The guest house comes with a flat-screen TV. The property offers city views.

Sanjusangen-do Temple is 1.6 km from the guest house, while Shoren-in Temple is 1.2 km away. Itami Airport is 46 km from the property. The host is incredible. She went above and beyond and is absolutely delightful. Great value for money as well. The room was pleasant with enough space, and the futons and pillows were soft. The location is right next to Kiyomizudera with Gion and several other temples in walking distance. I have nothing negative to say about this booking
