JR WEST GROUP VIA INN PRIME KYOTOEKI HACHIJOGUCHI
This was BY FAR the best spot we stayed at during our three week trip. Not very costly, very convenient, very clean and the amenities provided are phenomenal. Highly recommend it to anyone considering to visit Kyoto, just two blocks away from Kyoto station makes it very easy to take day trips anywhere ...
