“The perfect mix of old and new Japan”
Do not hesitate to book this stunning home in Kyoto. An architectural oasis. I looked at so many places and made the right choice with Hotori. The home is the perfect t mix of old world Japan with all the modern conveniences. A lovely location with many sights and restaurants within walking distance. Yuri and her team are welcoming and have added so many small touches to make our stay magical. The kids especially loved the origami lesson with Sayuri.

“Relaxing, authentic, stunning location and heart warming staff”
Absolutely EVERYTHING. From the moment we booked, we felt heard and cared for. Yuri and her team of talented women went above and beyond to make my mother and myself feel welcome. Best place I have ever stayed!. The house is stunning, authentic, picture perfect in every way. Amazing kitchen, massive bath, luxury beauty products, chef cooked breakfast, comfy beds and lots of little areas to relax and enjoy the zen. Rebooked for January it was that good

“A home away from home. Awesome host to assist you in every need!”
The hosts are very professional and super nice ladies. Apart from providing full-fledge daily amenities, fruits, tea, and comfort of the villa, they also recommended amazing dining options. They have great patience and always carry warm smiles. They went extra miles to help me buy fever medicine for my daugter as she felt sick on the day of our check-out. Awesome job and very recommended.

We loved everything here! The staff was excellent and always made sure our needs were met! The location is also perfect, with a lot of restaurants and attractions near, such as Hōkan-ji. The staff made us a list of restaurant recommendations which were all within walking distance from the home. We really enjoyed our stay and would 100% recommend it to everyone!!!
