Hotel Oumiya

Even though I was late because I had mistaken the check-out time, they allowed me to shower and all the staff were very kind.

It was nice that it was within walking distance to Kyoto Station. Also, there was only parking for three cars, so they told me that it was OK to go early, just park there, and check in after sightseeing. The hotel staff were very friendly.

It is located on the south side of Kyoto Station, and the fact that it was founded in the 13th year of Kyoho attracted my attention. Relax in a 7.5 tatami mat Japanese-style room. Luckily, there was a futon on the floor. The tatami mats were not rushes and were fuzzy and slightly damaged. There is a closet. There is a yukata, an obi, and a towel inside. There is a veranda, so I went out. There is a slightly narrow bathroom with a toilet, washbasin, and bathtub. There is no washlet. There is a step at the entrance. There is a large public bath on the first floor. There are no lockers in the dressing room, but 20 shelves with baskets. The bathtub was about 1.2m x 3m in size, and the temperature of the water was neither hot nor lukewarm. There were 8 Karang. I took a bath at night and in the morning, but both were single baths. Overall, I cannot deny that the facilities are a little outdated, but they seemed to be well cleaned. Considering the location and the large public bath, it felt cheap.
