This is an amazing guesthouse. I wanted to have the full traditional japanese house experience and I had everything. This a traditional guesthouse with tatamis, shower and restroom in the oustide and with a beautiful little garden. The common area is cute, the decoration is beautiful. Everything is provided, clean and organised. The neighborhood is very nice, a little far away from the subway station but really close from the bus stations. Hence I only used buses in Kyoto. The staff were amazing ! But if I could say something maybe they are a little too much in a haste to clean in early morning. It’s 7 or 8 and they are already replacing stuff straight back after us so I felt a little bit like I was in the way. Maybe wait until most of the people leave around 10-11 hahaha? But this is a minor thing. Everything was really great. I loved every part of my stay and trip on Kyoto ! ARIGATOOO

The place is beautiful, beds in dorms were comfortable. Shower was nice with hot water. There is a restaurant and a 7 eleven around the corner. The place is clean.

We stayed on pretty cold and rainy days. The way to toilets and showers is through the backyard so it was pretty cold to get there. There were no plugs around the bed, which made it problematic to load phones. The pipes are pretty old, sometimes there was an unpleasant smell and the water did not taste good. All in all I found the price for mixed dorm bed pretty high, however Kyoto is expensive.

Loved this guesthouse, we stayed in the dorm and it was very quiet (only 5 beds) and with plenty of space. The whole guesthouse was super clean, there are 3 showers and 3 toilets but they are more than enough because the guesthouse has a limited amount of guests (including the private rooms I would say max 10 people). The house is in traditional Japanese style, very well kept and taken care of!

Nothing specific I didn't like but if I have to mention something it would be the location, it's a bit far from the center so you always need to take a bus, although this basically works for Kyoto in general because things to see are kind of scattered here and there and walking from one to the other is hard.

Best place to stay in Kyoto by far!!!! The man running this place was an absolute sweetheart!!! He was so kind and hospitable and nervous to make everything perfect for us. We stayed in the mixed female dorm and it was amazing! Super comfortable extremely clean and efficient! The bathroom and shower were awesome as well! The indoor spaces, the kitchen, the living room, the small shrine it was all incredible!! We were offered some cookies, tea, coffee, and even earbuds for free too! 10/10, I would definitely stay there again and recommend this place to everyone!!

Everything was perfect!!

Charming gem of a place in a quiet lane off the main road. It offers a chance to appreciate the atmosphere of a traditional Japanese house, with tatami mats, sliding doors and a lovely courtyard garden. Also kitchen facilities. Well run by the helpful owner. If eating locally, there's a modern sushi place as well as a cafe run by a friendly husband and wife team offering generous-sized set meals.

Place itself was beautiful. Japanese style. Room was very comfort and old-style but in perfect shape. Good place to meet new people and exchange experiences. Staff was very helpful and polite. Good English communication. Possibility to rent a bike on place.

It was far away from the city center. At night quite noisy from the street (but ears plugs were attached to the room). What I really regret is nobody told us about possibility of bike rent. We noticed that when we leaved the place.

Everything in this Guesthouse is exactly how and where is supposed to be. The Guesthouse it's full of books and traditional Japanese furniture that makes you feel at home. Furthermore, the owner himself keeps this place absolutely impeccable: from the organization of the flippers on the Genkan to the tidiness of the beds, everything in place! A nice plus is that there are very nice, cosy and cheap local restaurants in the neighborhood.

The staff was really friendly and inviting. The guesthouse was cozy and I enjoyed the stay. They have a little outdoor seating area which was nice to enjoy a cup of tea.

The mattress was a bit worn out but still comfortable enough. Also the bathrooms were quite small but I didn't mind that too much. The location is not in the city centre and it always took around at least 30 mins to get to most places.

Wonderful guest house ! Owner is very kind, and the rooms are great, with towel available for shower, air conditioner and enough space for suitcases ! There are also common rooms to eat with others, and a bicycle rental service ! It's also pretty well located, in the north of Kyoto, not too far from everything, near a konbini, a supermarket, and a great onsen ! Thank you so much !!!

For people who have a sensitive back, beds can be a bit thin, but for me it was okay ! It was perfect! I will surely come back if I visit Kyoto again - after doing the Ohenro :)

The guesthouse was cute and clean. The staffs are very nice and helpful, and the location is well connected with buses. The common room invites travelers to chill and meet up with others.

The bed is really hard to sleep in; unless you are used to sleeping on the floor, you might wake up with stiff back cuz the thin layer of ‘pillow’ doesn’t really count as mattress.
