This Place Made our Trip to Kyoto Easy
GRIDS KYOTO SHIJO KAWARAMACHI
If possible,
we like spending money more on going places and doing things when traveling,
not so much accommodation.
But when traveling to such a popular place like Kyoto it can be difficult.
That's why we wanted to let people know about a cheap hostel
that just opened in April 2018 and is in the heart of central Kyoto!
Right in the walk-in also includes a huge map of Kyoto and
helpful Kyoto tourist books making navigating that much simpler.
Colorful floor number signs
Matching colorful light fixtures
Plenty of multilingual books to check out
Where in Kyoto is GRIDS Located?
What's so special about Shijo?
It's one of Kyoto's most popular shopping areas that still keeps the old fashion Kyoto atmosphere. You'll find lots of traditional Kyoto crafts, food, and even game centers. You can't forget the street leads you right to the beautiful Yasaka Shrine (Gion Shrine). Among there is an area Nishiki Market that is known for being a famous food market in Kyoto.

around allowing guests to freely talk and

Ladies only!
There are restrooms, shower rooms, laundry rooms, and an open area on the floors for the guests.
Your own little space. Each bed has a safety deposit box inside for storing valuables.
Dormitory Type
It's like capsule hotels but more spacious and comfortable.
The third and fourth floors are
"dormitory type" floors.
A dormitory type is a typical guest house or hostel structure
with two bunk beds in one room.
there are plenty of bathrooms and showers here
so we doubt you'll have much to worry about or wait a long time.
Private & Group Type
The fifth floor is a floor with private rooms. In short, if you think of it as a hotel room, it'll be easy to understand. Each room has its own bathroom and shower, so you don't have to walk around the hall in the middle of the night!
There are many different types of group/private rooms, this one, for example, has a bunk bed and 2 beds. Some rooms have bunk beds for groups of more than 2 people.

Fun Cultural Events for Guests
Which is why GRIDS Kyoto has planned various events for its guests every month.
CALLIGRAPHYYYYYY! (書道;shodo)
Even a Western person who has never used a traditional brush or knows kanji (Chinese characters) can do this easily. The instructor knows English pretty well and is really good at showing you the proper stroke techniques. So even someone who isn't used to kanji and write it beautifully.
★Calligraphy lesson 2500 yen (about $23)
TRADITIONAL KYOTO MAKEOVERRRRR!!! (舞子;maiko)
It's also possible to rent a kimono in Kyoto, which is a must, especially in Kyoto! GRIDS KYOTO has a partnership with popular kimono rental store nearby allowing you to even get a full maiko makeover!
But if you're looking for a place to stay in Kyoto that doesn't coast an and a leg,
