Although the hotel is within comfortable walking ditance of Kyoto Station and its Bullet Train platforms, the hotel runs a complimentary shuttle service to and from the Station approximately 6 times an hour, so one rarely has to wait more than a few minutes, and the ride itself takes just 2-3 minutes. From Kyoto Station, there is rail access to Nara, Osaka and Kansai Airport, and from Kyoto Station Bus Terminal, a cheap and regular local bus service fans out across the city giving easy access to every major sightseeing attraction in Kyoto.
