Easy access to public transport but you can walk to the places of your interest around the center of Kyoto such as NISHIKI MARKET (15 min), SHIJYO STREET (about the same) or with a little stretch, KAWATA MACHI (40 min) and even GION. We actually enjoyed walking to YASAKA SHRINE. This property shows some aging sign here and there but we did not have any problem. It's nice to have a common Onsen-style bath. There is no parking space on the property but there are many coin-parkings within a few minutes walking distance. A Seven-eleven convenience store is right in front of the main gate which is very handy.
