Just a short walk from the property are 2 of Kyoto’s most significant cultural landmarks: Nishi-Hongwanji and Higashi-Hongwanji Temples, both established in the Momoyama period and recognized for their deep historical value.
Adjacent to Higashi-Hongwanji is Shoseien Garden, a beautiful and serene traditional garden that has stood for over a century and is often used as a filming location for historical dramas.

Head further south and you’ll find JR Kyoto Station and a bustling area filled with shopping arcades, cafes, restaurants, and other amenities, an area perfect for both daily errands and leisure.
