Fujitaya — Hotel in Kyoto

I'd like to thank staff members ゆじさん、台湾さん and 可愛いさんたち for their welcome during my 5 days stay in what looked like the most stylish inn in Kyoto around my prices range and the JR Station.||||Indeed, the facilities are new, modern and always clean, even though many other guests were staying there as well. Still, all the setting is traditional and feels like a classic Japanese inn with a spacious and nicely decorated lobby.||||I booked the family room which was pretty big as I didn't need so much space for just myself. When booking directly with the inn, you can get a free rental bike, so the station is just 10 minutes away door to door.||||The only downside was that other guests were pretty noisy; Japanese rooms are built to accomodate Japanese people and thus aren't well isolated against the noises from some other guests that acted like they had stepped into a rusty dorm.||||I think I didn't heard any Japanese except from the staff and yoga teacher and pupils.
