Mimaru Kyoto Station: The best 'Pokemon hotel' for sightseeing!

Mimaru Kyoto Station is popular for several reasons. Located a mere 2 minutes away from JR Kyoto Station (Hachijo East Exit), it makes the perfect base for your trip. It is designed to feel less like a hotel, and more like a "home away from home."

Their modern Japanese rooms are spacious (over 40 square meters), non-smoking, and have a fully-equipped kitchen with dishes and cooking utensils.

Since meals are not included in the accommodation plan, you can buy some local Kyoto ingredients at the market and prepare your own favorite meals! Free WiFi is available throughout the building, and laundry is available at an extra cost. It's the perfect hotel for a long-term stay, and it's got great access to Kyoto sightseeing spots!
