Attractive old Japan style house

It was a traditional house, but renovated new all so we had comportable and great time in there. Manager speaks English very well and he is kind. Location was nice, we can feel cozy old Japan. I recommend here without hesitation!

This is an incredible property. It's beautiful, backs onto the canal, and easy to get to Gion and other areas of Kyoto. Couldn't recommend it enough.

This was an exceptional experience, we loved our stay. The location just 5 mins walk from the main part of Gion is perfect, and its position on the side of the river with the view of the big traditional gates from the window is amazing. There are so many dining options nearby, and it’s only a 5 min walk to the metro, so easy to get everywhere. The apartment itself is stunning, Japanese style but very modern and well looked after. It was perfect for 2 couples, with the western style bedroom upstairs, and Japanese futon style bedroom downstairs. We used the kitchen every morning, and the living room was a great place to relax in the afternoon - especially on the air conditioning! Note that there’s only one bathroom and toilet though. Our host, Ryosuke, was so lovely and took lots of time to tell us about the apartment and local area, then he emailed us with restaurant and tourist suggestions. Couldn't imagine a better place to stay in Kyoto - we will be back!

清潔感あふれる気持ちのいいお部屋でした。 ただ、玄関が透明ガラスに暖簾だけで、外から丸見えです。 トイレに行くのも、寝巻きでキッチンに行くのも、とても落ち着かない感じでした。防犯上も、あの玄関はどうかと思います。

本当は教えたくないのですが・・・

暮らすように旅する京都を満喫できるお宿です。 祇園も徒歩圏ですのでフットワーク軽く食事も楽しむことができますが、 白川を望む和室で地酒をいただきながらのんびり過ごすのもお勧め！ 大人4名でも十分な広さで、 加えて食器類まで整えられたミニキッチン、 ドラム式洗濯機があり、何不自由なく快適に過ごすことができました。 ちなみにお手洗いは1つです。 次のお宿もこちらに決定です。
