Friendly clean property with delicious Japanese breakfast. The kids also loved it. Room was a good size for all 4 of us. The owners were fantastic, giving us great advice on travelling around Kyoto with the kids, great restaurant recommendations and advice on attractions. The kids loved their Doraemon gift, so very kind thank you!

great location! About 5 minutes walk to tsujiki market, train station and bus stops. Walking distance from several famous shrines and temples, and a lot of local eateries within walking distance as well. Great beer just down the road too. Host is extremely helpful, friendly, and responsive even late at night. Was extremely lucky to get a room here during peak season considering they have a total of only four rooms. Rooms here are also more spacious than many hotels I've stayed at in kyoto and Japan in general. Will definitely come back!

The hosts were so kind, and had such great eye for detail. From the bathroom slippers that they gave to us to the help we received when booking a rental bike - they did everything and so much more! They even gave us a lift to the station, which was very appreciated. Arigatou gozaimasu!

Was very spacious for our family of 5. Had everything we needed. Short walk to a Metro station and bus stop - so easy to get around. Nice and clean. Staff were lovely and they were happy to store our luggage on checkout day as we had things booked in before our train out of Kyoto. Would definitely book this again if I travel back to Kyoto.
