A 7-minute walk from Kyoto Station, the completely non-smoking Ohanabo provides traditional Japanese-style accommodation with “Kaiseki” multi-course in-room dinners, massages and a hot public bath. Some rooms have an en suite bathroom, and the lobby has free Wi-Fi. This hotel was selected as one of Top 25 B&Bs and Inns in Japan by TripAdvisor's Travelers' Choice Award 2013. The air-conditioned rooms at Ohanabo Inn match a modern LCD TV, electric kettle and fridge with the timeless experience of Japanese futon bedding on a tatami (woven-straw) floor. Slippers, a toothbrush with toothpaste and a Yukata robe are provided. Located right across the street from Higashi Hongan-ji Temple, the inn is a 4-minute walk from Shosei-en Garden. Kyoto Tower is 450 metres away, and Gojo Subway Station is a 7-minute walk. A set menu of Japanese dishes is served for breakfast at the dining room from 07:00-08:30. Kyoto cuisine is served for dinner from 17:30-18:30, and must be reserved at time of booking.
