This way the best hotel by far! We stayed in 6 different hotels in various areas in Japan, and this one was the best! The room is clean, spacious, counter space, amazing shower, sitting area with table so we could eat there, and the mattress was amazing! The lighting and the colors in the room makes the room cozy and beautiful. We chose the “garden view.”it was cheaper and BEAUTIFUL! So glad we did! We walked to Nijo Castle and the Sento Imperial Castle bec it was close. We also walked to nishiki market, a bit longer walk, but we enjoyed it would highly recommend! I would definitely stay again!
