“A beautiful traditional japanese experience”
We liked that it was a traditional house but with modern amenities, in a very quiet neighborhood. Very clean, very nice decoration. It had air conditioned but also heating on the floor that we used one time. We even had a rustic small garden were we had tea or coffee. There was a tatami but we slept on mattress. To get to the public transport takes about 15 minutes, but we liked to walk and watch the narrow streets. There are buses and it is also the metro station, some shops , some little restaurants- japanese, korean. We took breakfast at home and dinner in town, every day. So I think it is the perfect choice for somebody who likes a quiet traditional place, likes to feel more at home than at the hotel, and doesn't mind walking, even with the luggage. You absolutely need a socket adaptor. They responded very quickly, we communicated well in written English but the lady doesn't speak English.

“A lovely place to stay in a wonderful city”
Ken Kun House was in a fantastic location, close to beautiful Parks, Temples and Shrines. It had everything that was needed for the two of us. The information that we received was very accurate and made our check in very smooth.

If you're looking for the authentic Kyoto Japanese style living, this is the place to be. I particularly enjoyed the small center courtyard where I spend time reading everyday. The neighborhood is lovely and safe. Every amenity is just steps away. If you can ride a bike everywhere, it'll be even nicer.

“Incredible place to stay in Kyoto!”
We absolutely loved this place. It's stunning and taken care of to the minimum detail. Ken Kun House is not only beautiful but also very comfortable. The kitchen has everything you need and more and the beds are super comfortable. I would come back again for sure, actually, I wish I could live there! The house is also very easy to reach by public transport, we took the bus every day. There are delicious bakeries in the area and supermarkets!
