The location is perfect. Only 3 minutes walk to Kiyamachi dori, a old street along the Takase river, which is a famous location for Sakura viewing if you visit Japan by April. The hotel is by far my most favourite hotel in Japan. It feels like home. The room is spacious and comfort.

Amazing stray. Super clean, nice location, staff is super kind and the place itself is very aesthetically pleasing. The breakfast was super good (both the western and japanese one) and each food was prepared with so much care and attention to detail.

Haruka-san is a very welcoming person and is always there if you need anything. Staying here truly feels like living in Japan, not just like staying in a hotel. If you want to avoid crowded places while still having good connections, this is the perfect place to be.

It is friendly, cosy, very helpful staffs. We are very satisfied with the apartment. It is located in a quiet street with traditional houses, but also very convenient. The apartment is spacious. For improvement, we suggest to have a mirror outside the bathroom too.

Everything was great. The shared living room may be a little small but the bedroom was big enough and comfortable for two people. The bed and blanket were clean and very comfy. They even had a foot massage machine. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. They could recommend some nice places to visit and the place was close to a famous market. I will definitely stay here if I go to Kyoto again!

It’s in a quite area where you can reach there by bus only. Bus runs very frequently but it takes 1 hour to go to city. There are markets and restaurants. Some close early. Closest pub is 15 min by walk. Room is super cozy, they offer free bikes. There is venting machine outside.
