“Lovely.”
- The place where you can feel right at home. - A chance to borrow a bike (a 700 yen e-bike with a battery that can last all day). - Everything is clean.

The hosts were very nice and helpful, the rooms and the bathroom were very clean. The place had a calm aura and was very charming. At the same time it was located in a nice area, close to everything. I really recommend this place!

“good place with memories”
Another comfy stay. I decided to stay on a whim, but the spots recommended by Nori were mostly blooming! Though there's no too many people during my stay, it's still delightful to talk with the people from around the world. Hope everything goes well for Nori and the familiar face I met again! I'll still come back if I get the chance!

This guest house provides much more than a place to stay. It provides a home. The house is very cosy and has every facility you could possibly want. The host is extremely helpful and nice. He will also help in any way possible with your trip. I was only supposed to stay 2 nights but ended up staying 4. I wouldn't ever consider staying anywhere else in Kyoto ^_^ Also, everything is super close.. train station, 7-Eleven, cafes, restaurants, and much more.

“Don't miss this opportunity!”
The place was very clean, with all sorts of comforts you could need. The position was very good, in the center of Kyoto, making every part of the city accessible. Would totally recommend.

The hospitality of the guy from reception, he showed me a lot of interesting parts of Kyoto to visit, and helped me dry my shoes after rain. The house is so cosy and warm, and traditional style. Beautiful.

What a lovely place to stay. The room was lovely traditional style and we even had a cute little garden. Great location, away from the crowds of Kyoto but still walkable to attractions and easy access to bus and subway for further away spots. Nori at the guest house was so lovely and welcoming, making the place feel homely. He gave valuable tips for our travel plans too. We got soaked wet through and he helped us dry out our clothes, even providing a shoe drier! Japanese technology hey! Clothes washing facilities were also great (and speedy), with plenty of space to hang our clothes.

The staff were fantastic and very friendly, the owner (sorry I’ve forgotten his name) was exceptionally helpful with giving information for tourists on where was good and not good to visit! The bed was really comfortable and the shared space was calm and relaxing. It felt very authentic.
