You'll have no end of sightseeing choices when staying in Sakyo Ward. Kyoto Municipal Zoo is a good place to start here, but there are loads of other interesting places to check out. Kiyomizu Temple, Nijō Castle, and Kyoto Imperial Palace are close to the wildlife attraction and and will cap off your day nicely.

10/10 Exceptional! (104 reviews)

This accommodation is premium indeed! It’s a beautiful place to stay. Everything looks newly done. Clean, spacious room with everything you need there like in-room washer/dryer, flatscreen tv, large couch, weight scale, kitchen amenities, microwave/oven, fridge, and modernized bathroom and shower. And oh, the Toto bidet that warms the tush, we will miss also. :) You can get free toothbrushes, toothpaste, swabs/cotton pads, tea, shaving cream, liquid detergent, and few other packets and reasonably priced bottled water (cheaper than 7-11) you can get from the front desk. It’s not far from Kyoto Station by car, close to a lot of eateries, stores, and 7-11 and 8-9min walk away from two transit lines. Staff cleans rooms periodically depends on length of stay. Some front desk women are pretty quiet but friendly and professional. Will stay there again next time and recommend to my friends and family.
