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.

Big bed, the biggest bed we had in our Japan stays. The bathroom was also very spacious. The apartment was clean and the area very quiet.

We had a perfect stay at Haruka House. We had everything we needed. Cleanliness 100% Haruka and Ryoma are so kind and welcoming, which made us feel at home right away. Location is also very convenient with Restaurants and Mini-Marts nearby and also the Hankyo Line within walking distance. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you for everything!!

The staff explained the details of the stay in detail. There is an exclusive parking space, but you need to pay for it, but the price is reasonable. There is an elevator, which is very convenient. There is also a free game console at the elevator entrance. The room is clean, with a washing machine, and there are many clothes drying racks. There is also a balcony for drying clothes. For us, it is a very good accommodation experience.

Amazing location, in Gion, close to transportation but also very quiet with lots of great restaurants. We stayed in villa 1 with a deep ceramic bath. The Machiya is well stocked with a simple kitchen and microwave for breakfast. Love the little walk down to Tatsumi bridge and river (less than 100m) Familymart is 100m away and laundry service 2min walk. Staff were lovely and easy to communicate with. Highly recommend this place.

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!
