Experience of the stay
Since I often go shopping in Kyoto, this is my second stay at Granvia! I have stayed in various places around Kyoto, such as Kawaramachi and Karasuma, but I found Kyoto Station to be the most convenient coming from Tokushima.
It's directly connected to the station, so it’s right in front of you when you arrive by highway bus from Tokushima, and it’s also just 30 minutes from Osaka by JR Rapid Service, allowing immediate check-in at the hotel, which is incredibly convenient. Kyoto has a lot of tourists, so moving around can be tiring, so being able to stay at Kyoto Station is just too convenient. Apparently, the room I reserved was full, so I was upgraded to a spacious room with a great view. I arrived at night and could see the illuminated Kyoto Tower from my room; I was tired but ended up having a wonderful time. Although I didn't book a club floor this time, my last visit was on a club floor, and the food and drinks in the lounge were excellent. I will definitely stay again!
Experiences during the trip
The next morning, I bought myself a Christmas present at the Tiffany in JR Isetan. The hotel kept my luggage, so I was free to enjoy shopping around Kyoto Station and even visited the Agnes B. cafe I had wanted to try.
I had kushi katsu for dinner in Porta underground station and tempura bowl for lunch. There are many dining options, so being at the station was indeed convenient.
