[Kyoto/Nara] A relaxing adult trip based in a modern Japanese hotel.

I chose "Hotel tou" as the base of my trip, which is within walking distance of Kyoto Station. It is a Japanese-modern designer hotel with a calm atmosphere, and the chic entrance and soft indirect lighting were very nice. It is conveniently located near the station, but the space is comfortable and not noisy. It is a hotel that I would like to return to when I come to Kyoto again. The comfort of the hotel and the calm atmosphere of the city that is unique to Kyoto and Nara. It was a relaxing trip for adults where you can enjoy sightseeing and gourmet food☺️ 【Hotel tou】 🏨 Hotel tou 455 Nishinotoin-cho, Nishinotoin-dori Hanaya-cho Sagaru, Shimogyo-ku, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture 600-8327 【From Tokyo to Kyoto】 🚌Depart from Shinjuku around 22:00 → Arrive in Kyoto around 6:00 (One way ¥2,000~¥6,000, varies depending on the season) 👆The Shinkansen is good, but this time I took an overnight bus because I prioritized cost-effectiveness.

As recommended by my friend, it was very delicious. 🌿 #KyotoHotel #KyotoTrip #DomesticTrip #Tourism #NaraTrip #Trip
