Head to Kiyotaki River and spend an afternoon strolling along the water's edge. There's something about being near a river that makes you feel calm and peaceful.

You'll soon see why this Kita Ward flowing body of water is visited by many travelers. If you're searching for other things to keep you busy, Nijō Castle, Ryoan-ji Temple, and Katsura Imperial Villa are in the area too. They won't take very long to get to from Kiyotaki River.

Great stay at Kabin Hotel! Our room was cozy and clean with comfy beds. The location was outstanding - near restaurant options and the Nishiki Market. Easy bus nearby to the Arashiyama Monkey Park and Bamboo Forrest. You can rent a boat to row across from the monkey park to the bamboo forests, which was a great extra surprise. Staff recommended a great restaurant / hibachi style all you can eat. At the end of our stay, we needed to store our luggage for the day, and they were amazing and had a huge space for this at the other location around the corner. Super easy. Wed absolutely stay here again!
