Experience of the stay
I used OMO for the first time during my trip to Kyoto!
Located right in the middle of Gion, with Yasaka Shrine right in front and close to Kawaramachi, it’s incredibly convenient for sightseeing. Although it’s a bit removed from the area with many casual dining options, this makes it very quiet at night. Taking a stroll to sober up on the way back felt really nice.
The room was spacious with a kitchen, and although I only stayed for one night this time, it would be enjoyable to stay for 2-3 nights to get takeout from local restaurants and feel at home by making simple meals too.
With a low bed and independent bathroom and washbasin, I think it would be easy to stay here with kids as well◎
It was a hotel perfect for a trip, allowing me to enjoy both excitement and the calmness of modern Japanese style.
Experiences during the trip
Kyoto has so many fascinating restaurants that there’s never enough time to explore them all. Here are two standout places I visited this time.
1) Cafe Planet
A cozy vegan café with large windows overlooking the Kamo River and a bright white interior that feels refreshing. The view from the window is so pleasant that I could gaze at it forever. It’s also a dog-friendly spot, so meeting dogs adds to the relaxation 🐶
2) Half Basement
A beer pub located, as the name suggests, half underground. You can enjoy craft beers and tempting food that appeals to those who love drinks. The dim lighting combined with exposed concrete and wood decor gives a stylish vibe, making it a perfect spot for a second or third drink 🍻
