Jeugiya

It was an amazing and authentic stay.

The property was BEAUTIFUL! The house and gardens was private, and perfect for 2-4 people

Delicious traditional Japanese breakfast. Beautiful historic house in Kyoto antiques district. Right next to one of the lovely canals. The house opens onto a beautiful garden. Traditional Japanese tatami and furniture. Not an anonymous hotel/ apartment rental experience. The family that owns the guesthouse are very kind, helpful and on hand for help and recommendations. Beautiful wood ofuro bathtub and bathroom with views of the garden. Good AC for warm days. Truly an immersive experiences into a traditional Japanese house.

Property is beautiful, maintaining tradition while up to date with modern conveniences and amenities.

This was an amazing home. We did not want to leave. The service provided was beyond exceptional. We were welcomed with incredible hospitality and kindness. Highly recommended for those wanting to experience the true spirit of Japanese culture.

Jeugiya Inn is family owned and is operated Sei (father), Masumi (mother) and Bun (son). The area the where guests stay was built by Sei's father and was originally part of the family home. The accommodations are traditional, very clean, comfortable and visually pretty and tranquil. Viewing the garden area is so relaxing and so is taking a bath in their large wooden tub that looks out onto the garden. Each family member is beyond helpful and extremely hospitable! Sei gave us a personal tour around the area that lasted almost an hour. Masumi and Bun helped us coordinate a dinner reservation at Kagetsu, a traditional restaurant in Nagasaki who only accepts reservations by hotel concierges and in Japanese. Sei also drove us and our luggage to the train station and pointed out the elevator entrance that would be impossible to find if you weren't a local. Masumi prepared exquisite, traditional Japanese breakfasts that tasted great and had beautiful presentation. The location was in a quiet area but you could walk to numerous temples, shrines, restaurants and shopping areas. So convenient! I cannot recommend Jeugiya enough! Every aspect was a 10 out of 10! Things to be aware of... You are not given a key to your accommodations but the family is always around and you can communicate with them when you're coming and going. They always greeted us when we departed and returned. You need to remove your shoes in the front of the home and wear slippers in the rest of the home but you need to take the slippers off on the tatami mats. There are also different toilet area slippers. I'm sure most Japanese people are used to this but it took a bit of extra effort for my husband and myself, to remember this. The family lays out the traditional bedding in the evening and removes it during the day. Also, if you're over 5 ft 8 inches there's a good chance you'll hit your head on the doorways.

There was nothing we didn't like. Our stay was perfect!
