Wonderful Find

We had a great stay at the Kyoto Knot Vacation House. It's a very new place, recently renovated, so reviews are hard to find - but what a find! You get an entire house for the price of a hotel room, including kitchen and bath with washer/dryer, all done in a traditional Japanese style, with ryokan style bedding. Moe is a great hostess and communicator, and made checking in and out very easy. If you're only used to western-style beds and bathing, it may take some getting used to, but the Kyoto Knot is highly recommended.

Séjour exceptionnel

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans la maison traditionnelle japonaise de Moe. La maison est très bien situé, elle a été rénovée avec beaucoup de goût. Tout est très bien pensé et raffiné. Moe et son mari ont été très accueillants et nous ont donné beaucoup de conseils et d’adresses, pour Kyoto. Séjour exceptionnel !!!

My husband and I absolutely loved our stay at the Kyoto Knot Vacation House. It is a traditional Japanese-style home with Tatami flooring and super comfortable futons for sleeping. Before going to Japan, we thought all accommodations would be very small; however, after arriving in Kyoto, we were pleasantly surprised by the large size and great comfort of this house. The place is exactly the way it looks in the pictures, with a large kitchen fully equipped with everything we needed, a huge shower room and all the amenities, such as shampoo, conditioner, body wash, toothbrush, toothpaste, razors, facial cleanser, lotion, etc, as well as a separate room for toilet (Japanese style with heated toilet seat). It was incredible how much thought the host had put into planning everything for our stay at their house. We had absolutely everything we needed! The second floor of the house is also very large and roomy, with incredibly comfortable futons (Japanese style mattresses) where we slept like babies. There is also a western style living room with a couch (that folds out into a bed) and tv.The house was very quiet during our stay and we were super comfortable for the entire 4 days we spent there. The location is also great, as it is very close (about 10-12 minute walk) to the main Kyoto station (for Shinkansen, subway, and buses). Also, there is a bus stop right outside the house, which made it very convenient for us to get around.We highly recommend this house!

This house is absolutely beautiful and a very good merging of western and japanese style. It is newly renovated, with a lot of really nice details but also all the practical stuff you need, such as a well equipped kitchen and a washing machine. The owners are very friendly and helpful. The location is great; near to the Kyoto train Station and very near to some helpful bus stops. A super market and some small restaurants and cafés are close by. Besides, for Japan, the price is reasonable. Despite a steep stair, very good to stay with kids!

Beautiful home in a great neighborhood. Centrally located with convenient shops and restaurants nearby, and really close to the subway). It's family friendly (with laundry machines!) too.

Lovingly Restored Townhouse in Central Kyoto

Staying at Kyoto Knot is much more than a place to sleep at night - it's a complete experience with the feeling of living in your own Japanese style townhouse in Kyoto. This 100 year old home has been lovingly restored by the proprietors, who have a keen eye for tastefully blending Japanese and Western design. Much of the restoration work was done by their own hands and there's even an illustrative book there that you can flip through and see how they transformed the home. Besides being beautifully designed, the home was extremely clean and comfortable. The Japanese style futon was cushy and provided a great nights sleep. The bathroom was brand new and sparkling clean, and the kitchen provided all the amenities to prepare and plate meals. The tea and coffee service feature delicious local teas from the Kyoto area. For longer stays, the laundry machine comes in super handy. As far as location, it's well located half way between Kyoto station and downtown, and a short walk from the Gojo subway station. For those who enjoy walking, you can walk though the neighborhoods to and from Kyoto Station or the downtown Kawaramachi area and enjoy the local atmosphere mixed with traditional and modern buildings and local shops. There are a few convenient stores and a grocery store right around the corner from Knot, making it easy to pick food up and stock the fridge. But on top of all this, the kindness and warmth of the owners was what made the experience most memorable!

Really Nice Vacation House

I would highly recommend this vacation house. It includes kitchen,bath tube and a cutie yard. The facilities are recently renovated. You can get the entire house for the price. The host provided toothbrush, hair-dryer, shampoo, conditioner,towels and so on. All you need are provided by them. It is easy to check-in and the staff is really nice. The house is Japanese-style and very close to the subway station. We enjoyed our staying there. I would choose this vacation house if I went to Kyoto again. 强烈推荐这个日式度假屋，里面的设施都很新，有自动浴缸、马桶，两层带一个小庭院，楼上是榻榻米还有书房，住着非常舒适，房间也很大。电吹风，厨具，牙刷药膏，洗衣机，毛巾都是提供的，很贴心的还有卸妆油。地理位置离二条城地铁站非常近，出行很方便，员工人很好，英文沟通方便。感觉性价比很高。下次去京都，我还会住这里的~
