The price was reasonable and the room was spacious and clean.I was planning to go to Fushimi Inari early the next day, so it was convenient that it was right nearby.It's a little confusing to enter the room, and you have to pay for loungewear, so I thought it would be helpful to have one.Other than that, I was very satisfied.

The key to visiting Inari, is be there at 5am before the trains start showing up. You will have the place to yourself until 6am, then 'they' invade the space. You honestly will not find better in the area. 5 minute walk from everything you would want in east Kyoto.The only downside is there is no staff on hand to assist you should you need it. There is also no elevator and you will be dragging your stuff at least one floor, possibly 4. Not really a deal breaker but these would have been good to know. Now you know. Pack light and pay em a visit.

I can't find any reason not to recommend this hotel. It has double the space (compared to other hotels), wet and dry separation, and a washing machine! ! ! There is also a photo printer! (Although I didn’t use it), self-check-in (if you booked on klook, if you can’t receive the check-in code, you can contact klook customer service, he will tell you), the room is clean, the place is large, and the facilities are completeNot to mention the location, it is near Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine and there are two nearby train stations. You can go to Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine in the morning and evening. If you don’t live in Gion, why not choose here?The price is pretty good (compared to other places). I didn’t eat their breakfast (I don’t know). You’re already staying here. For dinner, look to the south near Fushimi Momoyama Station. It’s all about food.

It's very close to Fushimi Inari Station. Self-service check-in is very convenient. The room is spacious and the washing and drying machine in the bathroom is very practical.

The room was very clean, spacious, and very comfortable. I'm so satisfied that I don't want to tell you about it because it's the best value for money. In particular, I would like people who are going to Fushimi Inari Taisha to use this service.

There is a check-in machine on the second floor, slide to the right to use it. If you enter the number sent to you by email in advance, a photo of your face will be taken, and the key box on the left side will open. (QR code)There are 4 floors and no elevator.There are two rooms on each floor from the 2nd to the 4th floor, but because they are across the aisle, there is no need to worry about noise.The room is equipped with disposable slippers, a drum-type washing machine, a washlet-type toilet, a hair dryer, an air purifier, a TV, and a printer (mystery), so you won't have any problems.Perfect with 2 outlets and USB on the bedside.The only thing missing is a parking lot, but if you walk to the right after exiting the hotel, you will see LAWSON, and on the right side there is probably the cheapest parking lot in the area.Parking lot called Nippon System Bank Fushimi Inari.I was surprised at the price of 200 yen at night lolThere are restaurants around LAWSON, so there is no need to travel far.There was a restaurant on the first floor of the hotel.Hotels are cheap if you book in advance, and are highly recommended for family trips or trips with friends.

Clean, spacious, quiet, and full of amenities. There is a feeling of luxury and refinement in all the details. Check-in was easy, and staff were responsive, friendly, and prompt. Very convenient location for trains to Kyoto sightseeing spots and to Osaka, but not a lot of variety in restaurants in the area. Great location if you want to explore Fushimi Inari at night or early morning!

I stayed there for two days during the festival. I was happy that it was close to the station and a convenience store.It was a very clean and spacious room with a sofa and table, and it looked like a MUJI model room. It was also convenient to be able to use the drum type washing machine. I was surprised that I could stay at this price.The bidding method was also interesting.I would definitely like to stay there again!

It was close to the station, the room was clean, and it was very comfortable.However, the check-in process was a bit troublesome, and there was long hair on the washing machine, and there were hand marks on the sliding door of the room, so I was concerned about the dirt.Other than these two points, I am very satisfied, so I will use them again when I have another opportunity.
