Amazing space, all the conveniences you need and more for what you didn’t think you’d need! They thought of it all. Super convenient location, quiet and comfortable. Next time we come to Kyoto, we will look to book here again!

This was a lovely traditional Japanese home with easy access to bus and shopping. The property is well maintained and spacious. Our only complaints were that the front bedroom is right on the street side and a bit noisy. We were also there during the heat of the summer and that room was very warm. If you have only 6 people, the other rooms are well air conditioned and lovely. The water pressure in the showers is amazing, and it was super convenient to be able to wash clothes in the included washing machine!

5 nights in Kyoto

It was a treat to stay in this beautiful home. We were finally able to eat in and enjoy being together, instead of splitting into 3 hotel rooms. The showers had great water pressure and the toilets are modern. My biggest disappointment was sleeping on the floor on a futon, which I haven't done for decades. I'm recovering from a torn calf muscle, so stairs are difficult and getting off the floor was difficult. The Wash-Dry machine doesn't really dry well, but there was a heat wave so we hung our clothes to dry outside.Rooms & beds4 bedrooms (sleeps 9)Bedroom 13 Twin BedsBedroom 22 Twin BedsBedroom 32 Twin BedsBedroom 42 Twin Beds
