Outstanding

Everything, as soon as we arrived we were welcomed by the host with a tea ceremony and taiyaki grilled on the small open fire area. The whole property was clean, tidy and we loved the little Japanese traditional features mixed with western comforts. The baths were run on arrival and it was so lovely after a busy day to get in the outside bath and relax. I can not fault the accommodation. We will definitely come and stay again. Also I forgot the morning bento boxes were stunning, just an amazing stay and memories made

Samurai house in Kyoto

Amazing house and great host. You can do your tea ceremony at home in the room with a samurai and the traditional fire. The owner is very welcoming and available for all needs you may have.

Amazing place! Highly recommend

From the moment we arrived, Hiro made us feel at home with a warm and luxurious welcome that included a tea ceremony. The house is charming, spacious, clean, thoughtfully decorated and equipped with everything we needed. The washing machine is excellent. Hiro's breakfasts were interesting and varied, and the children were really looking forward to finding out what meal awaited them in the morning. In addition, the communication with Hiro was excellent, he is available and helps with everything we need, including receiving and sending luggage. And the onsen is so pleasant! We used it every evening. In short - the best place we stayed in Japan! Highly recommended.

The location is quiet and residential but near a large temple. The host is very friendly, and responsive. He made some tea and also brought breakfast. Lastly, the breakfast was very delicious!

Once in a lifetime stay. Just a dream!

Honestly, this stay was the highlight of our holiday; staying in this house was a dream. Hiro, the owner, is the kindest person in the world and adds a special touch to everything. Our stay was simply perfect, and I cannot recommend this place enough. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, truly the best. I also loved the area of the house, the neighborhood is authentic and so beautiful.

A highlight of our first visit to Japan

Hiro was an amazing host! He met us on arrival and treated us to a traditional tea ceremony with marshmallows, which the kids loved. He has created a unique experience that marries the traditional and cultural elements of Japan with the comforts of modern western living. Being able to sleep on traditional Japanese beds, experience the outdoor bath, and eat the wonderful Japanese breakfasts were a highlight of our trip. While the location is residential, it is within easy reach of transport links (5 minute walk to the closest bus stop), convenience stores, and restaurants. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend a stay here, and would love to visit again! Thank you, Hiro!

Fantastic stay in Kyoto

This guesthouse was as great as all the other reviews said. Hiro-san, the owner, met us on arrival, explained patiently everything and was extremely helpful to recommend restaurants, etc. The property is clean, beautiful with a lot of thought for detail and comfort. It has very modern equipment, a beautiful private Japanese bath on the terrace which was great after lots of walking around in Kyoto. It is located in a more residential area, but there is a bus stop a few minutes away, so getting to places was not difficult. We appreciated that it was a bit away from the crowds. There were restaurants and shops in the area. We liked our Japanese breakfasts as well. Truly, it was a gem.

Hiro was kind, welcoming, and made our stay that more memorable. We highly recommend staying here.

We wanted to stay in an authentic Japanese house, and this was an antique home with all modern updates - there was nothing to be improved. The outdoor onsen was perfect way to relax after a busy day of traveling/sightseeing.
