Next door to Takashimaya Department Store (ie, right downtown), the Good Nature Hotel is a pleasantly “green” hotel built around a soaring and light-filled lobby. Rooms are spacious, the breakfast is healthy and the staff tries hard to please.

The location of the hotel is a major selling point. It’s right downtown, only steps from the major shopping streets, the Kamo-gawa River, the Hankyu and Keihan train lines, and a nearly infinite variety of shops, restaurants and bars. And if you got tired of eating out, you could pick up some brilliant prepared foods from the Takashimaya food floor and eat in your room.
