Heath Wiggins
An okay place to spend a few days. A bit far from the main areas of downtown Kyoto but lots of transport options within a 5 minute walk.

However, I am writing this review to commend the staff who went above and beyond to find my wife's green stone necklace ...

While we were supposed to have breakfast included, there is no restaurant so it’s a bento box provided. While there ar...
