Kainan Vacation Packages

Hands down the best hotel we stayed at during our Japan trip! Kamanza really set the bar high because every hotel we stayed at after leaving Kyoto just didn’t compare. The room and bathroom were surprisingly spacious, and we loved how quiet the area was while still being conveniently located for exploring Kyoto. We even stumbled upon one of the best ramen spots of our entire trip nearby! Honestly, we were a little spoiled by this place. Would absolutely stay here again next time we’re in Kyoto!

We really enjoyed how a lot of popular attractions where within walking distance and how spacious the room was.

I booked this hotel some months ago and I started reading reviews prior to check in. I'll admit I got a bit nervous. That being said we decided to stay the night and try it out. First impressions were that there was more space than many rooms we've stayed in while in Japan. Many features look newish and it has a full kitchen. Then things get weird. The wall paper is peeling off. There's a persistent bad smell. There's roach traps everywhere. I tried to shower and the shower nozzle fell off. My husband tried to leave to do a Lawson run and the latch on the lock fell off. The beds were surprisingly comfortable but it's also loud in the morning with people talking in the alleyway. It was fine for the night but I wouldn't stay here again.

If you just want a place to stay then this spot is convenient. Nothing impressive but had all the basics we needed. Only wish I wasn't at the lower floor, I felt that the room was moist... 5 min walk to nearest station and only 2 stops from kyoto station ( 5 min train) or 20 min walk from the kyoto station.

The staff were friendly, and helpful. My room was HUGE! The biggest room I've stayed in in Japan - beautiful! Breakfast was a bit pricey for what was offered, but everything else was wonderful!
