✨Shijo Kawaramachi Onsen Sora Terrace Kyoto is very close to Kyoto Kawaramachi Station. The most attractive part is the rooftop bar, where you can enjoy a drink while overlooking the Kamo River, Kiyomizu Temple and other scenery. What’s even more special is that there is a row of seats with foot baths, which feels quite chill. I booked the Shinpulsuti【Breakfast included】(JPY 152000/3 nights) 🛏️The room decoration is Japanese style and gives people a very high-end feeling. The floor is covered with tatami. The bed is of moderate hardness, and there is a sofa and a table next to it. 👘There is a kettle for making coffee and tea, and the refrigerator also has two bottles of water per person. In addition, there are yukatas and geta for guests to wear in the hotel, and even tabi socks are available, so it is very complete. 🚿The bathroom is quite spacious, but there is no bathtub. Probably the guests I will go to the hot springs. The toothpaste provided is the familiar brand Ora2, and there is also mouthwash, facial cleanser, toner and lotion, so you don’t have to worry about forgetting to bring your own. ♨️The men's bath and women's bath will switch at designated times, and the scenery you see will be different. Yasaka-no-Yu is like an infinity pool where you can enjoy the natural scenery of Higashiyama while soaking in the hot spring. The water was deep enough for us to stand in, and the water pressure provided a great massage effect. After soaking in the hot springs, you can enjoy free drinks and popsicles. The hotel has a washing machine and a clothes dryer. But there are only two each, so the waiting time will be longer. The smoking room, microwave oven and beverage vending machines will all be on the same floor. 🍱Breakfast will be a two-layer exquisite Kyoto Kaiseki bento "Koto Tamatebako", which can be picked up at the front desk and taken to the room for eating. You can also dine on the rooftop terrace. The bento also comes with miso soup and tea. But eating the same thing for 3 days is a bit boring. . .

The location is excellent, the hotel facilities are new, the hotel room is very clean, the bathroom corners are cleaned quite well, the rooftop scenery is excellent, the Kamo River scenery is unobstructed, it is worth visiting again

Personally, I think a hotel with quite high value for money 👍🏻 First, the receptionist service gave very good, detailed introduction to the hotel facilities Second, although the room is not big, but the sparrow is small all-encompassing, the bed is large, the refrigerator can put quite a lot of drinks, there is also a double sparse and Yi, the bathroom is ok Third, there is a hot spring to soak in, both sides of the bathing soup men and women soak every other day, one side in the open air, one side in the garden, are very comfortable, after the soak also have drinks and ice cream (24 hours available) Fourth, there is an open-air bar on the top floor, there is a card when checking in for you to have a free drink and soak your feet at certain times, although it is very cold when you go up, but it is great to have a drink with your feet and see the scenery when you go up there Highly recommended 👍🏻👍🏻😆

After a night of heavy snow and wind, we finally waited for the sunrise and welcomed the sun. The wind and snow died down under the sunshine, and it was so beautiful to see the streets of Kyoto covered with snow. #Soak in hot springs and watch the snow on the top floor of the hotel

From the rooftop of the hotel where you stay, you can overlook the scenery of Kiyomizu Temple and Yasaka Shrine. From dusk on, you can watch the sky slowly darken on the rooftop, and then you can see the night view of Kyoto. A fire is placed on the rooftop for guests to keep warm, which is very considerate. The air on the rooftop is very good, the scenery is beautiful, and you can't hear any bustling noise at all. In the quiet atmosphere, you can relax yourself and appreciate the beauty of Kyoto at the same time.

It just opened in 2022 and is located in Shijo Kawaramachi, Kyoto's equivalent of Causeway Bay in Hong Kong. In addition to the open-air bath, the most praiseworthy thing is the rooftop garden and the exquisite breakfast set. Watch the sunrise over Dongshan Mountain from the empty courtyard, taste delicious food, soak your feet in warm hot springs, and feel filled with happiness from head to toe. #Kyoto #Hotel Recommendation
