Kayoko was a very welcoming host which made our stay so enjoyable! She prepared beautiful traditional breakfasts for us, catering to dietary requirements and using fresh produce. She also left yummy tea and an afternoon snack for us upon the return of busy days exploring. The room was spacious and cozy, and not too far from Gion district. We loved our stay and can’t wait to return one day!
