3 stations, 13 minutes from Kyoto Station. A unique inn where you can enjoy jazz and travel like a local

If you enjoy sightseeing and music in a quiet town on the shore of Japan's Freshwater Lake, Kyoto living area, this is🎼 the place! It is conveniently located just 3 stops from Kyoto Station (about 13 minutes by ride), but it is not crowded, so you can spend quietly avoiding the crowds.Easy access to major tourist attractions in Osaka, Kyoto, and Shiga (Fushimi Inari 35 minutes/Uji 45 minutes/Gion 40 minutes, Osaka 46 minutes).Close to the world cultural heritage of Enryaku-ji Temple, Omi Shrine, and Hiyoshi Taisha Shrine, you can also walk around the lake while enjoying Japanese cultural heritage such as Karasaki Shrine and Sakamoto Castle Ruins within walking distance. The attached jazz bar and live space has a nice sound system and stage.Currently, we are doing live jazz (weekend afternoons) at roughly once a month, and the jazz bar is open only on weekend evenings (about 3 hours from 18:00 to 21:00 on Saturdays and Sundays), so you should be mindful of noise due to music playing in the store at that time.There is a complimentary live music charge for weekend bookers and 1 free drink if it's jazz bar hours. There are also drug stores and delicious restaurants nearby, making it convenient for shopping and eating.

WUZ KAMOGAWA / River View / 10 mins from Kyoto St.

With this quintessential double story historical townhouse that looks out to the Kamo River, the renovation is kept minimal in order to best preserve its authenticity, especially the courtyard where light enters. The wooden structure, partial wall, entryway, and the garden stones are some of the original elements that are conserved while the roofing tiles, wooden windows, and paper doors have since been replaced. The translucence is throughout the house we see and experience now.
