If you're visiting Japan with a Kyoto stop planned, don't miss ASAI Kyoto Shijo — soft, comfortable beds, and a location not far from the train station, convenient whether you're walking to the food district or taking transport to sightsee.
The chef is Thai and cooks Thai food with genuine depth of flavor — the holy basil minced pork with fried egg might be one of the most delicious versions in all of Japan, at the Soi Gaeng restaurant. Even if you're not staying here, you can stop by to eat. There's also shopping and local restaurants within easy walking distance.
