La propiedad — MIMARU京都 STATION
MIMARU京都 STATION is an apartment-style hotel that feels like a smart, modern base camp rather than a traditional inn. The lobby is neat and functional, with a small kitchen area where guests can prep simple meals — a real asset in a city where eating out every meal gets expensive. It suits families and small groups who want self-catering flexibility and the convenience of being right next to Kyoto Station, the city's transport hub. The vibe is practical and unpretentious, not romantic or luxurious, but genuinely useful for exploring.
Crónicas de Kyoto
Kyoto was the imperial capital of Japan from 794 until 1868, when the emperor moved to Tokyo. The city was deliberately laid out on a grid inspired by the Chinese Tang dynasty capital Chang'an. It escaped the firebombing of World War II that flattened many other Japanese cities, leaving it with one of the world's richest collections of pre-modern wooden architecture. Today Kyoto is both a living museum of temples, shrines and traditional crafts, and a modern city grappling with overtourism and the pressure to preserve its historic neighbourhoods.

Guía completa de Kyoto →Los mejores meses
April (cherry blossom) and November (autumn foliage) offer the most spectacular scenery, with manageable crowds if you avoid the first week of April and the last week of November.
Peak / Festival Surge
April and November are the absolute peak months, driven by the cherry blossoms and autumn colours respectively. Hotel prices double or triple, and advance bookings are essential. The Gion Matsuri in July is also a major draw but less extreme in price hikes.
La temporada del hombro
May and October are excellent shoulder months: weather is mild, crowds are thinner than peak, and hotel rates drop by 30-50%. June is the cheapest rainy season, but expect humidity and frequent showers.
Tiempo y embalaje
Kyoto in July is hot and humid, with temperatures averaging 30°C and frequent rain from the tsuyu rainy season. Pack lightweight, breathable clothing, a compact umbrella for sudden downpours, and comfortable walking shoes — you'll be on your feet a lot.
Briefing en vivo de la ciudad — Kyoto
- Kyoto City introduced a new tourist bus route in 2025 connecting Kyoto Station with popular sites like Kiyomizu-dera and Gion, reducing the need for the overcrowded city buses.
- The Gion Matsuri (July 1-31) is in full swing during your stay, with the iconic Yamaboko Junko float procession on July 17 and 24; expect huge crowds and road closures in central Kyoto.
- Kyoto Station itself recently completed a renovation of its north exit plaza, making it easier to walk to the hotel and access the nearby bus terminal for excursions.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to MIMARU京都 STATION, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request rooms on floors 8–10 facing the inner courtyard. These are higher, reducing street noise from the station area, and the courtyard orientation buffers traffic sounds. The MIMARU brand typically has lifts on the longer side of the building, so rooms away from lift shafts are quieter.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on floors 1–3 facing the street. The hotel faces a main road near Kyoto Station, so lower floors get direct traffic noise. Rooms ending in '01' or '02' are often near lift lobbies – avoid those to skip door-clunk and chatter.
Best views
South-facing rooms on floors 9–12 offer a clear view of the Kyoto Station building and the Hachiko exit direction, with partial sight of the Shinkansen tracks – a lively but interesting cityscape. North-facing views are residential rooftops. Eastwards you see the station’s glass atrium.
Quietest floors
Floors 7–11 are the quietest, being high enough to avoid street-level noise but not the topmost floor (which might have lift machinery rumble). The 12th floor is the top and may have slight mechanical hum from the roof.
🔊 Noise notes
The main noise source is traffic along Karasuma Street and buses pulling into the station bus terminal. Kyoto Station itself generates crowds, announcements, and taxi horns, especially 7–9am and 5–7pm. There’s no bar or late-night venue on site, so quiet after 10pm.
Insider tips
1) Request a south-facing room above floor 8 – you’ll get the station skyline without the ground-level racket. 2) The hotel has a shared laundry room (usually 2nd floor) with a washing machine and dryer – book it early on your last day as it’s popular. 3) Check-in is at 3pm, but they’ll hold luggage for free if you arrive earlier – useful given the station is a 3-minute walk.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Principales atracciones en Kyoto
💡 Free to wander. Budget ¥500–1000 for sample-size meals like grilled mochi or tamagoyaki. Avoid 11:30am–1pm when it's packed with lunch crowds.
💡 Visit early morning for the koi ponds without crowds; at night during cherry blossom season (late March–early April) for the illuminated weeping cherry tree.
💡 Arrive by 7am to dodge crowds and get clear photos. The hike to the summit takes about 2 hours, but most tourists stop halfway, so the upper path is quieter.
💡 Arrive before 08:00 for near-solitude. Exit onto the north end and explore Okochi Sanso garden (entry fee) for a quieter extension of the walk.
💡 Entry is ¥620 (£3.50). Audio guide included free at entrance. Visit early to avoid queues; the ninomaru garden is underrated and peaceful.
💡 Entry is ¥400 (£2.20). Go late afternoon when the gold glows in low sun. Skip the tea house inside—overpriced and mediocre matcha.
