Hi, I’m Oneway! I’ve been living in beautiful Kyoto for 20 years now. I love creating cozy spaces — sometimes just changing a corner of the room can give it a whole new feeling! I also enjoy exploring Kyoto’s hidden spots, always looking for delicious food and local gems. Lately, I found a tiny takoyaki place hidden in the backstreets of Gion, and a lovely secret spot along the Philosopher’s Path where the seasonal flowers are breathtaking. I became a host because I want travelers to feel at home while discovering Kyoto — not only its famous temples and shrines, but also the peaceful, everyday charm of living here. I hope to help you experience the warm and relaxed side of Kyoto that locals enjoy. Looking forward to welcoming you and helping you create your own special Kyoto memories!

This cozy house is tucked away in a quiet street of Kyoto’s Minami Ward — conveniently located yet peaceful, making it the perfect base for exploring the city. We take great care of this home, and from its layout to the smallest details, everything is designed with warmth and thoughtfulness for travelers. Wooden floors paired with bright natural light create a clean, welcoming space that feels both relaxing and homely. The house features a traditional Japanese tatami room with futon bedding — ideal for families, friends, or couples. Wake up to gentle sunlight in the morning, and rest at night in the comfort of soft futons — a quiet happiness that only Kyoto can offer. The kitchen is fully equipped with an induction stove, refrigerator, microwave, and kettle, perfect for preparing a simple meal or brewing a pot of tea to enjoy by the dining table as sunlight streams in. A washing machine and complete bathroom facilities are also provided, making it especially suitable for medium- to long-term stays. 🚉 About a 10-minute walk from JR Kyoto Station, with easy access to the subway, JR lines, and Shinkansen. 🚶‍♀️ Walking distance to popular spots such as Tō-ji Temple, Kyoto Tower, Aeon Mall, and the historic Nintendo headquarters. The neighborhood is a genuine residential area, free from the noise of sightseeing crowds. At night, the quiet is so deep you can almost hear the wind — a glimpse of Kyoto’s serene everyday life. This is a humble, unpretentious home — yet warm and reassuring. We hope that here, you can forget the rush of time, truly relax, and experience your own “Kyoto daily life.” Welcome home.
