Kyoto Machiya Fukune

Kyoto Gosyo/Karasuma Kyoto|0.38km from Kyoto Karasuma Convention Hall
After staying at minshukus, ryokans and western-style hotels over the last several days, it was a pleasure to end our Japan stay with 2 nights at Kyoto Machiya Fukune. The 2 of us appreciated the extra space of the Sangen machiya compared to our previous lodgings to just chill out, especially when soaking in your personal outdoor hot water (not onsen) bath or the indoor hinoki bath and looking out onto the compact zen garden. Beds were comfortable and bathrooms modern and clean. The included mini-bar (Asahi beer, sake, soft drinks and water) was an unexpected bonus! The welcome tea ceremony with traditional sweets (much better than that offered with the included entry price at the Okochi Sanso Garden in Arashiyama) was a far superior greeting than fronting a hotel reception desk even if one has to wait (about 10 mins) for Miki to arrive (which was forewarned in the pre-stay info); we were informed of our security code when we rang (using the complimentary phone in the separate arrival area) and could access the machiya while waiting. Miki was very helpful with local restaurant and sightseeing tips. Excellent pre-stay information was provided via email from Kyoto Machiya Fukune. While we didn’t use the laundry (complimentary) we did make use of the locker, which we found could store 2 large suitcases and 2 carry-on luggage with room leftover for shopping bags. It cost us ¥1500 for taxi/uber from JR Kyoto stn to the machiya. Once there it is only several minutes’ walk to various train stns or bus stops. Nishiki mkt’s western entrance is about a 10min walk away. This was my 3rd time in Kyoto with the goal to visit sights we hadn’t seen previously like Arashiyama’s bamboo grove and Fushimi Inari shrine. The Randen line’s Shijo-Omiya stn is just over 10mins walk away and the tram takes you into the heart of Arashiyama’s shopping *****, the Kimino forest and near the Tongetsu-kyo bridge. Then take your time to walk to the bamboo grove via Tenryo-ji shrine. They say it best to get to the grove early to beat the tourists, but it rained in the morning, so we took our time and got to the grove about lunch-time. While crowded, it wasn’t as packed as what we thought it would be, given it was a Sunday and also ‘golden week’ (maybe people were eating lunch). We also walked to and visited the Nison-in temple that was recommended by Miki; she highlighted the moss that covered a lot of the grounds; a very worthwhile diversion and IMHO better than the Okochi Sanso Garden we also visited). Had a late lunch in the local area then walked to JR’s Saga-Arashiyama stn; ¥220 to JR’s Inari stn (simple transfer at JR Kyoto stn) with the Fushimi Inari shrine entrance across the road. The place is pricey, but we’re glad we stayed here.

The Royal Park Hotel Iconic Kyoto

Kyoto|0.52km from Kyoto Karasuma Convention Hall
Service: Excellent service from hotel staff, spoke English, accommodating, helpful and cheerful. Location : Quiet area, right next to a train station exit, convenient location. It is close to Kyoto Station by taxi ( approx 5-10 mins), located at an intersection and was easy to grab a taxi. It is not located that close to the main Kyoto shopping street, but it's just a peaceful 5-10 minutes walk away from the main stretch of shopping and food areas. Great to explore the quiet side of Kyoto. Lawson mart just opposite, the quiet lane opposite had lots of quaint cafes and bakeries. What a wonderful find just walking through the little lanes opposite. Away from tourists crowds, immersed in local Kyoto city vibes. Room style and space: Room furnishing decor colours were so soothing, stylish pale sage greens, light cream and oak, modern and pleasant , light cream tones. Fantastic huge single beds and pillows, fluffy and clean pillows, huge sofa, strong showers from rain shower in bathroom. Loved every corner in my corner room. Spacious work desk at the corner, perfect for a working business trip. The balcony flanked the entire room length.. absolutely wonderful.. sat outside on the balcony and people watched. Bathroom amenities and products included face and body moisturizers, combs etc, all wrapped in classic stylish Japanese style. Perks: We received daily vouchers which we could use for lounge cocktail hour (free flow great selections of wines, beers, sake, hot drinks etc drinks and snacks) or for high tea set in the lounge area. The lounge area was so cozy. Wonderful vibes. High tea set was amazing, provided by famous patissierie that's located in the hotel lobby. Wonderful chill experience just before we head out for daily dinners. Facilities: We checked out the mist room and onsen.. so clean and stylish. Felt like we were at a W hotel. Overall super fantastic experience, wonderful ambience, rooms were new, stylish and cleanliness was top notch. Property itself is very new and modern. Perfect for solo or couples. Very quiet (some traffic noise, but not a big deal), peaceful neighborhood, chic furnishings. I loved my stay in Nov so much, I will stay again in future. Downside: The rooms face a few offices opposite, windows are not coated with opaque film.. so just be aware and not walk around underdressed in the room in full view of opposite buildings. Windows are definitely see through! Nothing the day curtains can't fix.

We used it for the university entrance examination. Use it in twin for accompanying children. This hotel was decided by a hotel with a good transportation from the University and a large bath. Reasonable with breakfast! It was convenient and helpful to buy lunch box on the morning of the examination day because the first floor is seven eleven! I am glad that there is free coffee and soft drink at the front desk. Amenities are also placed at the front desk and you choose yourself and bring them into the room. The room was quite compact, but there was a desk and I could study. I'm glad that there is a new and clean humid air cleaner! It is the first experience that there is a washing machine in the room! It seems to be very popular for those who stay overnight. The public bath is also narrow, but the cleaning is well done and satisfied. There was also an open-air bath that could see the sky (laughs) I stayed on the second floor, so it is the floor with a breakfast restaurant. I thought that the guests would be noisy in the morning with the sound and the voice walking in the corridor, but the soundproofing was good without hearing the sound at all. There are many kinds of breakfast and cheap and satisfied! In the daytime of the examination day, it is sightseeing alone. Perfect location for sightseeing! 2 minutes walk to Shijo KARASUMA in the center! The train is also convenient and the best for bus sightseeing! Convenient to go anywhere! Shopping is also very convenient because there are many restaurants. It is recommended for sightseeing, business and examination in Kyoto. I want to use it again.

Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Shinmachi Bettei

Kyoto|0.26km from Kyoto Karasuma Convention Hall
advantage: The service is meticulous. The facilities in the hotel, hot springs, and the neighborhoods around the hotel have very detailed introductions and instructions in English. The hotel room also provides conversion plugs, which is very friendly to foreign tourists. If it is your first time to go to Japan, it will be very comfortable to have such a detailed introduction. The space is well set up. The hotel lobby and guest room area pass through a door that requires a swipe card. The hot spring is also in the guest room area, so you can stroll around in the guest room area wearing the yukata provided by the hotel. There is a small bathhouse. This experience is very Japanese, with a seated shower area and a large bath that is not too big. Carbonic acid is added to the water in the bath. After entering, many small bubbles will gather on the skin, which is very interesting. There are many independent dressing tables in the dressing area where you can sit and blow dry your hair. The whole place is not big, but it is very comfortable to use. The semi-buffet breakfast is exquisite. The buffet section is basically Japanese side dishes, salads, and desserts, and the set menu can be selected from Japanese or Western styles. The ones we chose were all Japanese, including a piece of grilled fish, miso soup, tamagoyaki, chawanmushi and various side dishes. The portions were not large, but one bite left and right made us full without realizing it. shortcoming: The only drawback is that it is a bit far from the subway station and dragging suitcases is a bit tiring. But the surrounding small streets are very easy to stroll around, with many interesting shops.

Resi Stay Nishijin

Kyoto Gosyo/Karasuma Kyoto|2.67km from Kyoto Karasuma Convention Hall
We had mixed reviews of this accomodation Pros - was a very large room two small doubles and a bunk perfect for families. Amenities are great with wifi, lots of kitchen utensils, stove, tea and coffee supplied, toothbrushes available, washing machine and tablets are provided with an inbuilt dryer system in the bathroom. Bathroom and shower area was also spacious. Beds are on the okay side but could be softer. The area itself is nice and quiet with a bus stop right out from we utilised every day, supermarket and Lawsons are across the road and you feel very safe. Would recommend for families. Cons - check in is in a different location 20minute taxi away so we had to catch a train to the check in office when arriving in Kyoto from Osaka, then a taxi to the accomodation after this which chewed up a few hours as we had to wait 45min in addition to check in due to busyness of the office. The area is a bit out of the way of everything next time I might consider staying at a different resi stay location closer to sights and facilities like shops etc. All the restaurants in the area seem to not open for breakfast until 11am so we had to have McDonald’s if we didn’t want to cook or travel too far for breakfast as we have a toddler (early riser). Same occurred at dinner time a lot of restaurants didn’t seem to be open the Monday or Tuesday we were there or opened too late for us (we travelled with a four year old). Our last disappointment was resi stay apparently have a strict not noise at night policy however another room partied until about 3am but there is no front desk or after hours phone number to call to complain / get the noise to stop. Was very frustrating as walls were very thin so we didn’t sleep very well. Overall we would stay with Resi Stay again but at another location due to Nishijin being a bit too out of the way for us.

It was a convenient hotel, close to the subway station and close to Shijo in the downtown area. The room was clean and the bedroom was clean because I took off my shoes and used slippers. The bathroom was also large, and the amenities such as shampoo were healed with a very good scent. The spa was also great, with a large bathtub 2, a barrel bath 2, and a mist sauna, healing the fatigue of the trip. Compared to the size of the bath, the washroom and the dressing room were small. We recommend that you go by shifting time. This time, the time I stayed overlapped with GoToTravel, and it took time to respond to customers using the coupon, so I wanted them to prepare a vaccination certificate in advance and then respond. It took time for our check-in. Also, the front desk is small, so only two people in charge could handle it. I would like you to consider the response of such customers and regular reservation customers like us.

The hotel couldn't find my booking and we spent quite a lot of time checking in as a result, but eventually that was resolved. Staff were friendly and rooms were clean. The shower you had to hold the nozzle or else it would spray all over the bathroom, which was a bit annoying. Beds were a bit on the hard side, but I personally like a slightly softer but supportive mattress. The AC has a very bright light that can make it hard to sleep if the unit is running at night.

1. The location of the homestay is very good. It is located in the core area. It is very close to every scenic spot. The bus stop at the door is very close to Kiyomizu Temple. Of course, no matter how convenient it is, it is not as convenient as staying at Kyoto JR Station. 2. The manager of the hotel is warm and thoughtful and gave detailed check-in tips before check-in. 3. Because the homestay is a wooden structure, living in two bedrooms in the north and south, you can clearly hear the sound of people snoring in the other bedroom, and the sound insulation effect is poor. 4. There is no place to have breakfast nearby, so I had to buy some sandwiches at the convenience store. For dinner, there is a restaurant nearby. 5. The homestay is located in the middle of two tall buildings, the horizontal width is less than 4 meters, the long strip structure, there are no windows on the east and west sides, the lighting is poor, and it is not very bright. 6. The leather slippers used in the homestay are very slippery and very large in size, making it inconvenient to go up and down the stairs. It is recommended to change to plastic slippers, everyone feels good, and it is recommended to change the toothbrush to a different color to avoid confusion. 7. It is recommended to install a mirror on the second floor so that the second floor is ok. Someone washes it. Otherwise, it is inconvenient to wash all in the bathroom on the first floor. Generally speaking, in order to experience the Japanese lifestyle, I gave this homestay 80 points. Although there are still some areas that need improvement, the overall experience of staying in is ok. It is a bit exaggerated to say that it is a luxury villa.

Unfortunately, it was a stay during the heavy rain warning. However, the building was another heaven. It was surrounded by buildings with offices and restaurants, but when it entered, it was wrapped in silence surrounded by green. In the corona, it was just resumed from July, and the guest of the ta guest was not yet returned, and it was possible to spend it slowly in the hot spring many times in the rental state. The front desk and Nakai were polite and comfortable, the dishes were good, clean, and one piece of one piece, but I could feel the hospitality of the long established inn in Kyoto. It was a pity that there were few guests and I didn't put it in the public bath, but I would like to visit again.
