I went up the Kyoto Tower!
Kyoto Tower is only 131 meters high, but it is still the tallest structure in Kyoto City.
The height comes from the fact that the city’s population was 1.31 million when it opened in 1964.
In Kyoto, where it was said that no structure taller than the five-story pagoda of Toji Temple could be built, there are no tall buildings around, so climbing up to the observatory makes you feel as if you are in a much higher place.
The hotel has a large public bath on the third basement floor, a famous shopping area with Kyoto souvenirs on the first floor, restaurants on the third floor, and a direct underground passageway from Kyoto Station, making it rainless.
Kyoto Tower is a very convenient starting point for travel to Kyoto. It is recommended for killing time before and after taking the train.
Hours : 10:30 – 21:00 (last admission 20:30)
General admission : Adults 800 yen
A Home Away From Home
Guesthouse KYOTO COMPASS was founded in 2014 to serve as a signpost for travelers like a “compass”.
We took a traditional Kyoto house (Machiya), with it’s 100 years of history, and turned it into this guesthouse.
It takes 15 minutes from Kyoto station by bus.
We are surrounded by not only sightseeing spots but also warm local atmosphere, public bath houses and a shopping street.
You can travel like the local people live.
We Will Guide You to an Unknown Kyoto
If you want to discover Kyoto from a different angle, COMPASS will be a great base camp for you.
