Hotel Forza Shijo Kawaramachi, Kyoto

Hotel Forza Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi blends comfort, functionality, and style. Opened in June 2021, the hotel is conveniently located in the center of Kyoto, directly connected to the Shijo-dori underground walkway. You'll be on a busy street filled with international shopping, yet still within walking distance of popular city sites. The Kyoto Gion YASAKA SHRINE is just over 15 minutes away via the historic Hanamikoji Street. The Pontocho area near the river is less than 10 minutes by foot, as is the Samurai & Ninja Museum.

With nearly 200 rooms on offer, this property is relatively large, which means it caters to all travelers with a range of 10 room types. Each non-smoking unit, yet simple in design, aims to mix comfort and function with amenities like a humidified air purifier, an electric kettle, soft carpeting, and warm lighting. Some upgraded units add larger seating areas with sofas, and depending on the room, you may have an independent bathroom, a separate washbasin, or a modular bathroom.

As a standard hotel, there aren't too many amenities, but you'll still start your day with a buffet breakfast featuring local cuisine. There's also free WiFi throughout the property, a 24-hour front desk, and luggage storage space.
