Non-smoking & sustainable practices
“The newness here is a distinct advantage, as is the location, removed from the busiest streets but still an easy walk to Shijo station. I particularly like that they have prioritized modern comforts and a sustainable ethos. For a straightforward, comfortable base in Kyoto, it seems a solid choice.”
