Experience of the stay
I used this hotel for a birthday trip for my mother. Everything was absolutely perfect.
【Atmosphere】
The ambiance was luxurious, yet the staff was wonderfully friendly and made us feel very comfortable. The jasmine and yuzu tea served during check-in was also very delicious.
【Room】
Spacious and comfortable. The window with an open view showcases the UNESCO World Heritage site, Nijo Castle. Each person gets 1 liter of free water, and Nespresso is complimentary as well.
【Dining】
The hotel’s restaurant, "Makura", offered a full course of creative Japanese cuisine. Each dish was not only delicious but also beautifully presented, making it a feast for the eyes. Since it was my mother's birthday, we ordered a message plate in advance, which was perfect for the special day. For breakfast, you can choose between Japanese and Western styles, and each main dish can be selected from a variety of options, ensuring you won’t get bored even if you stay multiple nights.
【Service】
When I mentioned it was a birthday celebration, they proposed decorating the room in addition to the message plate (both free of charge). My mother was very happy, and it became a wonderful memory. Additionally, they also offer arrangements for bouquets and decorative cakes for a fee.
【Accessibility】
Just a 1-minute walk from the station, making accessibility superb. It is convenient for going anywhere.
Everything was top-notch! If this was helpful, please give it a thumbs up ★
Experiences during the trip
Just a 10-minute walk from the hotel, there is the popular "Okinagami Shrine" known for its fortune-related blessings. Though the opening time is at 10 AM, because the hotel was close by, I could go early and had a smooth experience. I got a charm that’s supposed to bring wealth!
Additionally, right across the street is Nijo Castle, and it’s also conveniently located near the station, making it an ideal base for sightseeing. I enjoyed exploring Kyoto at places like Kitano Tenmangu Shrine and Sanjusangendo.
