The place is well located, the room is relatively reasonable in size, the place is comfortable. , the owner of the place, in addition to being a wonderful person, goes out of his way to make the guest feel good and comfortable. He helps in everything he can to the point that when we leaving the hotel he offered to take us to the train station in his car. You get everything you need at the desk without any restrictions. You won't get that in a 5-star hotel either. Full value

I really enjoyed my stay here! Location is in a residential area, making it a quiet respite after a whole day of sightseeing, while still being conveniently close to the center. Breakfast was also tasty and kindly brought into the room daily. Emiko-san and her family were very welcoming and accommodating. She even gave me a ride to Kyoto Station on my last day and always checked on me daily to see how I was. Very kind family. I would definitely stay here again on my next visit!

It was actually rather larger for what we have been used to in Japan. The fact there is everything you need, the washing machine a huge plus in summer and close to the stations. Honestly, I would stay here again in a heartbeat! Also super quiet and felt extremely safe.
