I visited the Millennials in Jan 2020 for solo trip and stayed about 3 nights. This capsule hotel locates in a very convenient place. It fulfilled my dream that I wanted to stay in a place with modern style, friendly staff and security. It's different from traditional capsule hotel, you could enjoy large space and high tech!
I couldn't describe this hotel merely by words, just go there and experience by yourself. Will definitely go back after the pandemic!

First use at drop-in.
Good location. I think it's easy to access Kawaramachi and Kyoto Station.
It is also nice to have four remote booths.
There are many coworking spaces where you can speak out in a common space, but it is safe to have a remote booth because it is a little worrisome to hold a remote meeting in public.

Probably one of the best hotels I've stayed in. This hotel is summed up by the word convenience. Clean, washing machine and dryer in the room, great location, quiet, extremely reasonable price. Don't get an overpriced hotel, stay here and spend all your money on the overpriced but amazing donuts in the shop below.

What a find! Cannot wait to book here next time we visit Kyoto. The location is perfect and the special touches - like the face wash being a 4-part Japanese skincare set - was really special.

We stumbled across this coffee shop while exploring the less touristy areas of Kyoto. Such a gem - it is a creator's space full of designers and students working on projects. We were just enjoying some coffee, and appreciated all of the comfy seating they had. I wish we discovered this place sooner during our stay! Highly recommend. Thanks!
6 GROVING BASE

I used lunch.
A stylish cafe with a co-working space.
The facade is mortar and glass, and the green is growing. A simple, minimalistic but playful design.
Utilizing the depth of the building, the line of sight can be seen, and the lead wires entering the store from the entrance are simple and straightforward, so it is perfect for business person workers.
Despite being made with consideration for such workers, it is also kind to child-rearing moms and dads! It comes with a nursing room and a small carpet.
It seems to be a set meal, but today it was a coconut curry for a special menu. It seems to be about the current situation and health.
I thought that the aggressive management of changing the menu on the fly according to social circumstances was wonderful.
Is coconut curry sweet? And the taste of adults. The rolled body and soft thigh meat were delicious.
Although we were able to take a photo, you couldn't take a lot of photos inside the store, so please take a look at it if you like.
It is still a new store since opening, but I want you to overcome the rough waves without losing, it was a feast!

Check in was fast and easy, they provide free shuttle bus and free luggage storage. I deposited my luggages the night before i left Kyoto so that I don't have to drag too many luggage upon check out, since the reception counter is just opp Kyoto Station. Friendly and helpful staffs.

Immediately from Keihan / Kiyomizu-Gojo Station. It is within walking distance from Shijo Kawaramachi, and is conveniently located near the downtown area but in a quiet location. It is in a convenient location as it is close to Kyoto Station. This guest house is a renovated former Yukaku that is over 100 years old and is located in the corner where "Gojo Paradise" was located. It is a two-story building with guest rooms on the second and first floors with a coworking space that guests can use.
Lunch and dinner can be done at the attached "Sin -Dining & Bar-", and there is a convenience store and a 24-hour supermarket nearby, so you don't have to worry about shopping.
We used a twin room for 2 people for 2 days and 1 night.
The interior of the guest rooms has been renovated, but the floor plan remains the same. Some of them have been around for a long time, and you can feel the good old atmosphere of the former Yukaku.
There are single, double, twin (including deluxe twin) and dormitory, and you can use them according to your needs.
The design and arrangement of the rooms seem to be different, and the room of "South 4" used has a high ceiling and a skylight, giving a feeling of openness. It's a simple room with only a bed, but it's narrow, but the retro lights are hung on the wall color unified in gray, and it settled down in a chic atmosphere. The light is operated with a remote control, but it is difficult to understand how to operate it with a simple remote control. Please check the details in the email you receive after check-in (you can access the guest-only page during your stay, and there are services such as information on the hall and listening to music, so check early. Let's keep it).
When working on writing, it is advisable to use a coworking space.
Nintendo is the origin of the Hanafuda on the room key. Currently, Nintendo has a global share as a game maker, but in fact Gojo Rakuen was founded and started from Hanafuda. It seems that the Hanafuda design was adopted to use the culture of Gojo Paradise as a motif.
The coworking space is freely available to guests 24 hours a day during their stay. Even when you are not staying, you can use it on an hourly or monthly basis.
There are counters for one person and a large table for groups. The kitchen is also available, and coffee and tea are free drinks, as well as baked goods.
Every table has an outlet so you can work while charging. Equipped with high-speed Wi-Fi, it is convenient because you can browse videos quickly.
"UNKNOWN KYOTO" can be used not only for sightseeing but also for staying at work without stress.
Why don't you spend your time in Kyoto, which doesn't seem to be Kyoto, while feeling a little when there was a Yukaku?

Wonderful atelier with all the necessity to build your DIY project, or even kickstart your hardware/IoT startup.
They have 3D printers, small CNC mill, even a laser cutter.
They made all the refurbishing of the shop themselves. There is workshops from time to time also.

Quiet location, great hospitality with recently renewed facility including rooms. Spacious rooms with rain shower. Good views of the mountains.
That said, the indoor pool is a little bit underwhelming (outdoor pool is closed). It is only open from 1pm to 6pm (5 hours) every day, probably to prioritize member usage in the morning and at night. I think hotel guests are also good source of income, too...
No lounge chairs or anything at the poolside. Not sure why.

I used the coworking space for studying for qualification. The facilities were very clean and warm and made me feel good. All the staff are very kind and you can see it right next to you, so I was able to leave it at ease.
It was perfect for me as I was hoping that I would like to have time to concentrate and concentrate, although it is not enough for childcare. I would like to see more facilities like this spread.
I am looking forward to the event. Thank you very much.

The location is superbly located and the price to quality ratio is really good. The train station is easy to reach. Good transport links to downtown or to old town.
Next to the place is a small local spa and opposite a small bar with a really good atmosphere.
There is a possibility to wash clothes.

I used it for the first time, but I thought that co-creation would occur and innovation would occur in a space where you can see that you are actively interacting with each other.
I felt that it was good to work silently, to come to talk with various people, and to be able to do whatever I wanted, depending on the purpose and mood of the day.
I do my best to keep this list as up-to-date as possible. I last updated it in November 2024. If you know of a coworking space that should be on the list, let me know. Click here to contact me. Thanks!
