HOSTEL NINIROOM

part coffee shop, part hostel, which already puts niniroom in a category of its own in sakyo ward. the address puts you out on higashimarutacho, a quieter stretch of kyoto that doesn't get the same foot traffic as the main tourist corridors, and that distance from the noise is probably the point. people who find their way here tend to come back, and that kind of loyalty in a city with no shortage of specialty options is not nothing. the coffee program is taken seriously rather than treated as an afterthought to the accommodation side of things, which you'll feel in the cup. come for the morning, before the day fills up, and order whatever they're pouring that week.
