Ideally set in the Shimogyo Ward district of Kyoto, JP INN Kyoto Ekimae Mongakucho is situated 800 metres from TKP Garden City Kyoto, 1.5 km from Kyoto Shigaku Kaikan Conference Hall and 1.9 km from Sanjusangen-do Temple. The property is around 3.1 km from Kyoto International Manga Museum, 3.3 km from Gion Shijo Station and 3.5 km from Kiyomizu-dera Temple. The property is 700 metres from Kyoto Station, and within 1.8 km of the city centre. We stayed in JP INN Kyoto for 3 days. We were very impressed to the attention to detail information the staff provided in their binder, we were able to learn proper etiquettes during our stay. The room we stayed at had everything a regular hotel would have, perhaps even more! The linens, towels and our bedding were very clean and from the moment we walked in to our room, we felt very delighted that our room was well kept. The location was also very accommodating, just a short walk, less than 10 min or a quick taxi ride. Plenty of restaurants and cobini stores around the area and one of the best location if you want to tour Kyoto. Highly, highly recommend. We will definitely look into booking at JP INN in the near future when we visit Kyoto again!

Situated in Kyoto, within 500 metres of Samurai Kembu Kyoto and 500 metres of Shoren-in Temple, HOTEL LEGASTA KYOTO SHIRAKAWA SANJO features accommodation with free WiFi. This 2-star inn has air-conditioned rooms with a private bathroom. Kiyomizu-dera Temple is 2.2 km from the inn and Kyoto International Manga Museum is 2.3 km away. What we like best is the layout of the room. Having a separate shower and toilet is perfect. I love that they provide umbrellas to which came in handy when it rained one day during our 3 night 4 day stay. And everything we wanted to see is walking distance from the hotel LEGASTA.

First the rate… GREAT PRICE for the … Location very near to the big train station and buses… (8 minutes walk)no way you’re going to get lost here. They will send you a txt after booking kind of weird, but don’t worry bottom line they respect times; cking IN/OUT on rhe times they said. They are PLENTY of lockers near them where you can store your suitcases 🧳. It is self service they have all supplies by reception, it was PERFECT for me bc I don’t like people in my room. They have good coffee and a kitchenette. The room hd enough space for me (solo trip) and the washer/dryer was a plus! It’s included! People in Kyoto like in all JN are polite enough to assist you if they can understand you (download a translation app recommended) however they aren’t very friendly, maybe because the language barrier.
