“Kamikatsura House has a real advantage in its location, nearby both the station and local restaurants, and the provision of a shared kitchen is useful for longer stays; the available laundry is particularly helpful for travelers. I think the room sizes, especially the family room, will be comfortable. For those prioritizing convenience and self-sufficiency, this could be a practical base.”
