The reason I decided to book this hotel was because of the lounge and big bath!

Bubu-zuke (rice with broth) buffet

I was very happy to have the alcohol service!
At night, there was a Bubu-zuke (rice with broth) buffet, and I could choose toppings freely and pour the broth over it!
In the morning, from 6:00 to 7:00, there was a special coffee and smoothie service, but I couldn’t wake up early enough to enjoy it^^;
The big bath is open until 25:00. The morning bath is available until 10:00.
There was also a massage chair that I used after bathing.
Check-out was at 11:00, and I was able to relax in the morning too!
The hotel had a beautiful and comfortable atmosphere with modern Japanese style art featuring Nishijin-ori, allowing me to feel the culture of Kyoto.
It's conveniently located a 5-minute walk from Shijo Karasuma.
There was also a service where you could receive original sweets by following the hotel’s Instagram.
This is one of the hotels I would love to stay at again! (^^)
Experiences during the trip
On the first day, I went to Uji, which I had wanted to visit for a long time. I visited Uji Byodoin, Uji River, Uji Shrine, and the Genji Monogatari Museum. I could really enjoy the world of the Taiga drama, wondering if Fujiwara no Michinaga and Murasaki Shikibu had visited this place!
After that, I returned to Kyoto City and went to Yasaka Koshindo near Kiyomizu Temple. I wrote my wishes on colorful monkey charms and prayed. In the evening, I returned to the hotel and had a light meal at the lounge.
On the second day, I went to Ginkaku-ji. I had been to Kinkaku-ji last year, so this time I went to Ginkaku-ji. I strolled leisurely through the well-maintained garden where I could feel the beauty of simplicity, and walked along the nearby Philosopher's Path. For lunch, I had yuba dishes at a restaurant called "Junsyo" near Nanzenji.
From there, I walked to Heian Shrine. Unfortunately, the main hall was under renovation, but there were Tachibana fruit growing next to it.
Finally, I went to Yasaka Shrine and prayed for beauty at the Mikoshinji shrine. Although it was still early for cherry blossoms in Kyoto, I could feel a hint of early spring with the plum and camellia flowers blooming!Get Extra Bonus Coins! Sign up with this user's referral code now!
