Experience of the stay
In the hot summer of Kyoto, I enjoyed a relaxed ho-kans (hotel staycation) for a day.
The lounge service was abundant, allowing me to spend the whole day in the lounge.
With delicious coffee at afternoon tea, complimentary wine and champagne during happy hour, original cocktails, and at night, delicious bubu-zuke (rice with broth) service, there were so many pleasant services.
The room was clean and had a sense of cleanliness. The amenities were sufficient, including Sekkisei lotion, and the large public bath was a great satisfaction. Free use of the massage chair was also available.
This hotel is definitely worth repeating.
Experiences during the trip
Nearby the hotel, there are lovely cafes.
Famed for its sweets, "Umezono"
Umezono CAFE & GALLERY
While the shops in Kawaramachi and Sanjo Teramachi always have long lines, this shop allowed us to enter smoothly. It was hot, so the kakigori (shaved ice) was incredibly delicious. I want to eat mitarashi dango again.
For lunch, we visited the long-established Western restaurant "Kitchen Gon"
Kyoto's famous pine rice! It was very delicious.
