Eat and drink like you're at home in Gion｜Kyoto Slow Travel 7

The second stop of the trip to Kyoto was staying at Hoshinoya Group's OMO5 Gion Hotel. We initially chose this hotel because it is close to popular attractions such as Yasaka Shrine and Hanami-koji, making it convenient to get up early in the morning to experience the quiet Gion city walk. When I checked into the room, I found that it was an apartment-style room with a kitchen, which is very suitable for families or traveling with friends. The color scheme of matcha, beige, and wood and the tatami space are very Japanese in style. The lantern designs in the lobby corridors and guest room kitchens echo the lanterns on the streets of Gion, making it seem as if home is right here on this street. The thoughtful dining service delivered directly to your room allows you to experience the dining life like a local. 🥖Wake up to the aroma of bread Kyoto is the city with the highest bread consumption in Japan. When staying at this hotel, you can reserve the "Room Baking Set" to be enjoyed in your room and experience a homemade Kyoto-style baked breakfast. Before going to bed, set up the bread maker in the room. The hotel thoughtfully prepared an operating guide and ingredient package in Chinese with pictures, so even a baking novice can easily master it. The next morning you will be awakened by the aroma of freshly baked bread. This set meal also comes with two kinds of honey, a soup, six kinds of flavored sauces such as matcha sauce, soy milk sauce, red bean sauce, and drip coffee. Bread set consumption: average 1,000 yen/set (about 50 RMB/set) 🍲Torikoo chicken hot pot Kyoto cuisine If you stay at this hotel in winter, you can enjoy hot pot cuisine from the nearby signature Kyoto cuisine restaurant "Torikoo City" in your room for dinner.
