A guest house with all the necessary Japanese comfort in a residential area close to two major temples: Kinkaku-ji and Ryoan-ji. Also nearby are numerous restaurants, a bakery, and the superb Funaoka onsen, all within walking distance. We greatly appreciated the bicycles provided for getting around Kyoto (for example, to reach Arashiyama bamboo forest or the moss temple Saiho-ji). The host was always very responsive in answering our questions.

The guest house is a bit far from Kyoto Station, and it takes a good 40-45 minutes to get there by bus 205. The sound insulation of the windows isn't very good, and you can hear a lot of traffic noise from the avenue, but with earplugs, it's manageable!

Walking distance from one of Kyoto’s most famous attractions, the Golden Pavillion. Provided bikes were convenient. Very close to several food options, notably Hama-Sushi and Maccas, and supermarkets. Air con was fairly warm, perfect for the winter chills.

Bit of a trek from the station by foot, would recommend taking a taxi to and from the property. The stairs are steep and can be challenging to climb up for any people with movement difficulties. There are no downstairs beds apart from the couch in the living room.

The house met all our needs. The neighborhood is lovely within walking distance of Kinkakuji. There is a bakery on the corner and a grocery coop around the corner. Several restaurants are close by. We were visiting our son who lives nearby and we were happy to find accommodations in this part of town. The owner was helpful and I appreciated that he stopped by to meet us and to refresh towels. Would stay again!

This house is typical Japanese house love it, the culture has seen it and amazing but for those people who is elderly they can't sleep on floor as they having problems to get up, unfortunately we have 2 elderly in my family but will definitely book this again in future. Near in the centre of Kyoto.

The stair is very narrow, but everything is good

The property is in a nice quiet part of Kyoto but still within easy reach of public transport making it easy to get around to all the main attractions. My family also really enjoyed using the available bicycles to do a bit of sightseeing which I highly recommend. Finally, our host was fantastic. He was very friendly always prompt with replies,

quiet neighborhood and easy bus rides

the rooms were a bit too bright in the morning and it could use some blinds or sun shades. some parts of the house can be cleaned more like the appliances and air conditioners

The property is rented as a whole house therefore we do not have to share with other people. It is private and located in a beautiful, quiet area.

Bedrooms are upstairs but toilet is downstairs.

Wonderful home in Kyoto. Comfortable for my family. Owner was very attentive and helpful.

Got a little chilly at night and the electric blankets helped.
