Rihga Gran Kyoto
This property was recommended by a local friend as this was my 2nd Kyoto visit within 2yrs. Incredibly convenient location & a few mins walk to Kyoto Station. Many convenience store & small restaurants in the immediate area as we tried a small local izakaya pub late at night after a late arrival ...
