth and was incredibly tasty! I was able to fully enjoy Kyoto's rich food culture, leading to a night that filled both my stomach and heart.
