Pros

Located in a quiet street with garden views

On-site minimarket for convenient shopping

Bicycle rental service available for local exploration

Situated in Kamigyo Ward, near the Kyoto Imperial Palace and traditional Nishijin weaving district

Cons

29 miles distance from Itami Airport

No on-site restaurant

“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.”
