There are plenty of places to stay and eat. If you can get a good deal on a hotel here, it’s a decent place to stay, especially since it’s on the shinkansen line and only 11 minutes from Kyoto, making this a good area for those who want to explore both Kyoto and Osaka without moving hotels. This is a good option for Japan Rail Pass holders.
