Excellent location to explore not only Kyoto but also day trips to Nara, Himeji, Osaka, Fuji and Hiroshima because it is five minutes walking from Kyoto station where there are buses, trains and the subway. Rates are low and even lower if you stay an extended period. Very clean. Helpful and friendly staff. Overall great hostel.

The tour club is hands down the best place to stay in Kyoto. It in inexpensive, located close to the train station, and the staff and owner are very friendly and helpful to travelers who stay at the Tour Club. They have private Japanese style rooms or dorm style beds, shared bathing and bathroom facilities, a washer and dryer, a... More

I had trouble finding it the first time, but once you got the hang of it by recognising the iconic buildings nearby, it becomes an ease. About 10-15 mins walk from the Kyoto Station and buses and trains to all the attractions. If I'm right about his name, Toshi was very helpful and welcoming throughout my 4 nights. He often... More

Although I found it hard to find (perhaps a better map can be added to their website with shop names etc to help you find your way) the Tour club hostel was a great place to stay. Small but well kept with really really helpful staff. The room was a nice size and had a lockable locker big enough for... More

I had a fantastic experience at the Tour Club. I arrive in Kyoto without any reservations at the peak of Cherry Blossom season (equivalent to Spring break). Although they didn't have any rooms available, the staff went above and beyond and found me a bed in a dorm on one of their 4 nearby locations. They really saved my bu**... More

I enjoyed my stay at Tour Club Kyoto. It was close to the station, the staff were friendly and helpful. The common area is very spacious and so are the rooms. I loved how big the lockers were. The place and the toilet/shower rooms were very clean. I highly recommend this place if you are visiting Kyoto. The only thing... More

位於東西本願寺之間, 每日買一日券的洛巴市票, 步行十分鐘便可抵達西本願寺,由寺前搭No.9前往各大古蹟或名勝.或者步行十五分鐘自巴士/京都總站出發.  職員能說英語,環境清潔,暖氣充足.除了廚房缺筷子和盤皿之外,一切都很方便. 單獨旅行,住在女性宿舍區,房間內的櫃子可鎖,唯和式拉門無鎖,晚間職員下班後, 得靠自己小心為上了.     英文評價網似乎當機,以下是原先意見 ◇Over all excellent ◇Value very good ◇Room very good ◇Location very good ◇Cleanliness excellent ◇Service/Facilities very good ◇Shun haven't met ◇Ayaka haven't met ◇Toshi very good ◇Tadashi very good ◇Kenta very good ◇Comment I took 14 nights over there because Mr. Kiyomizu (清水正治) the owner of guesthouse is open-minded to give a brief introduction to Kyoto....

Stayed here much longer than initially planned due to the friendly staff, nice rooms and excellent location (5 minutes from Kyoto staion) Very easy to explore historical places like Hiroshima and Nara from here on daytrips. Great value for money!
