Dozen Ryokan Review
Providing guests with bicycle rentals, the comfortable Dozen Ryokan Kyoto is located approximately 2.5 km from the ancient Yasui Konpiragu Shrine.
Each morning, Dozen Ryokan serves a continental breakfast. There is a variety of restaurants in the streets around the property, such as Craft Beer & Pizza 100K HYAKKEI 京都駅前店 and Gyoza-No-Ohsho Shichijo Karasuma.
The 3-star ryokan is a few metres away from the 800 - ton Kyoto Tower in the Shimogyo Ward district. Historical sights here include the historic wooden Nijo Castle, which stands within a 2.8-km distance of this Kyoto property.
Sanjusangendo Temple is about a 13-minute walk away, and Gojo is close to the perfect hotel.
The low-budget accommodation is located 50 km from Itami airport and about 5 minutes' walk from Kawaramachi Shomen bus stop.
