🏨 Accommodation recommendation:
Kyoto Central Inn, the facilities are relatively old but the location is very convenient. Booking in advance is very reasonable.
🍴 Food recommendation:
Rice ball [Gochisou Yakimusubi Onimaru Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi Store] can be eaten in or taken out.
Grilled meat [Yakitsu Wu], affordable, the boss and his wife are very nice.
📌 Practical Tips:
It is really convenient to stay at Hankyu Kyoto Kawaramachi. There are trains for long distances and buses for short distances. Because it is the starting station of Hankyu, you don’t have to worry about getting on the wrong bus or not being able to get on the bus.
