  • RIHGA Royal Hotel Kyoto
  • I'm planning to go sightseeing in Kyoto and am looking for a hotel.

I'm thinking about going to Kyoto. I want to experience Kyoto's history this time, not just go to the standard tourist spots like Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine, and I want to visit the Kyoto National Museum. There are a lot of travelers, so it's hard to book hotels, so I'm looking for a hidden gem (a hotel that's easy to book) rather than a standard hotel. I don't mind a hotel with a lot of rooms or a hotel a little out of town. Please let me know your recommendations.

  • The shuttle bus from Kyoto Station is convenient.

  • A free shuttle bus runs frequently from Kyoto Station Hachijo Exit, so you can arrive at the hotel smoothly even on rainy days or when you have a lot of luggage. The hotel is filled with a calm atmosphere, and you can expect attentive hospitality. With over 480 rooms, the hotel boasts a wide range of rooms, so you have more chances to make a reservation on your desired dates.

  • The number of rooms is excellent

  • It is about a 7-minute walk from the Hachijo Exit of Kyoto Station, and it takes about 15 minutes to get to the Kyoto National Museum by bus from Kyoto Station. There are about 480 guest rooms, and a wide variety of room types. It is relatively easy to make a reservation, depending on the season and plan. The hotel has a calm atmosphere, and rooms with different themes are available.

  • A beautiful hotel with architecture reminiscent of Kyoto by architect Togo Murano

  • It's a little independent guest cottages from the city center, so I think the competition is less intense than around Kyoto Station. The architecture by architect Togo Murano is beautiful and reminiscent of Kyoto. In addition to Kamigamo Shrine, there are many other shrines and temples around the hotel that are easy to stop by, so it's also recommended as a base for a historical tour if you're interested.

  • A hidden gem independent guest cottages from the hustle and bustle of the city

  • It is a little far from Kyoto Station and Kyoto National Museum, but you can relax independent guest cottages from the hustle and bustle. The hotel is adjacent to the lush Takaragaike Park and is surrounded by beautiful nature in all four seasons. There are many rooms, so it is relatively easy to make a reservation.

  • A relatively quiet area

  • Although it is conveniently located right next to Nijo Station, you can expect a relatively quiet and relaxing stay compared to hotels around Kyoto Station, and it is not difficult to make a reservation. It also has a large public bath with a view of a miniature garden like a Japanese painting. You can also enjoy the Kyoto atmosphere by renting a bicycle and going for a stroll along the nearby paths and to Nijo Castle.

  • The key points are a good location and a large number of rooms

  • It is in an excellent location, about a 2-minute walk from Kyoto Station Hachijo Exit. It is convenient to access the Kyoto National Museum by bus or train. It is a relatively new hotel with brand new facilities, and the large public bath is a nice plus. There are plenty of rooms, so you should have no trouble finding a reservation outside of the high season.
