This house is super cute but very tiny. It is hard to find space for luggage and living when being 4 people. I would recommend this for two people only and during warmer weather since the toilet is outside and the bathroom and house is quite drafty. The staff at check in is so friendly but we actually ended up swapping hotel to keep kids happy and me warm. But great location to enjoy Kyoto!

Great home stay in Gion

Terrific house stay in Gion. Terrific location walking distance from many sites. House better than pictures. Be prepared for a compact stay (low ceilings and tight spaces) but that is all part of the authentic stay

Lovely stay

Love our stay. This little house is a perfect mix of modern and traditional. It is close to convenience stores and subway stations. Not too far away from the Gion main attractions as well.

As previous review by other guests, dust found on top of microwave and a night stand. Towels need to be replaced. The reception is in a different place which is quite far from the accommodation place. We were informed that there would be a staff who would accompany us to the accommodation place. But when we checked in, we were told that the person was on vacation and we had to go there by ourselves and what they could do was just calling a taxi for us. And the receptionist could not speak a single word of English. What a difficult communication! The location is wonderful though.

THE BEST LODGING IN GION!!!

THE BEST EXPERIENCE AND VALUE FOR YOUR MONEY in Kyoto!!! It was a beautifully renovated traditional style Kyoto lodging so accessible to everything near Gion and all the famous landmarks of Kyoto. You get to experience staying in the Kyoto style house - every detail was well thought out with modern convenience even in the toilet room outside on the veranda. Lighting was beautifully used everywhere even in a tiny garden. Everything was new and clean, modern in the inside and traditional on the outside. Efficient washer/dryer combo, rainfall shower AND a pot belly bath tub. You have both options for bedding - beds upstairs and futons downstairs on tatami. Best combination all around for a lodging in Kyoto. In a country where they charge for a room by the number of people, this place was so reasonable for a family of 4. Highly recommend it! P.S. LOVED the modern slippers with great arch support - we promptly ordered them on amazon.JP to bring them home!

The property looks exactly like the photos on the website, which is a nice little surprise. Very nice little traditional Japanese house. Location is great and you can walk the Gion neighbourhood whenever you like. You can walk to Yasaka Jinja and Shijo easily as well. The bus stop is only 100m away and Ninenzaka & Sannenzaka are only a few stops away. There is also a direct bus to Kinkakuji if you want to visit it. A couple of issues with the property. First, the check-in location is about 5km away from the property. We had to walk 15 min from the Kyoto station carrying all our luggage to get there after we arrived in Kyoto. There is a direct bus from the check-in location to the property but local buses don't allow large luggage and train station is quite far away, so we had to get a cab. So I would recommend check-in during your stay in Kyoto instead of on arrival. Second, you can tell the property wasn't thoroughly cleaned between guests. We found there's dust on the futons and bed sheets. There's also a yucky sock underneath the bed from a previous guest.

교토의 마치야를 깔끔히 개조한 곳으로 위치가 기온이나 히가시야마를 도보로 둘러보기에 아주 좋습니다. 다른 먼 곳으로 이동하기에도 버스정류장이 바로 앞에 있어서 아주 편했어요. 골목길 안쪽에 숙소가 위치해 있어서 소음도 들리지 않고, 1층과 2층이 분리되어 있어서 휴식과 수면을 공간 분리해서 이용할 수 있어 좋았어요. 아이와 함께 갔는데 아이가 2층으로 올라가는 걸 아주 좋아했습니다. 단지 신장 180cm가 넘는 가족은 공간과 공간 사이를 이동할 때마다 천장 구조물에 부딪히지 않도록 허리를 굽혀야 해서 조금 불편해했어요. 그것 외에는 관리자와 소통도 아주 원활히 잘 되었고, 많이 배려해주셔서 감사했습니다.
