If I could rate this place an 11 I would! The apartment is so beautifully decorated with tasteful Japanese artwork and craftsmanship. The shower and bathroom facilties are great. We even had our private onsen, we could use 24/7. The kitchen was great. You sleep on the tatami matts. We used an extra mattress which made the bed very comfortable. The duvets and bed linen were of high quality. We receive a Japanese pyjamas to sleep in. It is in working distance to the golden pavillon. The buses go every 5-10 minutes, so it was very easy to get around. The host and hostess were so friendly and took care of all our needs. The hostess even washed all our clothes free of charge before we left. This has been our best booking sofar. We felt very much at home!

Nothing!

Clean, beautiful and comfortable. The owners welcomed us and were attentive during our entire stay. One of the best stays ever. Quiet neighborhood which gave as an opportunity to experience local life. My son got a heat stroke and the owners went out of their way to help us with the required items to help his recovery.

Nothing!

So elegant, tidy and beautiful, with traditional japanese furniture inside it’s just the kind of ryokan I hope to stay in. Host and hostess are the most friendly people you can ever see, they try their best to make us feel like at home. I love the location, though maybe it’s somehow remote from the center, but every center in every big city is really a boring same , while living in such a house makes you feel like you have been indulged into the local community, have a glance of the peaceful and rhythmic japanese life. We will choose to live here again next time we visit kyoto.

nothing, all 10/10

There are no words to describe this house, the wooden floors, the tatami, the decoration. Surrounded by a beautiful Japanese garden to take your coffee in the morning and a relaxing private onsen to relax at night. I’ll never forget the days I spent there, thank you for everything 💙

The friendly host was waiting for us when we arrived. He went explained thoroughly the amenities available at the property and also suggested sightseeing spots. We got the place all to ourselves thereafter. But the host is easily contactable if help were ever needed. They came to do some cleaning when we were out. Tea and drip coffee was provided. Smoking is allowed in a designated area outside the entrance. Family Mart & Lawson within walking distance. Vending machine for drinks right opposite. Free parking right in front of property for 1 car. Love the yukata pajamas. They were so comfortable

Everything is great.

Everything was above expectations, the property looks even better than the photos and the first 5 words that came out of our mouths were WOW. From entering to the front garden to viewing the apartment. The host was excellent, helpful and greeted us with a smile and the Japanese kindness. Definitely wishing to return back in the future. The area is a calm and silent neighborhood and the property as advertised has a free parking spot. Cleanliness was exceptional and we wish we had more days for this wonderful house. Highly recommended for anyone traveling to Kyoto.

Nothing, everything was perfect.

We stayed for 4 nights in a beautiful room overlooking a peaceful Japanese garden. The room was cleverly laid out that gave a good sense of flow and breathing space to the space to put us at ease. But what is indeed exceptional is the host family who are so wonderfully helpful. Lovely individuals.

Beautiful house in top location (walking distance from Kinkaku-ji, the golden pavillion.) The host couple is very nice and helpful.

Everything was excellent! Better than the photos, every corner is beautiful and artistic. I love the time in this house. The old couples are also nice to us.
