Location is right next to Kyoto station. The choice of pajamas is so cute. The room size is huge . Breakfast is very traditional and nice experience, so be prepared and don’t expect something western there.

The public bath was a huge bonus I hadn’t quite counted on enjoying as much as I did. Perfect place to unwind after a day of walking. The welcome drink station was a nice sprinkle of hospitality.
