We liked the hospitality of the owners. It’s an historic old house with charm. The common room is a beautiful place. The bathroom is new, clean and spacious (whereas in an old building).

Very nice inn, run by a caring and helpful couple. The place is charming, well-equipped, in a very pleasant neighborhood with everything you need (subway, restaurants, shops, etc.). Perfect.

Cosy, tidy and the owners are so lovely! It’s in a great location..close to train station, shops, nishiki market etc… They even gave us a hand drawn map of the places to eat in the area. Overall we absolutely loved our stay here and would love to come back in the future

This was the best accomodation we stayed at on our whole trip through Japan! Taka and Yuka are so kind, helpful and the best hosts! The whole building has a traditional charm, and we instantly felt comfortable and at home. The room is simple but lovely, and we enjoyed the traditional experience of sleeping on the floor which was also very comfortable. The bathroom was very clean and the shower was the best we’ve ever had. There are also all the amenities you need - a cozy communal lounge/dining space where you can enjoy a cup of tea or make a simple meal for yourself (although you probably won’t need to cook as there are so many affordable and delicious food options around). Highly recommend! Thank you Taka and Yuka for a wonderful stay - we hope to be back soon :)

It could Not have been better

Our stay at Taka and Yuka's home was wonderful. The room was extremely comfortable, and we slept very well. Everything was spotless, and the traditional Japanese house created a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. They provided great recommendations for things to do in the area, many of which we tried and really enjoyed. We would definitely stay again! Thank you for everything!

Lovely Japanese style guesthouse. You stay in a traditional style room with a newly renovated bathroom. The owners are lovely people who made us feel really welcome. It is located in an arcade with little restaurants and convenience stores close by. You can even rent bikes but be careful in the Japanese summer heat!

This is a wonderful little inn at a great location in Kyoto. Our room was very comfortable and spotlessly clean, and the owners, Taka and Yuka, were very friendly and kind. We have enjoyed our stay very much and wouldn’t want to stay anywhere else in Kyoto.

The location is great! You can walk to a lot of the landmarks or take the subway next to it, yet it’s located in a non-busy area so you don’t have to deal with the crowds. The owners are amazing and super friendly. They are very welcoming! We will definitely come back.

Hidden in a lane way next to the subway station, this place is a real gem. It is a short subway trip from Kyoto station so easy to access. We had a downstairs room which has its own private garden which was very nice. The room is traditional Japanese room and has everything you need. Not heaps of room so don’t bring your big suitcases 😀. Yuka was our host and she was amazing. Very friendly and super helpful. She speaks very good English. So I would absolutely recommend this place if you are looking for somewhere to stay in Kyoto.

Super helpful host and English is very good! He gave us all good bakery and food recos! Our room has little garden, automatic toilet and shower with complete amenities (shower gel, fresh towels, shampoo, warm water). The floor mattresses are comfortable! It is tatami room so it feels so traditonal! The location is central, walking distance to Yasaka Shrine (less 10min) and Kiyomizu Dera where we rented Kimono from, can take the bus to Gion. We found a nearby hidden gem which is the Gyobashi bridge by shirakawa river.

There is a really wonderful couple that runs the inn and they are super welcoming and happy to help make your trip better with suggestions. Everything is very clean and staying here is like being in a traditional Japanese house but with a modern Japanese bathroom adjoined to each room. Lovely little garden and traditional style common living dining kitchen area. I'll definitely stay here the best time I'm in Kyoto!

I’m grateful I came to Kyoto with just a tote bag and a backpack and had my suitcase shipped to our next location. My spouse brought his carry on suitcase and a backpack and he was very careful to not roll it onto the super clean tatami. The room is small and so don’t expect to be able to explode out! The house is more than a century old. Also, I think the bathroom could use hooks or a second towel bar to the left of the sink.

The architecture is beautiful and clean. The location is fabulous: it’s quiet even though it’s on a shopping arcade. The street comprises of residences, local shops open from 10am to I think 6 or 7pm, and a couple other inns without feeling touristy. It’s not at all like the overly tourist places near Kiyomizu temple. The street is a small pedestrian street and the main thoroughfare is very accessible by bus and subway. The mochi place around the corner on the other side of the canal is amazing!!!! The garden is private and so you can keep the screens open and wake up to sunrise. The futons are super comfortable and I slept deeply every night

Absolutely charming! Taka and Yuka's cozy guesthouse is a tranquil haven. The Japanese-style rooms exude warmth and authenticity, offering a serene retreat. The attention to detail is remarkable, from the traditional décor to the impeccable service. Staying here feels like a genuine immersion into Japanese hospitality. Highly recommended for an unforgettable and delightful experience

Everything. The room is so comfortable, especially with the en-suite bathroom that is brand new. Taka & Yuka are so kind and friendly and helpful. The location is excellent, in a cute little street with bars and restaurants and close to the main areas. We could only stay 2 nights but would have loved to stay longer!

The only issue would be the stairs - they're fairly steep - but it's miniscule in comparison to everything being homey and comfy. Some doorways can be kind of low too so be aware if you're about 170cm and taller ! :D

We loved this stay, absolutely the best of our trip. The owners were so generous and understanding, and there were only a few other guests so no noisy disruptions ! The bikes were fantastic especially for exploring Kyoto and giving our feet a break from walking. Perfect location, perfect hosts, perfect facilities and spaces, perfect privacy ~(˘▾˘~) Absolutely will return when we're back in Tokyo !

That I had to leave ;-)

Extremely cosy place and wonderful helpful and interested owners. Great location too, close to subway and close to beautiful surroundings. Amazing bathroom facilities, and the room is just Japanese fairytale, with the little private garden and all. In many ryokans the futon beds are very thin, but here the futon has got extra cushioning so the futons are nice and soft. Overall, my son and I had a wonderful stay! Thank you Taka and Yuka!!
