Experience of the stay
The room I stayed in was the layout in the 17th image introduced on this site. I usually stay in rooms that are about 20 square meters at most, but this 25 square meter room was very spacious and comfortable. For a tourist area in Kyoto, I think it's quite rare to find a room where you can spend this comfortably for this amount of money. From before the stay, I felt that it was not an ordinary hotel, and I indeed felt the difference. By eliminating waste, I could sense a new way of thinking about what truly necessary facilities are, leading to a very interesting accommodation experience. I would love to stay again.
No Card Key: It was a common PIN code method you often find in Airbnb. When I checked in online beforehand, a PIN code was sent to me at the check-in start time. Not having to worry about carrying a key card was more comfortable than I expected.
No Roomwear: There was no loungewear. I brought some simple loungewear, so it wasn't an issue.
No Mineral Water Bottle: There was no bottle, but drinking water was provided in a water pitcher in the refrigerator. I had no insistence on mineral water bottles, so it was not a problem.
No Bathtub: Some people may require this, but for me, just having a shower was sufficient. If needed, there are public baths nearby.
Are the staff only foreigners?: The staff could speak Japanese, so there was no language issue. Everyone was friendly and kind.
Experiences during the trip
This time, we couldn't really do any sightseeing as it was just a one-night stay in Kyoto after sightseeing in Nara, but we had delicious meals at the following places. I was so engrossed in eating that I forgot to take pictures.
Shinshin-do Karasuma Bukkoji Store: 100% Beef Coarse Ground Hand-Kneaded Steak Ash Burger - It was completely different from the burgers I usually eat and was extremely delicious.
Kyomachistand Wakadanna: Fried Thick Tofu, Saba Sushi, Salt-Grilled Saba - All were cheap, economical, and delicious. It was fast, cheap, and tasty.
