Experience of the stay
It was my first time in Kyoto, but having the hotel right across from Kyoto Station made access very easy, and it was comfortable even with heavy luggage.
In the hotel lobby, they provided 'selectable pillows', a drink bar, a map of the Kyoto Station area, and amenities, showcasing their attentive hospitality.
The room itself was of average size. However, I could see Kyoto Station from my room, and the view was nice. The gauze pajamas provided in the room were comfortable. Furthermore, there were cables available for charging three types of devices next to the bed, which was convenient.
There is also a large public bath, but it does not have a sauna or cold bath, and there is only one type of bathtub, so it might not be suitable for sauna enthusiasts. However, if you just want a simple bath, it's satisfactory.
The greatest charm of this hotel is definitely the convenience of access from Kyoto Station, and there is a sense that attention has been paid to even the small details, making for a wonderful stay.
Experiences during the trip
I was exhausted when I arrived in Kyoto, but I managed to go to a ramen shop called 'Tomomura', which was a 7-8 minute walk from the hotel. It was refreshing and delicious, and I felt revitalized.
The next day, I went on a classic Kyoto sightseeing tour, enjoying Fushimi Inari Shrine and Kiyomizu-dera Temple.
There is also a large temple called Higashi Honganji, which is within walking distance from Kyoto Station, and I visited there as well.
Since I had some free time, I recommend the 'aotake' cafe, a traditional wooden house cafe about a 7-minute walk from Kyoto Station, as it has a great atmosphere.
Before my evening Shinkansen, I left my luggage in the station's lockers, but I wish I had asked about possibly using the hotel's luggage storage instead.
