“Lovely stay in Kyoto !”

It is a lovely place to stay in if you want to go to Kyoto ! The staff is very nice, talkative and helpful. The traditional breakfast is totally worth it. Overall, a great experience !

Very Japanese accomodation, friendly staff, little far from the Kyoto centre, but the surrounding area was lovely and perfect onsen nearby. We would definitely stay again

“Our favourite stay of our Japan trip, travelling with our two kids. The home was everything I wanted to experience in re”

Everything

“An intimate Japanese experience.”

The experience was authentic and intimidate. I will remember the experience for a long time. The beds were comfortable, the room and house was beautiful and the staff were kind, knowledgeable and thoughtful. Taro-san is one-in-a-million. He was really helpful, patient and funny. An invaluable asset to the guesthouse.

“Great cultural experience”

Our family had a lovely stay and enjoyed spending time with the host Taro who was very welcoming and helpful. We had the traditional breakfast and my kids aged 7 and 9 loved the experience.

“Awesome stay and unmatched hospitality”

It was a really awesome stay in a very traditional house. We felt very welcome and special thanks goes to Tarō who gave us insider tips and recommendations about Kyoto and when we left he even got up with us (even though we left really early) just to say goodbye to us. So of course you get a rather basic stay with shared bathrooms and rather cold rooms but the hospitality and experience makes it all worth. The Japanese breakfast is also really great value for the cost and we really recommend booking it. It is also really close to Funaoka Onsen which is an experience for itself.

Very friendly and helpful staff, nice traditional inn for a great price.

“Unique experience”

Friendly staff, beautiful house and amazing tatami rooms

“I loved this place, and the staff”

A beautiful and very traditional 120-year-old ryokan within easy walking distance of several bus lines. The owner is a backpacker who loved meeting other travelers when he was on the road, so he became an innkeeper. He loves meeting his guests, and can give excellent advice on travel throughout Japan. This is a very good choice especially if you like meeting new people.

“A beautiful experience in Kyoto”

Very beautiful and charming place. The hosts are wonderful, speak good english, and took really good care of us. The breakfast is also delicious.

Helpful and friendly staff. Interesting to stay in a traditional ryokan. Good bus connections even though away from the centre.

“Stunning”

Beautiful house, kind and attentive staff, great rooms, good area, amazing experience

Very friendly staff, very authentic and beautiful japanese style house

Very beautiful guesthouse, very comfortable room and common spaces. We loved the neighborhood, its restaurants and Onsen, and the fact that it is a bit away from the busy touristic part of the city, but still very well connected with several bus stops

Authentic traditional style.

“An absolute gem”

A very traditional but very welcoming Ryokan. A very peaceful place, friendly and in a secluded part of the city. Great advice for off the beaten track exploration in the area..

“Amazing guest house”

The house is astonishing, really beautiful and the room of 3 people that we got was really big. The staff was really nice and had a lot of services like bike rental or kimono rental.

“Highly recommended!”

We loved staying there. The atmosphere of its place was amazing (very traditional & historical), delicious Japanese traditional breakfast, and the twin economy room was spacious. All the staff were welcoming and helpful. It's a bit of a trip from Kyoto station if you take a bus, but easy to get to if you take the train & taxi. It's a great location and walkable to Golden Temple and nearby temples. Lots of good restaurants & cafes around as well as convenience stores, supermarket & chemists. I would definitely love to stay there again and will highly recommend it to others.

“This made our stay so much more enjoyable.”

Lovely owner - „a true Japanese experience“. It was such a pleasure to live in those delicate houses. I have a huge passion for Japanese architecture so it was lovely to experience living in a ryokan.

cozy traditional Japanese house with a great and helpful staff
