lulu HOSTEL｜SPACE is conveniently located just a 5-minute walk from Nijō Castle and 3 minutes from the nearest train station. You can also catch a city bus from a nearby stop just 4 minutes away, which takes about 20 minutes to reach Kyoto Station. Shijo-Karasuma, the heart of Kyoto, is a 20-minute walk away, making it easy to explore the city on foot. The neighborhood is filled with local charm—there’s a well-loved bakery, cozy cafés with delicious cappuccinos, and a number of restaurants that are favorites among Kyoto locals. Perfect for enjoying meals or coffee during your stay. Our hostel is a renovated traditional Japanese house originally built in the Taisho era. The guest rooms and café space on the first floor were carefully remodeled by our staff, creating a simple yet cozy atmosphere where you can experience a bit of old Kyoto living. The public space on the first floor also occasionally hosts art exhibitions and pop-up events. Please note that due to the structure of the old building, the walls are thin and sound travels easily. We kindly ask guests to be mindful of noise and keep voices down indoors. If you are particularly sensitive to noise or prefer a very quiet environment, our hostel may not be the best fit. We offer luggage storage, access to shared bathrooms and toilets, towel exchanges, and room cleaning—all available upon request.
