Summary
I had a nice stay at “Kaba Kyoto Shijo.” The hotel was a modern Japanese design which was a style often seen in Kyoto. Also, the room was new, clean and very comfortable to spend time in. Since there are only 12 rooms in the hotel, it felt as if I was staying at a hideout. This time there were not many guests staying due to the influence of the Corona virus, but it is normally a popular hotel that is difficult to make a reservation. I would love to stay here again.
