There’s also food stalls and restaurants which are all walking distance. I also live that they have a massager in the common room which I used especially after a long walk.

Location is perfect (walking distance to bus stops, tourist spots) and our room was clean and cozy with daily housekeeping. Hiro was exceptionally helpful and attentive to our needs despite our late-night check in - he even woke up to send us off early in the morning! Would 100% recommend this place :)

Nijojo Taiken Inn 2 stars

Hotel Taiken Inn Nijojo is a 100-year-old traditional machiya wooden townhouse, which used to be involved in traditional Nishijin-ori weaving before renovation into an accommodation.

Guests will find a Television in the common area. There is a shared kitchen on site. Bicycle hire is available at an additional charge, on a first-come-first-served basis. There are 4 bicycles on site. We stayed in “the Villa”. The actual living quarters for what was an old silk trading business. Definitely had the feel of “Old Japan,” but was surprisingly spacious and very comfortable. We loved it!
