Wonderful Stay in a Great Location We had a fantastic stay at the RIHGA Gran Kyoto. The location is perfect—just a short walk from Kyoto Station, which made it super convenient to explore the city and take day trips. Our room was clean, modern, and very comfortable. We especially enjoyed the breakfast each morning—delicious, with a nice variety of options. The staff were friendly and welcoming, always ready to assist with a smile. Overall, it was a great experience and we would definitely stay here again
