Jūjō Station (Kintetsu) × Recommended Accommodation for a Healing Solo TripHighly rated for dining at Hotel·Ryokan

I stay here several times a year and keep coming back—the natural aroma scents and carefully selected ingredients soothe me every time. The new summer welcome drink, which wasn’t available before, looked refreshing and was gentle on the body. Since it was a Multiple Night Stay, I was able to try all three syrups. Mint when I want to feel refreshed, cinnamon when my stomach feels tired, and red shiso when I feel like I might lose to the summer heat—each cup was truly comforting. I hope this becomes a regular offering from now on. The spiced chai at breakfast also felt uniquely special and was delicious.

The air conditioning wasn’t working properly, but they promptly moved me to another Room.

I made a Reservation for a single Room and arrived about 30 minutes before check-in on the day, but the front desk staff told me the Room was ready, so I was able to check in right away and head up to my Room. Their service was excellent. When I entered, I was surprised to find a spacious twin Room. Since I had originally booked a single Room, I really appreciated being able to relax in such a roomy space. The Room, bathroom, and toilet were all very clean. I would definitely like to stay here again.

I looked forward to seeing the familiar front desk staff again and enjoying the first bath in the morning, so this was my third stay this year. It’s conveniently located just two subway stops from Kyoto Station, with two convenience stores nearby. On rainy days, you can even borrow an umbrella. In the Room, I line up my personal items in their usual places and it truly feels like home. I’m planning to visit Kyoto again next year, and I’m looking forward to seeing the “Room type assigned on arrival…” plan announced on IKYU.com.

A perfect stopover point for a long drive. New and clean. There’s also a bath, and they accommodated my requests. The staff provided just the right level of service. I wasn’t bothered by noise from neighboring rooms or outside. And it’s affordable. I stayed here on both the outbound and return legs of my trip home by car. It was great to be able to secure a parking space with a Reservation as well. For the return trip, I considered another Hotel, but choosing this one again was the right decision.

This was my second stay at the accommodation, and I had a pleasant experience again. The room was clean and comfortable. Thank you very much. The large public bath was also very enjoyable; however, I noticed that while there were four mirrors and hair dryers in the changing area, there were only two chairs available. Some guests had to stand while drying their hair. Additionally, the chairs were quite low, making it difficult to see one's face in the mirror when seated, so many guests stood for skincare as well. Although this is not a place where one spends a long time, it was the only inconvenience I experienced during my stay. I look forward to staying here again. Thank you very much!

When I unexpectedly couldn’t make it home and looked for a place near Kyoto Station, it was a huge help to find that check-in was available until 5:00 a.m. The single room in the main building is compact, but it has everything needed for a solo stay. The unit bath has been renovated and is clean, and the water pressure is more than sufficient. I felt comfortable staying here. I would gladly stay again if I have the chance.

More than worth the price. Unlimited coffee was also available. Since I take baths both at night and in the morning, I was delighted that they happily provided extra towels. After visiting shrines and working up a sweat, I checked in, got extra towels for the large public bath, rested a bit, went out for dinner, and then took another bath. Of course I also bathed in the morning. The shampoo and other amenities were branded products. The breakfast buffet was well stocked as well. I will definitely stay again.

My brother and I stayed here for the Gion Ato Festival. This was my second visit; the Room was quiet, and the front desk staff were very helpful. This time as well, my brother and I talked on the way to Kyoto Station about what a good Hotel it is. Thank you for your hospitality.

The view of Toji Temple from the window was absolutely stunning! It’s located very close, so I took a short walk at night to see the beautifully lit-up temple. With just one stop from Kyoto Station, the location is highly accessible. There’s also a Ministop downstairs and a 24-hour supermarket nearby, making it incredibly convenient. Additionally, the staff at reception were very polite and helpful, which I truly appreciated. I’ll definitely choose this place again when visiting Kyoto!

While enjoying the view overlooking the town, I sipped coffee and reflected on life. Though brief, I appreciated learning about Kyoto through the provided books. I look forward to visiting again. Thank you.

I stayed here on a business trip. Having a large public bath is really great! It’s available until 1:00 a.m. Perhaps because I used it quite late at night, I was able to enjoy a relaxing bath all by myself. The Room I stayed in was spacious, and the bed was large as well, so it was very comfortable. I’d like to stay again if I have the chance. However, the massage chair felt quite worn out, and it made me hesitate to use it. I was looking forward to it, so that was the only disappointment—but overall, including the staff’s service, I was very satisfied.

This was my second stay. The Hotel is set a little back from the road, so it’s hard to spot, and it was unclear whether the entrance was actually for the Hotel. I got lost on the way there with my phone in hand. However, inside the Hotel there is a free coin laundry and dryer, as well as a large public bath. The Room doesn’t have a toilet, but it’s private and I could relax, so overall it was fine. I’ll stay again because the large public bath and coin laundry were great.

First time staying here. The Room was nicely cooled on arrival, so it was comfortable from the start. We stayed as a couple, but there were three sets of futons laid out, which was a mystery. The living area and bedroom are separate, and the space is more than sufficient. It’s fine for eating out or doing light cooking. There’s also a washing machine, so we could wash our clothes that day and have them dry by the next day using the bathroom dryer, which was very helpful. It was an extremely hot day, so even walking in the morning felt a bit tough, but I’m glad we could take a stroll around To-ji Temple. For breakfast we chose yuba (tofu skin). Around 8:30, they delivered a pot and IH cooktop, an ohitsu rice container, simmered dishes in small tiered boxes, and salmon. The taste and portions were just right. If breakfast could be served a little earlier, we might be able to do more before check-out. There were occasional loud noises from what seemed like the first floor (?) which startled us; it may be due to the building structure and some kind of work being done downstairs. It was a great stay—spending some time in Kyoto almost made us feel like locals.

I often stay here when traveling to Kyoto. This time, it was a Multiple Night Stay, and I would have appreciated replenishment of amenities. I would be happy if at least the toothbrush could be replaced with a new one. The front desk staff were very pleasant, and they were especially helpful when I parked my car in the parking lot.

It was helpful to be able to leave my luggage in the shared space before check-in.

Conveniently located with easy transportation access and close to Kyoto Station. We booked a Room with a double bed. As we stayed as a couple, it felt a bit small, but we were satisfied considering the price. As expected in Kyoto, all the other guests were international travelers.

Children used to living in apartments were excited about staying in a traditional Kyoto-style house. The cleanliness was well-maintained, allowing us to relax and enjoy our stay. Seeing Toji Temple at night and in the morning was truly wonderful.
