When guiding overseas visitors who want to go to Kyoto, it’s hard to choose a hotel. Kyoto has a lot of tourist spots. Where should we stay? . . Sato recommended SOWAKA, but unfortunately it was fully booked on the day I was planning to guide my American friend and I couldn’t make a reservation. Bummer!
I wanted to take her to the major tourist spots, so I was advised by my Kyoto friend that it would be best to stay in a location in the city center that is convenient for getting around, and so I chose Shijo Kawaramachi Onsen Soraniwa Terrace Kyoto Annex.
ajor Kyoto attractions
It turned out great! Most of the tourist attractions on the east side of Kyoto are within walking distance from the hotel. We took a taxi to Kiyomizu-dera Temple (1100 yen) in the morning and walked to Kodai-ji Temple. After that, we encountered many tourist attractions on the way back to the hotel, so we were able to fully enjoy Kyoto. Gion, Pontocho, and Nishiki Market are also within walking distance from this hotel.
Our favorite, the rooftop bar
There is a rooftop bar where you can enjoy a drink while soaking your feet in a foot bath. It overlooks the Kamo River and Kyoto city.
We were able to spend a relaxing time thinking back the day in Kyoto. I realized how important it is to relax. The effect of soothing your tired feet after walking in the hot spring is also immense.
The bar was full before dinner time. Very popular with overseas visitors!
All rooms have an open-air bath
The open-air bath in the room is, of course, a hot spring bath drawn from the hot spring water. There is a shower room at the front, and the open-air bath at the back. There is also a large public bath on the top floor, where you can also enjoy the hot spring water while looking out over Kyoto city.
There is a wash area at the front.
After taking a bath, you can cool off on the terrace of your room while drinking a drink in your room (all inclusive).
Delicious Food
This time, we stayed at the hotel for two nights. For the first night, we booked for a dinner and breakfast. For the second night, we booked only breakfast. All the meals were delicious. The dishes made us feel that we were in Kyoto. The tableware was also lovely. For me, I had hard time explaining the typical Kyoto vegetables and ingredients in English.
Here is a part of the dinner.
Breakfast looked like this. We ate a lot in the morning and were energized to go sightseeing.
最後にお部屋のご紹介。一日、動き回ったこともあり、夜はしっかり眠ることができました。
