"A very unique place to stay in - you stay in a room within a magazine shop, and at night you have the whole shop to yourself."

“Imagine sleeping inside a curated magazine shop, surrounded by intriguing books and artful objects-that's the core appeal here, steps away from Nijo castle. I think it's a remarkably quiet and clean place, where you're left alone with the entire shop at night; a complimentary drink ticket sweetens the experience, allowing you to explore other local spots. However, during the shoulder season, and on rainy days, it might be a bit chilly.”
