Comfortable Experience
This time, I stayed at Hiyori Stay Kamogawa, located near Shichijo Bridge, just a 14-minute walk from Kyoto Station. The Japanese-style apartment features a kitchen and offers stunning night views from the scenic rooms. The light Japanese-style breakfast is rich and perfect for families or long-term stays. It’s a 15-minute bus ride to Kiyomizu Temple, and you can enjoy a stroll along the Kamogawa River to admire cherry blossoms or relax on the summer terraces.
Nearby attractions include Kyoto Tower and Sanjusangendo. In the evening, the Kamogawa River promenade is ideal for a walk, surrounded by bustling streets and street artists. Additionally, you can try the summer terrace restaurants, enjoying the cool Kamogawa breeze and Japanese kaiseki cuisine, adding a touch of summer charm.
The apartment-style rooms are approximately 40 square meters, including standard suites (for 4 people), Kamogawa view rooms, and tatami rooms. The design blends Japanese aesthetics with modern minimalism, featuring wooden floors, light-colored fabrics, and bamboo decorations for a cozy ambiance. Each room is equipped with a full kitchen, including a refrigerator, microwave, ceramic stove, rice cooker, cookware, and tableware, making it suitable for family cooking or sukiyaki. Ingredients can be purchased at Nishiki Market. Some room types support accessibility features and wheelchairs, with elevators covering the entire building.
Nearby dining options include Kamogawa summer terrace restaurants like Kibune Kiraku, Kyoto cuisine, outdoor dining, Unagi rice from Maruya Main Store, and the famous ramen from Tenkaippin, catering to diverse tastes.
