Experience of the stay
55 minutes by direct bus from Itami Airport to Kyoto Station (1,340 yen).
A 10-minute walk from the station. The large public bath and sauna are spacious and comfortable! The ultimate charm is the exquisite space where you can heal the fatigue of your trip.
Loisir Hotel allows free stay for children up to elementary school age.
Public bath hours: 15:00 – 25:00, 6:00 – 10:00
The public bath is wide and comfortable, and the water temperature is just right.
One nice point is that there’s no sense of crowding even if it’s busy. Cleansing, toner, lotion, and hairdryers are provided. Lockers with keys are also generously sized.
The facility is equipped with a sauna and cold bath, so you can fully experience 'totonou'.
It's perfect for refreshing your tired body after walking around sightseeing! Especially after visiting the steep tourist spots like Kiyomizu-dera and Fushimi Inari, it's the best!
The guest rooms have a calm, modern Japanese atmosphere. Air purifiers are available, which is great for dry seasons and pollen seasons. There’s a small table and a sofa, making it comfortable even for remote work. Two cups of drip coffee are included. Amenities are available for free next to the front desk.
Check-in and check-out are smooth, taking less than a minute (200 yen separate accommodation tax).
If you want breakfast, it’s an additional 1,800 yen.
It’s a prime location just one station away from JR and Kintetsu ‘Kyoto Station’ (about a 5-minute walk from Kintetsu ‘Toji Station’)! It’s perfect for a morning walk to the World Heritage Site ‘Toji’ just a 5-minute walk away. Using buses and trains, you can easily access popular tourist spots like Kiyomizu-dera and Fushimi Inari Taisha.
Although many hotels are clustered in the vicinity, this might be the only choice if you want to enjoy the large public bath. It was comfortable to have a large bathtub without the crowd.
Experiences during the trip
I encountered a yakiniku restaurant that made me think, 'I want to come to Kyoto just for this place!'.
It's a 15-minute walk from the hotel. The quality of the meat is beyond what you would expect from the old-school atmosphere of the shop. Everything we ordered was absolutely satisfying. This is a must-visit restaurant.

I traveled to Kyoto from Osaka Itami Airport. Direct buses run every 20 minutes from the airport, making Kyoto feel much closer than I thought. Sneakers are essential for visiting shrines and temples. It's a basin, so it's cold in winter and hot in summer.
