Kyoto University is often visited by travelers to Sakyo Ward. But this historic university shouldn't be your only stop around this part of town. Kiyomizu Temple is close by and worth exploring.

10/10 Exceptional! (28 reviews)

The room layout was excellent and the facility/room are in great condition. We had excellent view of the Kyoto city and Kyoto tower from the room. The staff were very friendly and reminded us that it is going to rain when we are getting out in the afternoon and suggested us to take umbrella (which they provided). We had wonderful time staying at this facility.
