I have only ever been here for drinks in the lobby bar during the corona period when no one was in Japan so this was the first time to stay overnight after moving out of my home in Kyoto. It’s very lively now in Kyōto but the lobby bar was still cool to spend time in on a night with heavy rain. I’ve been doing “off the beaten path” bar tours in Kyōto for a few years & this area has many great hidden spots. The room was tiny but didn’t feel too crowded for 2 people. Maybe if we had 2 big suitcases, it would have been harder but manageable. The shower was amazing. Spotless too. Our current hotel in Fushimi Inari is disappointing after the IMU shower. The staff seems to speak English to the foreign tourists so that’s easy for people who don’t speak Japanese. Check in and check out were easy.
