Shijo Kawaramachi Onsen Soraniwa Terrace Kyoto Annex

Everything was wonderful—I truly feel I found the best Accommodation. I was so happy I almost cried. I didn’t want to leave...Below are the highlights, especially what I loved most: - The Room size was just right (since I was traveling solo). - There were 16 complimentary drinks in the fridge (beer, wine, juice, sparkling water, tea, etc.), all free to enjoy. - For the beer selection, having both local craft beer and Asahi—and even chilled glasses—was a fantastic bonus. - The Onsen left my skin silky smooth and felt unbelievably relaxing. - It was so quiet and comfortable that it felt like there were no other guests nearby. - There is a dedicated entrance for the annex building, making access to Kawaramachi and Gion even more convenient. - The in-room TV allows you to log in to Prime Video and Netflix—perfect for a comfortable late night (lol). - There are AC outlets and USB ports under the sofa, so you can relax on the sofa while charging your devices! (Most Accommodations only have charging spots near the bed or by the entrance, which makes it hard to charge while using your devices.) - From the open-air bath, you can look down over Kiyomizu-dera Temple and the streets of Gion—something you rarely get.Note: I stayed alone as a woman on a weekday right after Golden Week. My Room was a double room on the first floor.

I stayed here because the Accommodation offers Rooms with views of the Kamogawa River and an open-air bath.The Onsen was gentle on the body and very relaxing—exactly as expected.I had consulted in advance about ingredients I cannot eat, and their response was excellent.It seems the Hotel has several exits, but this wasn’t explained at check-in, so I think it would be even better if that information were provided.I walked to Kennin-ji Temple, and it was quite close when I happened to use a back exit I found.
