KeFu stay & lounge

‘KeFu stay & lounge’ is a stylish hotel and café combined, located in North Kyoto’s Nishijin district which is famous for it’s textile industry. It’s located right in the middle of Kitanohakubaicho Station and Imadegawa station, however it still takes about 20 minutes on foot from either station.

Kefu looks like an ordinary hotel from the outside. It has vertical wooden bars covering the façade as well as vertical bars for the balconies of the hotel rooms. There is a 2 story bicycle parking next to the entrance as well as a small shrine next to the drive way.

When you enter the building the first thing you will see is the stylish curved check-in counter made from wood. On your right you will find the café area and in the back is the lounge area. Even further in the back through glass slide doors is the inner patio and the entrance to the guestrooms. The lounge area has a contemporary design with large comfortable lime green sofas. On the wall behind the café area is a large map of Kyoto that shows interesting sights as well as the origin of some of the products sold and used at Kefu cafe.

KeFu’s menu has a wide range of foods and drinks that include sandwiches, parfait, curry rice, pudding and more. All the food looks good and tastes delicious.
