Hearton Hotel Kyoto
One of our favourite hotels from our 14 night tour. Welcomed our group with a taste of sake. The rooms were spacious, clean and modern. Good facilities for laundry and although I didn't have breakfast in the restaurant, others in our group really enjoyed it. Located close to metro, good dining options ...
