Experience of the stay
Umekouji Potel is located one stop away from JR Kyoto Station at Umekoji Kyoto Nishi Station! In front of it is a vast Umekoji Park where you can enjoy cherry blossoms and autumn leaves in each season!
The highlight here is the lounge space where you can enjoy alcoholic beverages, drinks, and snacks, along with a self-service coffee area where you can choose your own beans and more. There are corners to enjoy music, books, table tennis, and board games. You can also enjoy the traditional 'Pote Yu' bathhouse, which combines an old-fashioned bathhouse with a sauna, allowing you to relax comfortably all day long within the hotel!
The room is a spacious, modern twin room measuring over 30 square meters! Amenities include milk soap (for face and hand washing) and shampoo! The pajamas are of the separate type, and the room even has a balcony, letting you relax outside with a coffee after breakfast while enjoying a chill moment!
The front desk of Pote Yu has very cute decor, as shown in the images, which added to the excitement!
Experiences during the trip
By chance, the cherry blossoms were in full bloom at this time, and I was able to enjoy the night cherry blossoms while admiring the night view at Kiyomizu-dera, which was open for night viewing! It was a great memory, especially since I had never had the chance to enjoy night viewing before and had never experienced evening cherry blossoms. I would love to see the autumn leaves at night next time..
