• From Kyoto Station:
• Go out the Central Exit. (In case that you go out of other ticket gates, please head for Kyoto Tower side through 'North-south Walkway'.)
• Walk on Karasuma-dori street to the intersection with Karasuma Shichijo; you'll see Kyoto Tower on your left side. There is a Starbucks and McDonald's along Karasuma-dori.
• Turn right at the intersection with Karasuma Shichijo and you will see Kyoto Station Hotel on the left. Turn left at the corner of the first street between the hotel and the real estate agent called Century 21, and you will see Kyoto Hana Hostel. It's about 50 metres (164 feet) from the corner.
• There is an underground passage from Kyoto station to Karasuma-Shichijo intersection. It is a good way on rainy days.
