It's a great locating in a quiet street. The guesthouse itself is so warm and cozy, and the ability to have a private bathroom in a traditionally laid out inn was great.

It was actually rather larger for what we have been used to in Japan. The fact there is everything you need, the washing machine a huge plus in summer and close to the stations. Honestly, I would stay here again in a heartbeat! Also super quiet and felt extremely safe.

This was a really sweet property, it felt special to be able to stay in a more “authentic” property and the location was also great for what we wanted to do in Kyoto. It was clean and well appointed, we really enjoyed our stay!

The beds were furnished with a mirror, shelves, clothing rack and a foldable table. These were very useful. The bathroom is also connected with the bedroom (which is different to a lot of other dorm style accommodation I've been to that have a bathroom shared among all people) so it was easily accessible and only the people in the dorm could access it. The free washing machine was also a bonus. Everything was also very clean. Jun-san was also super helpful and always readily available if you had any questions!
