“I noticed its location on a quiet Kyoto street, yet conveniently served by a direct city bus from Kyoto Station; this makes it easy to navigate with luggage. The rooms are clean and well-equipped with twin beds and a simple kitchenette, plus separated bathing and toilet areas, and the modern design makes me feel it is well maintained. It is a practical choice for families or business trips.”
