"Great place to stay if you have kids. Close to the aquarium, railway museum, and a big park suitable for kids all ages. The park has great cherry blossom, which is a nice surprise. It seems like a family spot on weekends for locals, as I observed on Sat & Sun. The room is not big but decent sized for Japan, clean and comfortable, the free public bath is great too. It’s not walking distance to busy shopping areas and restaurants, though had a family Mart and Starbucks. It is 1 station away from Kyoto station so still considered accessible."
