I can’t say enough good things about this stay! Firstly, this exceptional stay is 100% down to the most kind and welcoming hosts. The couple who run this inn have helped us the whole time during our stay and been the most accommodating, I’m very grateful to have found this place. The room itself is very cosy and clean. The location is very central, everything was within 15mins walk or bus. Would recommend packing light as there are only stairs, but the hosts very kindly helped us with our luggage.

Excellent, kind, and helpful host. Emiko and her family had great English and the inn was very welcoming and comfortable. I was even driven to Kyoto station once my stay was complete which was a great help. Excellent value for money and a ideal location to see many nearby temples and shrines. Lots of nature sightseeing opportunities close by as well. I highly recommend a stay at Kyo-Anthu Inn!

No matter what accommodation I stay at, I always feel like I enjoyed staying at hostels the most or for this case "Machiya", a wooden townhouse stay! The warm feeling if meeting people and talking to hosts is always irreplaceable for me to bring back memories from my travels. Toni and Ikumi were such great host that I had fun being there. Not only that the interior was so aesthetic and practical. Recommend anyone who wants to drop by Kyoto and try to at least have their stay there! Awesome breakfast as well and convenient to travel to sightseeings spots and access to convenience stores! I took the single room because I only stayed one day and boy the futon was so comfortable, I just to sleep more!

Everything was great. The shared living room may be a little small but the bedroom was big enough and comfortable for two people. The bed and blanket were clean and very comfy. They even had a foot massage machine. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. They could recommend some nice places to visit and the place was close to a famous market. I will definitely stay here if I go to Kyoto again!
