住宿體驗
This time I visited ‘Galleria Nijo Castle Kyoto,’ a luxury hotel located in Nakagyo-ku, Kyoto City, through HafH.
Although it requires a notable number of coins, the price includes dinner and breakfast, making it a hotel I’ve been interested in for several years.
Finally, I was able to stay here.
The location is perfect, just a stone's throw from Nijo Castle. I was surprised how closely the garden seen from the lobby resembled the promotional photos.
It has a calm atmosphere, creating a very comfortable space.
I visited by car this time, but since the hotel doesn’t have parking, I decided to park in a nearby coin-operated parking space.
Right in front of the hotel is a Mitsui Repark, but unfortunately, it was full, so I went to the nearest Times parking instead. Luckily, there was just one spot available.
At 1,100 yen for 24 hours, I think it's reasonably priced for being right in front of Nijo Castle.
When I was taking photos near the hotel entrance, a staff member came out and kindly greeted me. Upon mentioning my check-in, they immediately guided me, showing excellent service, as expected from a five-star hotel.
Prior to check-in, a welcome tea and sweets were served, highlighting the high-quality hospitality.
The lobby walls featured various tea ceremony tools, which were exciting to observe.
The room I stayed in was a “Deluxe Twin,” approximately 45 square meters, accommodating up to two guests. The black reflective walls create a very luxurious impression, with a modern and stylish atmosphere.
Dinner can be enjoyed at the restaurant “Makura” on the first floor. Their menu is based on French cuisine, focusing on locally sourced vegetables from Kyoto.
The flavors were undoubtedly delicious, but I was amazed by the visually stunning presentation of the vibrant vegetables. At first, I wondered if I would be full with such a small serving, but by the time I finished the main dish of duck and the dessert, I felt perfectly satisfied.
When I finished my meal, the lobby's lights were dimmed, and the garden was beautifully illuminated.
The trees reflecting on the water and tables were incredibly beautiful, offering a soothing experience.
After dinner, I visited the nearby Shin-Sen-En temple located right next to the hotel. It is illuminated until 8:00 PM every day, and it is quite beautiful, so if you finish your meal early, it might be worthwhile to go and see it.
After returning to my room, I took a bath and slept soundly in comfortable pajamas.
The next morning’s breakfast featured a lighter menu centered on vegetables, so it’s filling even for breakfast. It seemed they were very particular about well-being, avoiding butter, dairy products, oils, and not using beef.
Just like dinner, the breakfast was also delicious!
Kyoto is currently quite crowded with tourists, and it can be tiring depending on where you go, but if you're staying at Galleria Nijo Castle Kyoto, it’s best to enjoy a relaxed, adult-like time without overly packed schedules.
Once you step into the hotel, it feels like you’re experiencing a calm time, far away from the hustle and bustle outside.
If you want to enjoy a leisurely adult trip in Kyoto, I highly recommend checking it out!
分享在旅行中的體驗
退房時間是中午12:00，因此不需要急著離開房間。
但留在房間裡也有點可惜，對吧？
如果要去參觀二條城，那麼在此之前的早晨，絕對是最推薦的時間。
截至2025年，京都因為過度旅遊而外國觀光客數量驚人，幾乎所有地方都擠滿了外國遊客。
即便是二條城，到了下午購票時也要排長隊。
但如果是早上第一時間去的話，正確的選擇！
二條城的開放時間是早上8:45到下午4:00，但若在大約8:45到達的話，會發現人很少！
因此我能慢慢參觀了約一個半小時。
能在開門不久後輕鬆前往，正是住在附近的人所享有的特權。
參觀完二條城後，回到酒店時大約11:00，因此進房間稍作休息。
在檢查退房前，一直都能享受這段時間，所以如果你想要住在琉璃・二條城 京都並參觀二條城，千萬記得隔天早上開門的時候去看看。
