Kyo Obataya

We really liked the Japanese style room, every detail was taken care of, very clean and cozy. The hostess, Yoko, was super helpful and kind to us. She helped us with everything we needed. Delicious breakfasts. Close to bus stops to get around the city. We would definitely stay again.

We stayed in a cozy lovely room , it really felt like being at home. Yoko has been very helpful and welcoming, and has a lot of good advices for visiting Kyoto and cities around. The localization in Kyoto was convenient, with frequent buses to reach the main station and sightseeing sites. Thank you!

No complain at all.

Super nice host, Yoko is extremely helpful and nice. The room is comfortable and clean, the area is quiet and it's easy to get around the city by public transport from Yoko's guesthouse. The house has a very nice traditional Japanese vibe, great for guests who want to experience the traditional way of living.

All sightseeing areas are about 20-40min by bus, would have been nice to travel less. However, this also meant a quiet neighborhood, good sleep, and getting a peek of how locals live. Altogether, we didn't mind at all.

Everything! Yoko-san was a great host. No complaints at all. Will come again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for an excellent homestay.

This was an absolutely lovely stay near Nijo Castle. The host, Yoko, was wonderful and made sure our stay was exceptional. The rooms were spacious and clean. Would rebook with Yoko if we ever venture back to Kyoto.

Wonderful! From the beginning to the last moment. Yoko is extremely kind, the Japanese traditional house is wonderful and the breakfast is excellent. The place is silent and very near to the bus station. What can I say more? Thank you so much Yoko! Hoping to go back to your house!

Yoko is a wonderful host. She is a caring and loving person. The place is so comfortable. It is 20 minutes by bus from kyoto station. However, it is well connected to every turistic place. If you have the JR pass and want to travel by train from there , there is a train station a 15-minute walk from there, so there is no need to take the bus. Yoko suggested us awesome places to go, and we couldn't be more grateful as those places were absolutely amazing. She also looks after you they entire time. She will remain in our hearts 💕

We loved Yoko the host, she was so lovely and traditional! She was so helpful with everything! She knew Kyoto so well, and made us feel so at home! We loved the traditional matcha ceremony she did for us on the morning we left. We can’t wait to go back.

My wife and I loved everything about our stay at Kyo-Obataya! Yoko is such an amazing, attentive, and warm-hearted host - this definitely made our stay in Kyoto unforgettable! She gave us great tips for places where we could avoid the crowds (and that we absolutely loved) and helped us with all our needs..Thank you so much again Yoko, we loved chatting with you, and loved the matcha surprise before we left - hopefully we can be back soon!
