No staff on site, you have to walk to another location to pick up the key. The walls are paper thin so if you're a light sleeper you might not get much rest. This is basically an industrial area with very few restaurants close by. Much better options in Kyoto.

R6.8.11 Accommodation. Used for family trips by car around Lake Biwa and Kyoto.On the first day, the course will take you around Metasequoia Avenue, Yumekyobashi Castle Road, Larikona Oehachiman, etc., and the next day you will enjoy Kyoto. Hotels around Lake Biwa are surprisingly expensive, but since I often use booking.com, I got discounts, and the parking lot was 500 yen, so I chose this one.A slight problem is that when checking in, you must first go through the formalities at a different location a little further away and then go to the hotel. It's really troublesome. Unfortunately, the 500 yen parking lot is full and it is even more inconvenient to have to find a parking lot by yourself. However, since we were scheduled to check in after 9pm, we decided to go directly to the hotel after communicating via email. (A system where you will receive instructions on how to enter the room by email if you pay the accommodation tax using the URL in the email on the day) Lucky!!The hotel was located in a residential area a little far away, so it was quiet at night and in the morning. I was able to spend a comfortable time in the room.Perhaps because I entered the hotel directly, there was a form with check-in and check-out times, address, name, and contact information.However, I didn't have a ballpoint pen in the room, so I went to a convenience store to buy one, but I wish I had a writing utensil along with the paper.For parking, go to Times 24 Tofukuji Dai 2 near Tofukuji Station if you go along the river. The hotel is a 5 minute walk 350 meters away. This is recommended if you are staying directly at the hotel. Parking is relatively cheap at 700 yen for 24 hours. Fushimi Inari's Senbon Torii is also relatively close.

Staff were helpful and friendly (even took out bags to our room for us). Everything was simple and laid out clearly. When we left, my friend commented “all the places we have stayed have been so clean”

Stayed in July and unfortunately got the 4th floor(top floor) which was very hot. Rooms were nice with laundry, refrigerator and a microwave.The neighborhood is very quiet (residential area) so you have to come near Kyoto central for any decent food options. Tofukuji station is a 7 min walk with some options.The check-in process involves collecting keys from a laundry across the main road which was not mentioned while booking through Expedia.

Super clean rooms, great beds and quiet location! A little further from the center of Kyoto but connected with a beautiful walk along the water!
