The home is ideal in all ways possible, including comfort, esthetic appeal, and location. While in main part of the house, all the back side looks out on to a lush forested hillside, making it feel like you are in a tree house - making for a peaceful retreat in a dynamic city. Location is enhanced by being steps away from all major bus lines directly connecting you to all the major attractions of the city. Could not have asked for better hosts; proactive, communicative, generous (i.e., made multiple bicycles available), and sharing insights in to all the local resources (i.e., markets, coffee shops, restaurants, etc. ). This is a special place; already planning to return next year! ##### Jen A. Stayed 28 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David B. 9 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Modern House and Amazing Hosts We stayed at this property in Kyoto for over a month with our family, and it was a wonderful experience.The house is truly unique in several ways. Unlike many traditional homes in Kyoto, this one is modern, spacious, and features a pleasant green area toward the back, which brings a refreshing touch of nature — a rare combination in the city. One standout feature is the private parking space, which was incredibly convenient, especially given how difficult it can be to find parking in Kyoto.The location is quiet and residential, ideal for a longer stay, while still being close enough to shops, tourist spots and public transport. The home was well-equipped for our family’s needs and made for a very comfortable base to explore Kyoto.The hosts were extremely professional and responsive. For example, when we noticed a minor leak, they addressed it immediately and had it resolved fast.We would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking for a stylish and practical house in Kyoto. Would certainly come back. ##### David B.
