I went to 'TUNE STAY KYOTO', which looks like a 'staying library' where you can read and sleep while eating and drinking books on the wall.



In collaboration with numabooks , which operates a bookstore 'Bookstore B & B ' that offers 'experiences' that are different from online bookstores and large bookstores , a library-like hotel 'TUNE STAY KYOTO ' with a bookshelf on the entire wall will open on November 1, 2019. It will open from the day. It's made like a 'library with a cafe' where you can browse books to your heart's content with coffee or roasted green tea beer , but it was said that you can stay in a completely private room from 3,500 yen, so I stayed a little earlier.

The address of TUNE STAY KYOTO is '708 Ebisunocho, Shimogyo-ku, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture', and it is a 5-minute walk from JR Kyoto Station.


The black building in the foreground along the road is TUNE STAY KYOTO.



The entrance looks like this. It is a modern yet Japanese atmosphere.



There is a reception immediately after entering the building, and if you follow the same counter and proceed to the back, you will find a bar and cafe.



There is a bookshelf on the left side of the reception desk ...



This bookshelf has an overwhelming presence. It feels like a library and has 2000-3000 books.



There is a staircase along the bookshelf, and the wooden part on the left can be used as a chair. It's nice to be able to pick up the book you care about and take a closer look at it on the spot.



Nearly 3000 books are lined up, but the contents of the books are all related to Kyoto. If there is a manga

called 'Maiko-san Chinomanai-san ' that a 16-year-old girl prepares meals for Maiko-san every day ...



A new book for those who want to know Kyoto quite deeply.



Speaking of Kyoto, there are also novels by

Tomihiko Morimi and Manabu Makime.



Books to learn about history ...



There was also a book that was a little closer to design and art.



There was also a title, 'The

loneliness of the owner, ' which makes me wonder, 'Isn't this related to Kyoto?', But the author, Ran Domon , is a writer from Kyoto and the owner to be interviewed. There is also a person living in Kyoto. Every book is connected to Kyoto somewhere, so one way to enjoy it is to search for 'Kyoto' from books that you can't imagine from the title.



Looking up from the bottom of the stairs, it looks like this.



There is a counter table opposite the bookshelf, where you can relax with a book in one hand.



When I followed the reception counter, the cafe bar offered light meals because it was a reception. It is said that the menu on this day is different from the one that is usually offered, but it is OK to buy drinks and food here and bring it near the bookshelf.



Alcohol is also served as it is a bar.



TUNE STAY KYOTO has also collaborated with 'Kyoto Beer Lab ', which handles unusual craft beer, and there was also a variant called 'Wasabi Shio Gose' that can only be drunk here. It seems that Hojicha beer is usually served, but I didn't have it this time, so I got 'Wasabi salt gose'.



There are table seats in the bar, but ...



The counter in front of the bookshelf is seated because it is easy to see the large screen on which the images flow. In the future, various videos will be shown at events.



You can freely pick up the books on the bookshelf, so you can use it like a book cafe, where you can drink and eat while drinking the books.



Sit down and read a book with a drink ...



It's okay to look for a book with a drink in one hand. Not only hotel guests but also general guests can use this cafe bar and the common space with bookshelves, so it is good for when you want to look for books in Kyoto or when you want to take a break. The common space is quite large and open, so it seemed like a place for some people to get together and get to know strangers.



After taking a closer look at the first floor, I will head to the room. The whole building has a fashionable atmosphere, but even the space waiting for the elevator is fashionable.



The corridor on the floor has a fairly dark lighting.



The key is the card type.



Enter the room. I stayed in a double room this time, the size is 12 square meters, and the price varies depending on the season, but it starts from 5950 yen per room.



You can see how you are walking around the room from the following movie.

The double room of 'TUNE STAY KYOTO' looks like this-YouTube


In the back of the room, on the right side, there is a double bed that is quite spacious for one person ...



Next to it is a desk and chair work space.



The window next to the desk can be opened up to 10 cm. Since the open destination was the next building, it is not a type to enjoy the view, and even if you see that the whole room is very simple, the private room is just a 'sleeping place', and the rest is spent in the common space on the first floor It seems that it is supposed to be.



You have to buy tea etc. yourself, but pots were also available.



There is nothing in the drawer. The chair is a type without casters.



It seems that we will decide whether or not we can bring the book on the first floor to the room, but of course if you buy a book, you can read it slowly in a quiet room. However, since there is lighting on the bed, it seems a little dark for working or reading a book without the light shining around the desk. The lighting is as if you were told, 'Let's sleep ...', so it seems to be suitable for people who want to read while just before going to bed.



TV in front of the bed.



There is a wooden door right next to the entrance door ...



This was a toilet & shower room. Bath towels and towels are available.



The shower room looks like this. Shampoo, rinse and body soap are lined up.



Washbasin in front of toilet & shower room. There are also hangers and hanger racks, so you can rest assured if you have clothes that you don't want to wrinkle.



Toothpaste was prepared, but you need to bring it as there is no brush.



The dryer is made by

Panasonic.



The refrigerator under the wash basin was not a type where paid food and drinks were lined up, but a style where you could put what you bought yourself.



I heard that there are other room types in TUNE STAY KYOTO, so I asked them to show me. This is a 7.5 square meter single room. When you open the door, the bed fits comfortably between the walls, and when you look at the width, it feels like a capsule hotel. However, it is a completely private room, and there is an air conditioner and TV installed. It starts from 3500 yen per room.



There is a place to hang a hanger on the right wall ...



A flat-screen TV is also installed, although it may be a little difficult to see.



Also, the toilet ...



Equipped with washbasin and shower room. However, there was no refrigerator in this room.



In addition, the twin room has a bunk bed type. The area is 11 square meters, and the price starts from 5,600 yen per room.



I saw the door side from the back of the room. The desk area, shower and toilet are the same as in the double room.



The most spacious is the Twin Superior Room. The area is 16 square meters and starts from 6300 yen per room.



Compared to twin rooms and double rooms, the distance from the bed to the desk is quite large, which makes me happy when I have a lot of luggage.



The desk area, shower and toilet are the same ...



The difference is that there are two single beds side by side.



The room only has a shower, but there are two large and small bathrooms on the first basement floor. Shared toilets, laundry, and baths are lined up in a white space like this.



First, open the door that slides sideways and go to the bathroom.



The large bath is the size that even a family of four can take.



It has a handrail and is an easy-to-use design.



The dressing room is also spacious.



The small bath was the size suitable for one or two people to take a bath.



Laundry room next to the bath.



There are 4 dryers here ...



There are 4 washing machines. The usage fee is 100 yen for the dryer and 200 yen for the washing machine.



In addition, next to the bathroom, there was a kitchen and dining room that guests could use freely 24 hours a day. If you have a hard time eating out during a long stay, or if you want to cook something you bought at a supermarket, the kitchen gives you a lot of options.



There are 4 washrooms, so it seems that congestion at lunch and dinner will be eased.


Two IHs with three mouths are lined up.



Since it was a reception, there were no cooking utensils, but when it opens, kitchen utensils such as pots, frying pans, and kitchen knives are expected to be prepared on shelves and drawers.



There are two pots, one microwave and one refrigerator.



The dining table also has an outlet, so if you want to work in the light on a spacious desk, you can use this.



Sleeping while enjoying reading ... is similar to 'BOOK AND BED TOKYO ', but BOOK AND BED TOKY0 sleeps in the 'middle' of the bookshelf, so you can stay close to the book until one second before going to bed. There is, but since the common space and the sleeping space are dormitory type next to each other, you may be worried about the noise. In this respect, TUNE STAY KYOTO can search for various books without worrying about time, but it is also a point that sleep is not disturbed because it is a completely private room. It is recommended when you want to enjoy reading in a common space, interact with various people, and maintain a solid private space.
