Tips Before You Visit

Use the Hachijo (south) side of Kyoto Station

The hotel is on the Hachijo side of Kyoto Station. Exiting on the Karasuma (Central) side means a longer walk, so head for the Hachijo gates and exit after getting off your Shinkansen or local train.

The Hachijo side is close to the JR and Kintetsu transfer route, and the hotel is about a 2-minute walk from the station. From the Karasuma Line, it is about 5 minutes on foot, so if you have luggage the Hachijo side is the easier approach.
