This place was amazing, we loved that the rooms are very Japanese style, clean and the beds are comfortable. The host Kevin was extremely nice and kind. Prior to our arrival I asked the hotel if they could put some bday note for my husband since it was his birthday, and they went above and beyond, they put bday notes all over the room and even had a delicious cake for us! Also, Kevin gave us different options of events that we could attend and even offer a ride to the train station when we checked out. Definitely this was one our favorites places that we stayed in our trip around Japan. I can’t recommend enough! Thank you so much Kevin!!

Kayoko is a perfect and always smiling host. She goes out of her way to make your stay as pleasant as possible. Breakfasts are simply amazing. Every morning there is a different menu composed from local specialities. Location of the guest house is also a benefit - very close to both Nijo Castle and Imperial Palace.

It’s in a quite area where you can reach there by bus only. Bus runs very frequently but it takes 1 hour to go to city. There are markets and restaurants. Some close early. Closest pub is 15 min by walk. Room is super cozy, they offer free bikes. There is venting machine outside.

The atmosphere felt like a real traditional japanese home, in this quiet neighborhood one can get immersed with the locals. Onsen directly on the corner, ticket is included with the booking.

Quaint, clean and as expected for a humble Japanese homestay. The host was exceptionally helpful and sweet and offered local recommendations and shopping tips. They are right next door to a bicycle rental and I took full advantage and biked all over Kyoto. 7 mins walk away is the underground food mall. Having a laundry machine came in handy! It was air dry only during the time I was there and my clothes dried overnight.

Super great hosts! Nicest and most lovely person I’ve met in Japan. The house is super clean, nice and warm atmosphere and the other guest were also very nice. The talkings at the breakfast table were one of the highlights.

Katsura-san is a great host and we had a fantastic time during our stay. Location is super close to Nijo-Jo castle, several fancy restaurants and walking distance to subway. The apartment was super clean, had all the facilities required and Katsura-san spend a long time chatting with us and making our stay wonderful.

Mr and Mrs Li are super great hosts, the best I have ever seen so far in all my travels. Everything was thought of (I mean everything u would need while traveling, it felt like staying at a good friend’s place. The beds were confortable and the kitchen was well equipped, the Japanese shower and bath was great !), they even gladly showed us around in the city and gave valuable recommendations for Sakura season.
