Fantastic view. Very spacious. Staff were super helpful. Absolutely the Kyoto experience we were looking for. The short walk to Kyoto station made it a great base for our time in Kyoto. The dining area in the room was super helpful for a family of 5 with fussy eaters. Small touches everywhere that made it a very special place to stay and a wonderful memory.
