“Hotel Rakusai stands out with its air-conditioned rooms, complete with kitchenettes, a real find at this price point in Kyoto. I appreciate its picnic areas and the shared kitchen, which can be a lifesaver for families. Though slightly removed from the city center, the location still works nicely for experiencing Kyoto's cultural sites.”
