Crossroads Inn v Ryokan Hinomoto (Kyoto)

Hi there.

I was hoping someone might be able to give me a bit of accommodation advice for Kyoto. I'm planning on staying there for five nights and after quite a bit of research my number on choice is the Crossroads Inn (http://www.rose.sannet.ne.jp/c-inn/). I'm getting really good vibes about this place but I do have a slight concern about the location in the West of the city, I'm just thinking that it isn't ideally placed for either attractions or for evenings out. What do other people think?

My other choice would be Ryokan Hinomoto (http://www.ryokan-hinomoto.jp/eng_info/index.html) which I think has a better location nearer the East side, so, excellently placed for eating, nightlife, and the majority of sightseeing.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi! I recommend Hinomoto because the area of Hinomot is good atmospheres of Kyoto and convenient for shopping and eat.
