Just minutes away from a hub of rail and bus connections, the Lounge at West Kujo serves as a convenient base for long-term stays in Japan’s old capital.

​

 Kyoto Station – a 5-minute walk from the Lounge – offers easy access not only to Kansai International Airport and major Japanese cities, but also the city’s subway network: the Karasuma Line runs from north to south Kyoto and connects commuters to the east-west Tozai Line. Adding to the convenience, the station’s bus terminal hosts services that cover most of Kyoto are available at the station's terminal.

​

 The Lounge is also within walking distance of malls, supermarkets, and formal and casual restaurants, not to mention Unesco World Heritage site Toji temple, which holds a popular open-air market every month. 

 Though close to a transport and commercial hub, the Lounge is located in a quiet lane, offering a rare combination of convenience and privacy.

​

 The interior reflects the tranquility of the neighbourhood, with clean lines and muted tones creating a modern Japanese aesthetic. To reduce the clutter, the built-in bunk bed can be hidden from view by a wooden sliding door.

 The only ornamentation is a woodblock artwork created for the Lounge by Kira Karacho 1624, which has specialised in karakami prints for 4 centuries.

​

 A small garden, which can be seen from the shower area and kitchenette, offers the eye more rest.

 Apart from the fully-equipped kitchenette, the Lounge also comes with a washer-dryer, heated flooring and wi-fi. Housekeeping and a change of bed linens on a weekly basis are offered for an even more comfortable stay.
