KOKO HOTEL Residence Kyoto Nijo Castle
Enjoyed our stay in Kyoto. Nice accommodations, good value. After checking out and getting as far as the Kyoto train station, I realized I had left my watch behind. So I called the hotel to let them know. Thankfully, I was able to go back and retrieve it from the front desk. Thank you!
