[2025 Kyoto Stay] Travel Guide for The Royal Park Canvas Kyoto Nijo (Updated Feb)

Kyoto is a city full of temples and historical culture. In Kyoto, you can experience the fusion of tradition and nature, with traditional buildings and ancient historical and cultural heritage everywhere, bringing you a completely different experience and feeling! 🔷🔷🔷My Kyoto One-Day Tour Guide: 🚗Transportation: Take the JR from Osaka to Kyoto Station in half an hour 🏨Accommodation: The Royal Park Canvas Kyoto Nijo. A 2-minute walk from Nijo Station 🗺️Kyoto One-Day Tour Itinerary: ⏰Morning - Nijo Castle (10-minute walk from the hotel) 🕐Afternoon - Eikando Temple - Nanzenji Temple (Take the subway from Nijo Castle Station, and walk 10 minutes between the two attractions) 💎Attraction Highlights: 📍Nijo Castle: Built by Tokugawa Ieyasu, it is a historical site in Kyoto. Nijo Castle combines traditional Japanese castle design with gorgeous decorations. We especially recommend visiting Ninomaru Palace, which is a great experience! The interior is a good restoration of the living scene at that time, and the murals are preserved. There are also three different styles of gardens and a cherry blossom garden in Nijo Castle. 📍Eikando Temple: The entire building is in a unique geographical location, built on the mountain. The most distinctive corridor in the temple is the Wolong Corridor. The main hall has a national-level important cultural property, the standing statue of Amitabha Buddha. It is also the most famous place for viewing maple leaves every year. Sitting under the maple trees and having a cup of tea is very pleasant. 📍Nanzenji Temple: The entrance Sanmon is its first landmark building, and you can overlook the entire Nanzenji Temple from the top. There is also a Roman-style red brick aqueduct, which is very photogenic! The abbot's garden has winding paths and small gardens of different styles, which are very beautiful! 📌Tips: 1️⃣Photography is not allowed inside Ninomaru Palace in Nijo Castle, but it is highly recommended to buy a ticket to visit! 2️⃣You can have lunch on the commercial street outside Nanzenji Temple, where there are many popular shops. Blue Bottle is a must-visit, and "Junsei" Kyoto-style tofu cuisine is not to be missed. However, there are many people at Junsei, so make an online reservation in advance to avoid queuing!

During your stay, you can use the free drink service. It's spacious, so I think it can also serve as a workspace where you can concentrate. True to the hotel's concept, you can enjoy both the city and the hotel, work and play. It's a hotel where you can 'enjoy yourself'. 〈Lounge〉 【Kyoto】The Royal Park Canvas Kyoto Nijo 【Location】22-7, Nishinokyo Shokushi-cho, Nakagyo-ku, Kyoto City 【Access】 About 2 minutes on foot from JR Sagano Line 'Nijo' station About 2 minutes on foot from Kyoto City Subway Tozai Line 'Nijo' station 【Accommodation Plan】Standard Twin for 2 people without meals, Check-in at 15:00, Check-out at 14:00, 10,000 yen per room Visit Date: May 2024

The beds were of the Hollywood twin type, and since there was a large public bath in the hotel, having just a shower booth in the room was not a problem at all. Above all, the convenience of transportation was excellent. JR, subway, and bus stops are all just a short walk away. The view from the room was of Nijo Station as shown in the third photo. Water and a cosmetic set for women are available upon request at the front desk. I highly recommend this hotel for a stay in Kyoto.
