Kyoto Station may have a lot of malls and restaurants, and is also on a subway stop, but it looks so industrial, and is far from everything worth seeing.

A 10 minute walk into Gion and a three minute walk from the big markets and the main restaurant row.

The Okura is in the heart of Kyoto, steps from City Hall and a bustling shopping and dining district (300-400 shops and department stores within minutes), a train station, shrines, and about a dozen convenience stores (for drinks and snacks) and excellent bakeries (breakfast and coffee anyone?

It is also only a short taxi ride of 10-15 minutes from the station and in addition to being close to many sights is very convenient for the shops and restaurants of the centre of town.

Loved it and quite close to the subway, but with so many interesting stores close by, why subway when you can walk.
