Experience of the stay
It is close if you go from 'Sanjo Station' or 'Keihan Sanjo Station' or 'Gion Shijo Station'. Be careful as it is far from the similar station 'Shijo Station'.
Although it is not related to the hotel, Karasuma Station and Karasuma Oike Station are different stations.
This hotel has good access to the atmospheric 'Pontocho Alley' along the Kamo River and the lively 'Kiyamachi Street'.
It is also easy to go to Yasaka Shrine across the Kamo River.
The downside of this hotel is that there is no smoking space. If you want to smoke, you have to walk about 5 minutes outside to the smoking area in the shopping district. In Kyoto, even if you carry a portable ashtray, you can be fined for smoking outside, so the smoking area is important for smokers.
Also, it is difficult to work in the room. The reason is that there is no desk; there is a low table, but there are several long silver bars attached as decorations on the plate, making it impossible to place paper or use a laptop due to tilting. There is storage under the shelf, so you cannot fit your legs in either. If you want to work, you have to do so in a café outside.
Experiences during the trip
This time, with the theme of visiting money luck shrines, I visited Shinsenen near the two-jou and went to 'Omikami Shrine' and 'Kinzana Palace' located far south of Kyoto Station.
Shinsenen is a shrine with a pond where the dragon god resides, and it is a very pleasant place.
'Kinzana Palace' is small but very lively. There are many money luck charms, and I bought a gold money luck talisman.
'Kinzana Palace' was not very well known, so it was quite empty. There was also Ebisu, and I bought a keychain of a gold bale.
I feel that visiting two money luck shrines has been good for me, as I have noticed a significant increase in my financial luck since returning from the trip.Get Extra Bonus Coins! Sign up with this user's referral code now!
