"A Peaceful, Elegant Haven in Kyoto Our stay at Dhawa Yura Kyoto (Oct 8–10) exceeded all expectations. The subtle, welcoming fragrance as you walk in sets the tone for a sparkling clean and serene experience. The service was flawless—the staff were exceptionally warm, efficient, and eager to help with anything we needed.

Hotel Forza Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi

"I really enjoyed the convenience of the location. It was right across the street from shopping and down the street from major shopping. The employees were very helpful. They stored our luggage before we checked in held it until we departed hours after checkout and helped set up luggage forwarding service. The size of the rooms were larger than I expected. The couch sitting area was much welcomed and allowed for our group to relax and spend time together in the evenings. I also like the free whiskey that was given on a daily basis and the unlimited tea from the dispenser in the lobby."
