A well maintained traditional Japanese house with tatami flooring. The house had all the comforts - a well stocked kitchen; comfortable beds (including the ones on the floor!); lots of space for everyone (2 adults and 2 kids). We loved the experience and the house!

The biggest detractor was the bathroom situation. Although the toilet was heated and very comfortable, the area of the house for the toilet and the separate shower were off the back in an unconditioned part of the house. Unfortunately we were there when temperatures were hovering around 0 (freezing), so showering wasn’t so comfortable.

Handy location and great to stay in a Japanese home as opposed to a hotel or tourist apartment. Daniel, the property manager, is awesome - super helpful.

Steep stairs up to the bedrooms could be challenging if you have mobility issues. The toilet and shower are out the back - not a big deal but a little inconvenient at times.

It presents as more of a traditional Japanese place to stay which was nice. Separate bedrooms suits a small family well. Fairly close to a train station and bus stop.

The tiolet was on the ground floor and the bedrooms were upstairs, stairs were steep. The property perhaps is not as suitable for older people. Toilet and bathroom are out the back and cold in winter. Bath was small but fun for a short stay. All the doors had low head heights so there was a lot of ducking between rooms and knocking of heads for the taller members of our party.

It's a traditional style Japanese house. Beautifully upkept. It is conveniently located in Tofukuji which places you a station or two from Fushimi-Inari, Kiyomizu-Dera, Toufukuji temple, and also 1 station away from Kyoto Station. It would be a 30 minute walk if you wanted to do that which is relatively easy. I loved this house. It's full of charm and character.

This is an old house, so don't expect the Hilton.

The authentic Japanese style of the home was a hit with my family. It felt like we were staying in a genuine Japanese home. It was also very spacious, with enough room for a family of five.

The stairs were very narrow and very steep. My feet could barely fit on each step. This wasn’t a problem for our young family, but it could be a problem for an older person.

Authentic Kyoto house that felt historic. Personal introduction on arrival was nice. I had a payment issue and he was very accommodative in helping me sort it out.

As stated in other reviews the toilet and shower are on the bottom floor and are exposed to open air between the house and the facilities (like a metre or two).

Communication with the host was excellent and instructions shared beforehand. As advertised, the house was very traditional throughout in a very quiet und cute neighbourhood in Kyoto.

As mentioned by others the stairs to the bedrooms are very steep und narrow. So are probably not ideal for mobility impaired guests or with very young kids.

It is possible to leave your bags from 11.00h.

The charm of old traditional Japanese house, Japanese style room, furnitures and living room. Location is also good.

The only drawback was the toilet located in a garden which is actually outside the house and so was a bit hot and wet, but it wasn’t a big problem

We could find everything what we needed, and it was a great experience to stay in a traditional Kyoto house. Good location and a wonderful host. Once you find the location of the house and the parking, you’d realize you’re lucky to have found this place.
