About Kioto
We are located 10 minutes' walk from Kamikatsura Station, just two stops from the Arashiyama area, which is famous for its bamboo street. At the next stop, Katsura Station, express trains run often on the Hankyu Kyoto Line to either Kyoto or even Osaka.
This is the perfect location to enjoy both a quiet atmosphere and good access to the city center.
Near the station, you can find everything you need for your daily life, including a supermarket, 24-hour convenience stores, and drugstores. There are choices for restaurants such as ramen noodle shops or casual sushi restaurants along the Hankyu Railway.
