Hostel Ginkakuji

Everything good. Bathrooms upstairs and downstairs. New clean and efficient. Friendly and relaxed.

No complaints.

The staff, the Japanese rooms, the bath, the neighborhood, & Ginkakuji temple itself were all great. The restaurants nearby were outstanding (Udon shop, Ramen shop, and the Okonomiyaki place right across the street). The bus stop is close by as is a grocery store so very convenient. The shared bathrooms were top notch and very clean, as was the room we had. We really enjoyed the Japanese style rooms. We were able to get our laundry done and the place felt homey.

It's awfully far from the station so we spent a lot of time on the bus but that's reflected in the lower price I think. The thin walls could be a problem- for us trying to get going before 7 I think we annoyed others. The directions from the bus stop to the hotel could use work I think (or maybe I missed that part).
