Experience of the stay
This time, I mainly focused on sightseeing in Kyoto and stayed at OMO3 Kyoto Toji, which has good access from the station.
You can see Toji right in front, and you can enjoy the atmosphere of Toji within the hotel as well 🏯.
At OMO Base, located next to the front desk, there are arrangements like a dry landscape garden where guests can freely draw patterns, and a sand calligraphy table that foreigners and children were enjoying as well ☺️.
The room was very simple and looked similar to other business hotels!
Since it’s quite a compact room, it might be a bit cramped for two people to open their suitcases... 🥺.
The bathroom was a unit bath, but it was clean 🛀.
Next to the front desk, there is a Food & Drink Station available 24 hours a day.
They have a variety of soft drinks, alcohol, and light meals, along with original snacks with the OMO logo 🍪.
In the morning, there were rice balls and bread available, so you can manage without having to go to a convenience store 👏🏻.
However, please note that it is cashless ⚠️. Although I did not use it this time, they also offer a free guided tour of Toji, and I heard that there will be beautiful autumn foliage illuminations in the fall, so it seems like a wonderful time to visit 🍁.
Experiences during the trip
In the evening, I went to a izakaya called Bingo near Shijo Station 🏮. It’s a lively place and very popular, so it's hard to make reservations since every dish is delicious! If you want to have fun drinking, you should definitely check it out ☺️. The next day, I had omurice at a cafe near Okazaki Park. There were tables with Invader games, and the pure coffee shop ambiance was very soothing 🍹.
