Kyoto Umekoji Kadensho (Kyoritsu Resort)

I suddenly got some time off and decided on a trip to Kyoto. Since I made the Reservation the day before, it was almost fully booked and I couldn’t choose the Room type, but the price was reasonable so I went ahead and booked.The building was very clean, and I was happy that the bath was an Onsen!Both dinner and breakfast were delicious—I was very satisfied.In addition to the welcome drink, there were plenty of free services to enjoy, which felt like a great deal…All of the staff were friendly, so I had a very comfortable stay.It was a last-minute trip, but I’m truly glad I stayed here.Super, super satisfied!!!One more thing:The aroma used throughout the property smelled wonderful and helped me relax even more.Thank you very much.

We stayed for one night and two days in Kyoto with a 60-year-old grandfather and grandmother, a 7-year-old girl, and a 5-year-old boy. After taking off our shoes at check-in, we could walk around the building barefoot (and the kids could even run around), which thrilled our grandchildren. The property was very clean and well maintained throughout, so we felt comfortable and at ease.The Room was also clean and a good size (a four-bed Room). Not having a bathtub was no problem at all; instead, it meant there was more living space in the Room, which was another big plus.Since it was a Saturday stay, we expected the large public bath to be crowded, but it wasn’t too busy. We were able to relax and soak three times—after check-in, after dinner, and before breakfast—which was wonderful. The longer bathing hours are also a great point. We also used the private bath; after only a short wait it was our turn, and we had fun splashing around with our two grandchildren.Dinner is served in two time slots (either starting at 5:30 PM or 7:30 PM). We chose 5:30 PM, and it didn’t feel rushed. The timing of each dish being served was excellent, and above all, the food was far better than we expected (no offense)—all four of us were very satisfied.For breakfast buffet as well, perhaps thanks to the gentle announcement asking guests to stagger their dining times, it never felt overly crowded and we could enjoy it at a relaxed pace (there are plenty of seats and lots of space). The breakfast buffet was also very delicious.This time we chose this Accommodation (our first stay) because our grandchildren requested visiting Kyoto Aquarium and the Railway Museum. It turned out to be an excellent Accommodation with nothing to complain about.We would love to stay again.Highly recommended.Thank you very much.P.S. I called earlier about my grandchild’s forgotten hat—once again, the staff member who answered handled it kindly as well, which made us like this place even more.
