Hankyu line Karasuma Station, Municipal Subway Shijo Station, just a short walk away, there is a capsule hotel operated by the company that operates Karaoke Pasela, etc. Next to the front desk on the 1st floor, there is a cafe bar where you can have a free breakfast in the morning. The cafe bar has a counter with 10 seats, a central counter table with 6 seats, and is quite narrow. For breakfast, you can enjoy all-you-can-eat curry, ochazuke, and bread. Curry is the best choice for breakfast. There are Fukujinzuke and rakkyo available, and you can freely add spices for extra flavor. I had curry with boiled egg and miso soup. The curry itself tasted like a very ordinary "home-cooked curry." Unfortunately, when it was time to change the pot, there was hardly any meat left in the curry... It ended up being just carrots, potatoes, and eggplant. I wanted to try ochazuke as well, but I had to keep some space in my stomach for lunch. In the evening, hotel guests can enjoy all-you-can-drink alcohol for 750 yen per hour. You need to inform the front desk and get an entry pass before starting. It's mostly self-service, and dried fruits are provided as snacks. You can also bring your own snacks, and they sell canned goods as well. Additionally, for a limited time from 3 pm to midnight, you can enjoy unlimited red and white wine poured from a barrel as a welcome drink. Each capsule has mineral water, charging connectors, and a variety of amenities. You can choose your favorite pillow, and there is a wide range of amenities available, making it a more luxurious experience compared to a typical capsule hotel. Furthermore, it is rare for a capsule hotel to have separate floors for men and women, and even the elevators are separated by gender. It's a bit envy-inducing that only the women's communal bath has a stone sauna...

I live in Kyoto, but for some reason I stayed at this hotel. This place is known for its free breakfast curry rice. It's self-service, so I ended up piling my plate high. The curry rice had large chunks of potatoes, carrots, broccoli, and plenty of meat, including chicken thigh meat on the day I visited. The curry had a classic taste that seemed to appeal to everyone. There were also various condiments available to change up the flavor of the curry. There is a vegetable store called Tsunago nearby, so many people seemed to be aiming for breakfast there. However, I recommend not missing out on the curry breakfast if you stay here, and maybe even try both the curry and Tsunago for breakfast. It might be more than enough food, but it's worth it. If I have another reason, I would definitely stay here again to have the breakfast curry. Thank you for the meal.

The inn where I stayed during the Gion Festival is this capsule hotel. It opened in April, so it's very clean. At night, guests can enjoy all-you-can-drink at the bar for 750 yen per hour. In the morning, guests can enjoy a buffet of curry and freshly baked bread. The curry is full of vegetables and very delicious. The taste of the curry is like homemade, but with lots of ingredients, making it very tasty. There are various spices available for seasoning, making it fun to change the flavor. You can also enjoy your meal on the open deck outside, which seems like a fun experience to have all-you-can-drink on the open deck in Kyoto at night. The staff's service is also excellent, so I would definitely want to use this capsule hotel again if I have the chance.
