Miyako Hotel Kyoto Hachijo (988) - Room Giant at the Station’s South Gate

Two hundred-seat lobby cafés absorb wave arrivals; six banquet rooms up to 1,200 m² let organisers segment tours by language or market. Tracks direct coaches through a private porte cochère, so even student mega-groups disembark efficiently.

Groups churn through generous buffets featuring tofu-skin sashimi, matcha bread and yuzu-pepper sausages before day-tripping to Kobe or Hiroshima. At night, travellers regroup in a cavernous izakaya to trade stories—proof that size, soul and smooth logistics can co-exist.
