Great location, many bus route options to and from core areas like Arashiyama and Gion (1min walk from the hotel onto the main road). Right beside a convenience store. Right across the street from a grocery store. Main Street beside the hotel is one of the main shopping strips that connects Nishiki Market. Be aware no outside food to be eaten in the lobby. Base room includes a wall bench short table and stool where we’d enjoy small meals.
