This was a charming traditional Japanese house, but it was warm and accommodating and perfect for our group of 5! There were thoughtful details like toiletries and yukatas available, along with a small kitchen and washer/dryer. Perhaps the best thing was the location- a train station was only minutes away and the quiet street connected to a great covered shopping street that provided groceries and restaurants as well.

This was fine for our group but the rooms are small and you are in close quarters so just be prepared to share if you have a larger group.

+ it is just like in the pictures - it is nicely rennovated, has a sense of both "old" and "new" - with comfort + the tea available was super good and there were some extra sweets also of good quality! + there is space to put legs down under the low table + spacious bath area and you can see the garden while taking bath ^^ and they provided us with kind of yukata too + and we liked the lock - no need to carry around keys

- on the second floor there are two rooms and there is no partition between them in the upper part - which means there is no obstacle for light and sounds - when we arrived, it was too hot (meaning they made it too hot before our arrival) - the stuff that met us was not japanese, so it spoiled our impression a little bit - i mean, we arrive to kyoto and japan to interact with japanese huh :) (and we speak japanese too) - would be nice to have some low light in the living room - because the main one is too bright

Location is convenient with some great local restaurants nearby. House is spacious and the stay was a wonderful traditional experience.

For three guests there were only two chairs. That meant one of us was always sitting on the floor without any comfort - which is difficult for middle aged western tourists. I would suggest the owners incorporate some more comfortable seating (at least enough chairs for the number of guests).

This home is worth every penny to stay in. It’s just a short, few minute walk from the train station and surrounded by lots of amazing food and shopping options. When you walk into the home you are taken back by how beautiful it is. Every detail of the decor, linens, chairs, were simply stunning. Honestly, I’ve never seen such a lovely and welcoming space. I only wish we would have known how perfect it would be, we regret only staying for 2 nights. Thank you for leaving tea for us as well. We will be back!

The house looks very nice with everything you can need. Very big (we were 6 and fitted perfectly)

The rooms upstairs are connected so you can hear everything from one room to the other.

Everything. It was so Nice and Authentic. Nice rooms, garden and dinning room incl. bathtub with look to the garden. Relaxation in japanese kimonos in japanese surroundings!

Dont want to change anything. Choose another place if you want af combi japanese/ western experience.

A work of art Close to everything. So clean and comfortable. A very unique experience. They made everything so easy. Lots of extra gifts. Love it! My whole family of 8 .we are going to stay again when we come back!

In a quiet neighborhood with many hidden gems to uncover. It gives you feeling living like locals. Train station is within walking distance. The owner is very kind to help arrange forwarding luggage to the next hotel.

Awesome traditional home, excellent location, quiet street, loved the immersive experience of staying in a Japanese house. Hosts were great, so easy to deal with. Thank you!
