Experience of the stay
This is an area and hotel that allows you to feel the hidden charms of Kyoto and the beauty of daily life, while ensuring good accessibility and convenience, with traditional residential areas and townscapes just a few minutes away on foot. I decided on this hotel because it is located in the Shijo area, and I like the spaces and hospitality of the Agora group. The hotel staff is kind and supportive.

There is no hustle and bustle typical of the city center; once you step into the back alleys, you enter a quiet residential area, making it safe even for women traveling alone.
The room is comfortable with a desk and drink environment suitable for remote work. The type of room I had did not have a view.
Experiences during the trip
Within walking distance, there are casual Italian restaurants suitable for women dining alone, a reservation-only breakfast with stone-cooked rice, and stylish coffee specialty shops. It’s a hotel and area where you can enjoy yourself even if you choose a hotel without much thought.
Recommended for dinner:
Italian dining vicolo (just steps from the hotel)
* The salad with live squid was delicious.
Recommended for a break during work:
IOLITE - a coffee specialty shop (3 minutes on foot from the hotel)
* Various types of coffee and carefully selected sweets.
Recommended for breakfast:
Jun-sai Imari - a Japanese restaurant (less than a 10-minute walk from the hotel)
* Reservation is basically required. I visited because I wanted to eat stone-cooked rice. It was a traditional Japanese breakfast.
Additionally, take the opportunity to explore Kyoto more deeply. I enjoyed a traditional sweet shop tour guided by staff from Kyoto's department store and lunch at 'Benoit Kyoto,' produced by Alain Ducasse, located within the grounds of The Hotel Seiryu Kyoto Kiyomizu. I spent time walking and experiencing the town, history, and feelings, just as much as I enjoyed eating.
