Multiple dining options within 300-1640.4 ft, including The Sodoh Higashiyama Kyoto and local restaurants

“For the price, the location is superb, putting you right by Yasaka Pagoda yet tucked away from the tourist bustle; plus, a rooftop offers city vistas and pagoda views. The spacious rooms have thoughtful touches, and major Kyoto sights are easily walkable, making it a great base. It's a cool, well-situated spot for exploring.”
