Experience of the stay
I stayed overnight to participate in the HAF Travel Week😊
It was easy to find the hotel as it is along the road and within walking distance from Hankyu Karasuma Station and Shijo Subway Station. The hotel was clean and compact.
After registering as a member, I received a drink and could stay until a late checkout at noon.
While there was some dust to notice in cleaning (specifically in the bathroom and ventilation), the room was neatly organized and comfortable to stay in 😊
I had to borrow a phone charger from the front desk since there wasn’t one in the room. Fortunately, they promptly assisted me, and I appreciate that 🙏
🔻Pros🔻
The bus stops right in front, and it’s convenient to access both Hankyu Station and the subway on foot. Compared to other hotels, you can stay with fewer coins. It’s just one station to Kawaramachi, which is also within walking distance◎
Experiences during the trip
When in Kyoto, one of the must-visit places is the Raku-e Shijo Karasuma, which is connected to Karasuma Station underground. I always check out Shinjindo and Nakagawa Masashichi, and I love the sandwiches from Shinjindo 🩷
Next, I visited BAL in Kawaramachi, which is filled with fun shops 🎵 I bought my favorite incense there ☺️. As a souvenir, I got a cute Fuji mountain-shaped coin purse at Karankoron near Kawaramachi 👛🩷
This was my first time participating in a HAF event, and I was amazed by how stylish the venue was! I was thrilled to ride an elevator that looked like something out of a movie to get to the venue. The space was very large and wonderful 🥰. I made friends with people at my table and later enjoyed tea at a nearby famous Mont Blanc shop, where I heard valuable travel stories while relishing deliciously rich Mont Blanc with crispy meringue 🎵
Thank you for the souvenirs at the event! I've already started using the JAL bag and stickers 🙌
Exchanging thoughts with fellow travel enthusiasts was a refreshing experience! I'm looking forward to more fun plans next time ☺️🎵
