- Public bath and 24-hour fitness centre
- OPEN restaurant and bar (84 seats) for a group breakfast or cocktail
Why choose it
To house an incentive group of 50 to 120 people in historic Kyoto at more moderate rates than luxury hotels, with a station at the door for Gion or Fushimi-Inari.
Possible limits
