About First Cabin Kyoto Karasuma

In the Kamiyanagicho district, the First Cabin Kyoto Karasuma is tucked down a narrow back street just a stone’s throw from Shijo metro station. Free Internet access is available all throughout this modern, capsule-style hotel.

Sleek, ultra-compact sleeping compartments with cabin beds and air-conditioning provide flat-screen TVs, personal safes and nightwear. Guests are required to make use of shared bathroom facilities.

Luggage storage services and ear plugs are available from the 24-hour reception. Additional amenities include a hot tub and a coin-operated laundry facility.

Breakfast, evening meals and draught beers are served in a stylish bar/lounge. Vending machines proffer drinks and rice/noodle-based dishes.

The First Cabin Kyoto Karasuma is one-and-a-quarter miles from both the sacred Nishi Honganji Buddhist temple and Kyoto’s main train station. The revered Kyoto Imperial Palace is less than two miles away.
