Kyoan Shion

Easy access to public transportation & clean rooms

This stay was absolutely perfect for our family of six (three adults, two teens, and a child). The space had everything we needed—comfortable beds and plenty of towels for everyone, excellent air conditioning (important for our summer trip), and a fantastic location that was peaceful yet conveniently close to public transport, restaurants, and shops. We were personally welcomed by a staff member and provided with clear written instructions, which made settling in easy. The kitchen was well-equipped and allowed us to prepare breakfast each morning during our three-day stay. What stood out the most was how well the host cares for this home—it’s clearly loved and thoughtfully shared, not just a generic rental run by a management company. My advice to future guests: treat this beautiful place with the same care and respect so others can enjoy it just as much.

I honestly don’t have anything negative to say, but just a few notes to help set expectations: First, the stairs are quite steep, so it’s something to keep in mind if you’re traveling with toddlers, large suitcases, or anyone who may have mobility issues. Second, the washer/dryer is on the smaller side—it works fine for light loads, but don’t count on it for larger laundry or quick drying. Lastly, while we didn’t have a car, it’s worth noting that parking in the area appears limited, so it might be something to consider if you’re driving.

Getting picked up by Nasuki, she's so lovely. Also the clear instructions to get to Toji Station. The close proximity to Toji Temple and shopping centre. Everything was great.

Messing up my dates and only staying 2 nights

The house was super cozy, well equiped. Akane, our contact upon arrival did everything to make us feel welcome and went far and beyond to send us recommendations about places to see and how to get around. They actually accommodated a last minute late check out with no fuzz, so it was definitely a great stay. Though is not the most central place, everywhere was 10/20 min by public transport. mini supermarkets/small restaurants in the main road There is an amazing temple just 10 min walk, beautifully illuminated at night, not to miss!

Nothing really, only that the closest tube was around 15 min walk.

the property was clean and tidy, had great facilities and very roomy,
