“Staying near both the Shijo subway and Karasuma train station really streamlines getting around Kyoto, and the hotel's proximity to the Shijo shopping street makes it easy to grab a bite or browse. I appreciate that some rooms offer a bit more space than you typically find in Japanese hotels, which is a plus if you're traveling with friends or family. For a solid base in a convenient location, Sotetsu Fresa Inn Kyoto-Shijokarasuma definitely holds its own.”
