Haruya Umekoji is so charming and authentic. Less than 10 minutes walk from the Umekoji station, and right next to the aquarium. The staff was very helpful and they even have bicycles you can rent out for the day (trust me, it’s the better way to get around Kyoto).
An incredible experience. We enjoyed the traditional building, helpful stay, serene ambience very comfortable. Lunch included was delicious and also a lovely traditional experience.
2 stops from kyoto Station if you're taking bus which cost RM 8 per trip. If you choose walking then would be 15-20mins. Staffs are extremely polite and friendly (really love them so much) You need to be quiet and careful during the stays becoz of the building structure, can easily hear people next door talking or walking. With quite a strong wood smell as it's a 100 years old building. The room is clean, overall a good stay and recommended to someone who wants to experience a traditional Japanese culture stay.
