What travelers are saying
- HotRodHeartFrance121 contributionsI went there twice and the staff was always helpful and spot on.
I asked about the location of a ramen restaurant I had spoted, but the staff knew a lot about ramen and pointed me to 2 shops that were closer and very nice.
The second time to find a place to watch the autumn foliage. They had all the info from time to get there to how advanced it was at each location.
It is quite crowded though, but there's many staff so the queue goes by at a reasonable pace.
If they ever read this, thanks for your help :)Written August 7, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - runhaagsBuffalo, NY115 contributionsThis museum was really cool, although to enjoy it you definitely need at least some knowledge of kanji, and Japanese as well. I don't speak Japanese, but my wife and her friend do, which allowed me to enjoy the museum anyway. It is designed for Japanese students, so there are many interactive exhibits showing the development and history of Kanji. The signs are only in Japanese, although many of the staff speak excellent English. If you don't know anything about Kanji, this isn't the place for you, but for those interested in it and with some knowledge of Japanese, it's worth a visit.Written August 7, 2016This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- aeriecircusDallas, TX65 contributionsBeautiful gardens behind this conference center. The layout of the conference center is somewhat spread out and not always well-marked, but the architecture is interesting.Written June 16, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Sakura92085 contributionsThe place was astounishing and the staff was so helpful!
They have a place to relax, a powder room, a prayer room, even some gachapon!!!
They also have a FREE shuttle bus (only for their japaning hotel guests).
If you want to know more about Kyoto, or just simply have a comfortable, relaxing time, you gotta visit this place.
100% recommended!! ^_^Written February 21, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - Paul_in_AustraliaMitcham, Australia425 contributionsTakes a little time to find; across the road from the main station at Kyoto. Helpful English speaking staff. We purchased the Kansai Thru Pass here. Cash only.Written December 30, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.

- mafischlHuntington, NY1,990 contributionsMy wife and I were looking for a place to both eat and cool down after finishing the Philosopher's Path. It was a really hot day and we couldn't find a reasonable place to eat when we stumbled upon the International house. It has a lovely restaurant on the second floor. It's a really interesting place with all sorts of services. Has to be a tremendous asset to the local community.Written May 11, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Kimitaka STaichung, Taiwan11,958 contributionsMiyako Messe in Okazaki Park is an event space, but I seldom go. A part of Nitten exhibition was displayed in this place. So, I had the opportunity to visit it.Written January 6, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- badmintontimHastings, UK4,534 contributionsAs most places in Japan we found that this also had the same issue with the staff having not perfect English although one would expect this in a Major Tourist Information centre
Saying that we did receive the information that we needed and went on our way
Beware that unlike Europe this Tourist Information centre has very limited opening hoursWritten March 30, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - Dr. ShibuyakkoTokyo and California34,718 contributionsThis information center located at Kawaramachi-Sanjo, downtown Kyoto is friendly and helpful. Staff speak good English and know their business. Free maps and some coupons as well.Written June 29, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
