The third stop in Kyoto was staying at OMO5 Sanjo Hotel. During this slow-paced trip to Kyoto, we stayed at three Kyoto OMO hotels in different areas of the Hoshinoya Group. In addition to enjoying the accommodation in different hotels, we also wanted to experience OMO's unique "local exploration journey" that is exclusive to different hotels, so as to better feel the charm of Kyoto's scenery and culture from different perspectives. There is a luggage check-in service between OMO hotel systems. When checking out, you can hand your luggage to the front desk and travel around freely. When you transfer to the next hotel, your luggage can be delivered directly to your room. This service makes switching between hotels easier and smoother. (1100 yen per piece of luggage, about 55 RMB) Kyoto Sanjo Hotel is a hotel where you can enjoy living, entertainment and shopping. The free guided local exploration tour is divided into three routes: a stroll along the Takasegawa River, a tour of old shops, and a tour of cafes. This time I experienced the old store tour (see the previous post), and I will try other experiences when I have the chance in the future. The hotel is conveniently located next to the famous brand street, old shop street, high-end department stores, and there are many restaurants around. It is very close to the city bus and intercity trains such as Keihan and Kintetsu. In addition to going out shopping and enjoying the scenery, when staying in this hotel, don't miss the early morning breakfast and the hot spring bath in the room. 🥄The semi-buffet breakfast is simple, comfortable and healthy, including a choice of six cooked-to-order risottos, salads, juices and cheeses. I really like to cut different kinds of radishes into thin slices and arrange them into flower-like vegetable salads. It makes people feel that simple and plain ingredients can still create wonderful and high-quality food, and a good day in life should also unfold in this way. 🚿The black and white mosaic bathing pool in the room is very retro. Putting in a grapefruit bubble bath bag and using it seems to drive away all the fatigue from a day's travel.

Where is the best place to stay for your first time in Kyoto❓ Just look for two areas: Kawaramachi and Shijo ✨Hoshino's OMO5 Kyoto Sanjo🏨 📍Located on Kawaramachi Street 🆕The hotel is very new, opened in May 2022. OMO is Hoshino's budget hotel product line, But this experience is way above budget hotel standards The room is relatively large, with a wooden color scheme and a MUJI feel🪑 The desk is comfortable and friendly to working people on vacation 🛁The bathing space is spacious and clean, making it very comfortable to use OMO5 Kyoto's location is 💯 When you go out, you will find Kawaramachi Shopping Street, with various fashion brands and restaurants Walk🚶‍♂️600m to Takashimaya, where luxury brands gather 🍣Turn right 50m to my favorite Shin-Kyogoku 50m to the right is the super popular Sushi no Musashi This internet-famous conveyor belt sushi restaurant is always crowded at mealtimes Stay here and go downstairs to eat at off-peak times ❣️Hoshino's "Local Life Exploration" activities are very unique Activity ① Kyo-Machi Lanman River Walk Led by an OMO guide, walk along the Takase River to learn about the origins of Kyoto's streets and discover the charm of Kyoto's streets. Activity ② Meet Kyoto's century-old shops A trip to visit old shops on Sanjo Street. OMO guides and old shop owners have become friends, and they can take rare photos and recommend products worth buying. Activity ③ Unravel the history of Kyoto's café culture Learn about "Junkissa" (Japanese coffee shop) in the Sanjo area while having a cup of drip coffee. This is what makes Hoshino different, not only the accommodation experience but also allowing tourists to better understand the local life.

The second OMO hotel in Kyoto, 'OMO5 Kyoto Sanjo', is located by the Kamo River at Sanjo, surrounded by a plethora of delicious eateries, making it the tastiest area in Kyoto. Right next to it is the Sanjo Shopping Street, with many specialty stores known only to locals. This OMO, similar in style to the one I stayed at in Tokyo Otsuka, features a decor dominated by natural wood colors, simple and exquisite. The lobby displays some local Japanese scenery and tells the historical and cultural stories of the surrounding area along the Takase River. 🗺️ The lobby map also marks nearby distinctive restaurants, shops, and attractions, making it easy for guests to see at a glance. ☕️ The lobby also serves as the hotel's social area, with coffee and candy available for free, making it a nice place to chat with friends. 🥣 The hotel's breakfast is semi-buffet style, with six main dishes to choose from. I especially like the local specialty breakfast that resembles porridge, light and tasty. 🛏️ The rooms are close to Japanese tatami style, very clean and tidy, with a separate wet and dry bathroom space, and an independent sofa and coffee table, which are convenient for temporary computer work. OMO, as an urban sightseeing hotel, is convenient and comfortable, blending tradition with modernity, and offers great value for money. A few early cherry trees by the Kamo River have already bloomed, and in another week, the splendid cherry blossom season will arrive.

When traveling in Kyoto, I stayed at OMO5 Kyoto Sanjo Hotel, which is owned by Hoshino Hotels. As a local hotel brand, OMO Hotel in Kyoto offers guests the City Walk project for city exploration. During my stay, I followed the hotel's tour guide on a City Walk in the Sanjo area of ​​Kyoto, with the theme of exploring the old shops in the surrounding commercial district. There are many family-owned shops in Kyoto that are hundreds of years old. During this tour of old shops, the oldest one is the Kikuichimonji Honten, a knife shop with a history of more than 700 years. These knives are all handmade and of course the prices are not cheap. What is more interesting is a handmade broom shop with a history of more than 200 years. These brooms look very delicate, and the most expensive broom costs nearly 50,000 yen. We also visited Yoshida Gennojo, a wood-carved Buddha statue shop founded in 1572. The Buddha statues in the shop were very detailed, and many of their components could be disassembled. There is a needle shop with a beautiful courtyard. I also saw a cloth Christmas tree for the first time in another store selling cloth wrappings. We also visited a Beijing fan shop. Similarly, these shops also have hundreds of years of history. If you are interested in old shops in Kyoto, you might as well go and have a look. Hoshino Resorts OMO5 Kyoto Sanjo
