Experience of the stay
It was my first hotel stay on New Year's Eve, and I welcomed the New Year happily. I thought I couldn't stay on New Year's Eve or New Year's Day because it would be expensive, but I was able to stay at a great point value, the same as on weekdays.
Moreover, the breakfast buffet on New Year's Day included a mix of Japanese and Western dishes, and we could enjoy Kansai-style white miso ozoni, kuri kinton, and kazunoko, all at the same breakfast price with a discount for hotel guests, making it a great deal. All the dishes were extremely delicious.
I noticed that they offered omelets to overseas elementary school children who couldn't eat osechi, which I thought was very hospitable. I'd love to stay there again on New Year's Eve!
Experiences during the trip
On New Year's Eve, before checking into the hotel, I left my luggage and visited Nishiki Market, the kitchen of Kyoto, to savor Kyoto's dashimaki tamago, and then enjoyed tea at the famous Maison de la France hotel in Kyoto.
On New Year's Day, I could walk to Heian Shrine and Yasaka Shrine in the morning when it was relatively quiet for the first shrine visit of the year.
