Ritsumeikan University Tours

Fantastic location and nice new rooms! The junior suite is perfect for two people. You can hear street noise throughout the night even on the high floors and the people above you so if you can’t do white noise/ear plugs you may want to think twice, but near the Gion area is the place to be. The AC works very well for those visiting in the heat. It’s right around the corner from a decent gym (Anytime fitness) if you wish the hotel had one - $16 for a day pass between 10am-7pm. The staff was very friendly. If you need more laundry detergent or any supplies they’ll happily give them to you. The washer/dryer machine was great, very easy to use just translate using Google lens etc. Amazing shower and boujee Dyson hair dryer. Lovely to have a fridge/freezer, nespresso machine, tea maker and microwave - especially with so many good markets around and family mart being directly across the street :) Also, for a rainy evening the tv is very modern and you can login to all of the popular streaming apps Netflix etc. I hope I get to return one day!

Hotel right next to the entrance of universal studios japan, the commercial street with plenty of F&B and the train station to Osaka station. Rooms are big, comfortable and clean. I would stay here again should I visit USJ again.
