I loved everything about this accommodation. Starting from Kevin who was an amazing host, welcoming, kind and helped us with a lot of staff. Thank you! I really liked our room with a traditional atmosphere and I was surprised by how spacious and clean it was. The hotel has an elevator and is located in a charming, quiet neighbourhood. Only 20 minutes on foot from the Kyoto Station and the same distance from Gion district. Thank you for having us, definitely will visit next time!

Very clean, cozy and comfortable place. The hosts always made sure we had mineral water in our room, and new towels everyday, even if we never asked for it.

Haruka was an awesome host. She looked after us every day making sure we had everything we needed. She was very kind and helped me when I needed to see a doctor. This place is the best place to stay in Kyoto. Haruka and her husband were very kind.

Our recent stay at this charming inn in Kyoto was nothing short of delightful. From the moment we arrived, it felt like a home away from home. The warmth and hospitality of the hosts made our experience truly exceptional. Not only were they incredibly welcoming, but they also went out of their way to ensure our comfort throughout our stay. The inn’s location couldn’t have been better. Situated in close proximity to the subway, it made exploring Kyoto’s treasures a breeze. We appreciated the convenience of being able to easily access the city’s attractions while still enjoying a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere. All in all, our stay here was a perfect blend of comfort, hospitality, and convenience. We can’t recommend this place enough and look forward to returning in the future. Thank you for making our time in Kyoto so special! 😊🏯 🌸
