Fantastic Stay at Hotel Forza Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi – Highly Recommend!
We spent five wonderful days in Kyoto in early June and chose Hotel Forza Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi for its unbeatable location—and it did not disappoint! Nestled in the heart of a vibrant neighborhood, the hotel is steps away from Nishiki Market and surrounded by endless shopping streets. Yet, despite the lively surroundings, our room was peaceful and quiet, offering the perfect retreat after a day of exploring.
The hotel itself has so many thoughtful touches. The lobby, located one level down, provides direct access to the subway, making transportation a breeze. We also loved the full breakfast and relaxing lounge area, but the real standout was the beverage machine with Tsujiri Matcha Latte—so delicious that guests lined up for it (pro tip: grab it early before it runs out!).
Our room was spacious by Japanese standards, and the shower was incredibly comfortable, which was a welcome luxury. We also appreciated the two complimentary bottled waters daily (just ask the friendly lobby staff if you need them in advance).
Hotel Forza truly elevated our Kyoto experience, blending convenience, comfort, and excellent service. We’d highly recommend staying here—you won’t regret it! ;)
