Experience of the stay
I stayed at "Umekoji Potel Kyoto" for two nights over the weekend. On Saturday, there was a flea market held in the adjacent Umekoji Park, where I could stroll around and enjoy the local atmosphere and cherry blossoms. It was bustling with families looking at flowers and tourists. There was an old city tram displayed as a café within the park.
Additionally, since the Kyoto Aquarium was within walking distance, I recommend stopping by if you have time. (The jellyfish collection and salamanders are highlights)
On the second floor of the hotel, there is a drink space where alcoholic beverages (draft beer, wine, highballs, etc.) and snacks are offered for free from 3 PM to 10 PM. I enjoyed this in my room and various places around the hotel, which allowed for a relaxing time.
Lounge wear and Venex slippers were provided, making my stay very comfortable. Moreover, the on-site "Umekoji Fermentation Factory" offered a chance to observe the production process of fermented foods, leading to new discoveries about food.
Around the hotel, there is Toji, where light-ups were happening, and I even took a night cherry blossom viewing trip using the share bicycles set up at the hotel, like Luup.
Overall, "Umekoji Potel Kyoto" is a wonderful hotel where you can enjoy both sightseeing and relaxation at the same time, and I would definitely like to use it again on my next visit to Kyoto.
Experiences during the trip
I wanted to see the night illumination at Toji, but it was too far from the city, so I booked this hotel. City hotels tend to be cramped, but this place offers a relaxing stay at the hotel itself. Therefore, it feels wasteful to be out and about all the time. Highly recommended for those who want to unwind at the hotel. Since it was close to Kyoto Station, I stayed here at the end of my trip.Get Extra Bonus Coins! Sign up with this user's referral code now!
