Hotels near Itozakura, Kyoto

The Okura Okazaki Bettie is a beautifully designed modern hotel and was the perfect choice for our combined business/leisure visit to Kyoto. The location was reasonably close (short taxi ride) to excellent restaurants and sights in the culturally historic area east of the river. The guest room quality, cleanliness and comfort is excellent - finished to a high standard with large windows overlooking the garden below and temples beyond. Breakfast was served in the restaurant overlooking the hotel's own zen garden. The choice of either ”Kyoto”or ”American” breakfast was amazing, beautifully presented bento style, exceptionally fresh, plentiful and delicious. Indeed this was one of the best hotel breakfasts ever. Finally the service level is exceptional. Both management and staff did everything they could to make our stay enjoyable and hassle free. Neither the most nor least expensive option in Kyoto - just simple great value. We look forward to returning next time.

We stayed for one night on Saturday in December. It is a hotel that we chose where new things and prices are worthwhile. It was a walk from Omiya Station in Hankyu, both on the way and on the way back. The bus stop of Horikawa Gojo is the nearest, but it may be surprisingly convenient to use a taxi from Kyoto Station. It is also far from Gojo Station of the subway. There are many convenience stores by the hotel. I think it is good to have breakfast at a delicious bakery. Check-in response is normal. The receptionist and payment are different. It may be possible to rent because the bicycle was in the front lobby, but I don't particularly inquired. The room is a corner room on the 6 floor. The size of the room seems to be the same on the floor. The room is large and the bed is about the queen size. This is perfect, but it is not an environment where you can work remotely because there is no electricity on the table, and it is difficult to drink tea. The air conditioner is by the door and it takes a considerable time to warm the whole room, and the corner of the room remains cold. I'm grateful that there are at least two chairs because they are used for two people, but it's not. The window is unusual and cloudy glass. It may be because the outside of the window is the grave of the temple. I don't say it because it was a price on Saturday, but I think it's good to relax in a little more room. You might stay next time.

Nice and clean hotel, good location to browse the city. The staff are kind and friendly. The rooms are not big but family of 3 with one big piece of luggage can easily fit in. Japanese style room is very charming but you might need some time to adjust to a mattress firmness. The breakfast selection is rather limited and repetitive.

Very clean and all the staffs are friendly. 7 min walk from the Kyoto station. We used the free shuttle bus when we go to Kyoto station from our hotel:) Very convenient because it comes every 20 minutes. Also, if you miss the shuttle there is a bus stop near by (3 min walk).

The room was spacious and comfortable for two . Location was superb and the reason I chose this hotel. Only one pedestrian walk away from Kyoto Station which is the best choice if planning to use public transport to move around. The staffs are all super helpful and friendly. Malls, Restaurant and convenience stores are in vicinity as well. Would definitely stay here if coming to Kyoto again. And you can store your luggage if you came earlier than designated Check In time so no worries about your lugagge.

I am absolutely delighted! This is a Japanese business hotel. During my 2 weeks of stay, I saw Europeans only twice. The staff is very polite, cleaning, changing towels every day. Lots of disposable things and even pajamas. Clean, non-smoking hotel (which is a big plus for me as an asthmatic). In the same house Lawson 24 hours, there are excellent izakayas and soboshny (standing with your back to the exit of the hotel, we are a little to the left and straight ahead, otherwise I did not find them right away). The area is quiet, 3 minutes to the metro, 10 minutes to Kyoto station and a larger interchange, the bus to the oceanarium stops right under the windows. The hotel provides breakfasts (I did not go to them, they were very early) and dinners (you can choose, different every day, until 9:00 order). The hotel also has sento (!) and laundromats. I will simply 200% come here again! 2 minuses for me personally: 1. Early (very) breakfasts. 2. Terrible pillows (but it was the same in Osaka, maybe it's a regional feature)

Came here with family during the Sakura season. It's easy to get to the onset hotel. After arriving at the Ogoto Onsen JR station, towards the south exit you will find a cell phone attached to a board with explanation how to use the phone to call one of the onsen hotels. After the call, their shuttle bus will then come and pick you up between 2pm to 6pm I think. The hotel staff in general are very welcoming. Our family scored a deal with their penthouse suite with private indoor and outdoor onsen. Four of us stayed in the suite and the price is only slightly more than four of us staying in 2 regular rooms. It also came with a beautiful fruit platter for you to enjoy. The suite is very spacious with 2 separate toilets. The bath area has 2 sinks, a shower stall as well as a japanese style bathing area connected to the 2 onsen baths (indoor one is a hinoki wood tub and the outdoor one is a stone one. The outdoor onsen does have a slight privacy issue as there are some residential buildings in a distance. While my mom was a bit too modest to use the outdoor one (which I am not and fully enjoyed it), she did take full advantage of the indoor private onsen. Of course the hotel also has a public onsen for the guests. In fact they have two. One in each towers. I used the one on the top floor in the morning and it was a bless seeing the sunrise while soaking in the hot onsen water. Our package also included both dinner and breakfast that were served at their private dining room. Both meals were done in kaiseki style. We were particularly impressed by their dinner. Not only was it cooked with high quality ingredients and with beautiful presentation, they did not skimp on the quantity as well. Often after eating dinner at other onsen hotel, I would not feel full and actually felt a bit hungry later at night, at Yumotokan the courses kept coming and I was completely stuffed at the end. In fact I did not finish the rice even though it was so yummy (cooked from scratch in front of us with a flamed mini-stove). All in all, a very satisfactory experience. I can recommend anyone who comes to Kyoto/Osaka and wants an excursion and experiences the traditional Japanese onsen.

I booked an executive room with an independent open hot spring and a halal menu. The spacious room has floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the lake. The dinner is a lot of dishes and delicious! From steamed crabs to thinly sliced beef, you will definitely have a range of cuisines to choose from. I plan to do it again next winter.

I stayed once before the renewal, but at that time it was not a very beautiful room for compliments. I stayed for the first time after the renewal this time, but it was no longer a separate inn. The room was comfortable, the view of the Uji River and the open-air bath with the room were large and comfortable. The staff was also pleasant and I want to go again if I can afford time and money. However, all dinners during the 3 nights were steak kaiseki shops, but until the first 2 nights, the chef was very good, and the meat was soft and I was able to eat very comfortably. There was a preschool child who was originally prohibited from entering the store at the last 3 night dinner (except for rental), and it was not possible to slow at all in the gaga gaga and the ugly gakinko. It seems that it was a family of your good, but I wanted the line drawing around it to be good.

I stayed in this hotel several times before the epidemic. It is more than ten minutes' drive from Kyoto Station and a small square from JR Kusatsu Station. For people who are tired from a day's travel, it is more convenient than hotels in Kyoto with inconvenient transportation. I chose this hotel again for my first trip to Kansai after the epidemic. I bought a Kansai Wide Area Tour Pass and it is not a problem to stay here and go anywhere. Although the facilities are not modern, the room area is large enough, and the service and catering of the old-fashioned hotel give people a good feeling.
