Guest Reviews

• Rémy (10/5): Maison traditionelle proche du centre parfait pour decouvrir la ville. - Maison idéalement placé, au calme mais a proximité direct du centre. Espace nuit très confortable. Cuisine très bien équipé. Le personnelle sur place est très gentil et accueillant. Nous reviendrons sans hésiter dés que possible.
• Justas (10/5): Great stay at a traditional Japanese house in a very convenient location in Kyoto - It looks even better in reality than in photos, Keiko greeted us at the house and welcomed us with open arms! Location was great, house has everything that you could need, cleaner came daily, we enjoyed our stay from beginning to the end! There were a lot of sticky notes around the house saying things we shouldn’t do. While we understand there are some rules and that we were staying in a quiet neighbourhood with thin walled houses, this could be presented a little bit better!
• Oanh (9/5): -
• Hilda (8/5): -
• SOMSAK (10/5): -
• Kevin (8/5): - nice staff, cleaned daily, and very accomodating
• MIAOYI (10/5): 今まで泊まった中で、一番良かったお宿です。 - 今まで泊まった中で、一番設備が充実しているお宿でした。必要なものはすべて揃っていて、この数日間、家族みんなでとても快適に楽しく過ごすことができました。 ホストの恵子さんもとても親切で、返信も早く、観光のおすすめもたくさん教えていただきました。お話も楽しくて、家族全員すっかり大好きになりました。 清掃の方もとても丁寧で、隅々まできれいにされていて安心して過ごせました。 恵子さんのおすすめで御所の糸桜を見に行きましたが、本当に素晴らしくて行ってよかったです。 階段は少し急ですが、2階にもトイレがあるので夜も安心でした。 お布団もふかふかで、よく眠れました。 また機会があれば、ぜひ利用させていただきたいです。 特に改善してほしい点はありません。このお宿自体はとても素晴らしいです。 あえて言うと、周辺の移動はバスが便利ですが、少し分かりにくいところもあるので、事前に調べておくと安心だと思います。 ただ、これはお宿とは関係のない点です。
• jolanta (10/5): Overall, it was an authentic experience where we felt like we were at home, thank you so much Keiko! - It was very clean, the host Keiko was very attentive, super friendly and kind. We were able to sleep on traditional futon beds + tatami mats which was extremely comfortable. The house is equipped with all the amenities you could possibly need during your stay, it was amazing! The location is great, in a quiet authentic area of kyoto. Nothing, it was perfect.
• QUN (10/5): -
• Sara (10/5): - La casa es totalmente tradicional pero está equipada con las comodidades de las casas modernas que hacen que la estancia sea muy cómoda. Aunque en la calle haga frío, dentro de la casa no. Los futones son muy cómodos y calentitos y al estar situada en una calle tranquila, no hay ruido y se duerme muy bien.
• Leonor (10/5): Felt like a local! - Cozy, clean!
• LJ Sun (10/5): - 民宿位置非常好，交通出行非常方便。有很多车站。房主Keiko非常热情，有求必应，对民宿和客人都非常负责。我们五个人住在这里很宽敞。有两个卫生间，对多人入住非常有用。
• laura (9/5): - We stayed in Kyoto for 10 days at Keiko's house. The house is in a fairly convenient location for reaching various tourist spots by both bus and taxi. The beds are very comfortable and the house is functional. Keiko was very supportive, both with suggestions for organizing our days and in accommodating our exhibition requests. Often in the evening she would come to visit us, always bringing a culinary gift, which was greatly appreciated. I will certainly stay with Keiko again the next time I am in Kyoto. Thank you, Keiko! Nothing.
• LINA YUSRINA (10/5): - The location is central. It has all the basic necessities and the owner is very helpful. Large futon beds. Good heating system. None
• shin (10/5): - とっても良かったんです、みんな大満足でした。
• Fran (9/5): Great house, great location and Keiko is a super host! - Keiko's place is great. Very well located, clean and secure. Keiko is very warm and friendly and she goes out of her way to make you feel at home. She met us at the door and let us in, showed us how everything worked and gave us information about Kyoto. Her quick correspondence whenever we needed anything was great. It was the first time in Japan we met a host as usually everything is done by a key code. It was really nice to have proper human interaction. One morning Keiko even left us with some grapes that she dropped over. We were able to leave our luggage for a the day on the day of check out. I don't have any complaints. I would point out that the sleeping area is upstairs so make sure you are capable of climbing stairs. The downstairs living area is cosy however we were always out for from after breakfast til late so it made no difference to us. This is not a complaint but rather advising if you wanted more space to hang around in it may be tight. We were 3 adults and 2 kids.
• Huyen (10/5): Great choice for family - - the location is great, it has everything around - very welcoming and informative host
• Vittorio (10/5): The stay was great and the staff was available for anything, perfect and I recommend it to anyone planning to go to Kyot - The structure was in the middle of Kyoto so perfect to go and see any place
• amobylette (10/5): Fantastique logement - Une belle maison traditionnelle en plein centre de Kyoto. Très pratique d'accès.calme et bien entretenu. La propriétaire est charmante.
• Hui Yin (8/5): - Location is really good and host is very helpful.
• Jeremie (10/5): Je recommande - Keiko est une hôte très gentille et attentionnée. Elle se plie en 4 pour vous. Le logement qu'elle loue, est son ancienne maison. Nous avons vraiment apprécié nos échanges avec elle. Le logement est grand et à tout le confort qu'il faut. Le tout très propre. L'emplacement est très bien. Je recommande pour une expérience locale
• Klára (10/5): Keiko san was an excellent host, helpful and caring. Gave us great tips and the house was ideal for the 4 of us. The kit -
• Rolandas (9/5): Superb - It was an authentic experience in Kyoto, really recommended!
• Koay (10/5): Exceptional -
• Miroslav (10/5): Exceptional - Nowadays when accommodation process is usually fully automated without meeting with the locals, this is quite a unique occasion. Keiko was super helpfull and made our stay particularly enjoyable.
• Pei (9/5): memorable - japanese traditional hourse type
• Michael (10/5): Clean, warm and convenient traditional Japanese home with a very friendly owner - If you want to experience a traditional Japanese home, this is it. When we arrived at night by taxi, Keiko the owner was already waiting for us. She made chestnut rice in case we hadn't eaten, which we hadn't (delayed flight). We got whole house to ourselves. House is 2 stories. Downstair - living room, kitchen, bathroom w/ shower, changing room, separate toilet, washing machine outside kitchen. Upstair - 3 tatami bedrooms, small toilet, balcony for hang-drying clothes. Living room has traditional Japanese decor. Well stocked - pots, pans, utensils, fridge, microwave, rice-cooker (rice is free), electric water boiler, knives, scissors, shampoo, body wash, hairdryer. Everything is clean + well maintained. Shower has good water pressure. Bathtub is a little deep to step down so we didn't try. Washing machine is clean. JPY100 per wash. Keiko left JPY100 coins for us. Free detergent. We hang-dried clothes in changing room or balcony - hangers provided. Drying rack in Reception room. Takes 24 hrs to dry in mid-Oct, when it wasn't raining much. AC in house has dehumidifier function that helps for drying inside. Both toilets upstair + downstair are very clean. Bedrooms upstair have tatami mats, mattresses, silk comforters (all traditional Japanese). Easily sleeps 6 people upstair. Umbrellas are available to borrow. (The stair to upstair is quite steep, so it may be difficult for folks with mobility issues.) Appliances in Japan show Japanese only - Keiko puts English translations stickers on main buttons. House is convenient, licensed by government. Neighborhood is quiet + safe. Close to train station for Arashiyama. Close to bus stations to Kiyomizu + Kyoto station. 7-11, Family Mart, Fresco supermarket, eateries are within 5 min walk. We were happy to spend 5 days in Kyoto in this traditional home. Much better than staying in a hotel room. Thank you, Keiko, for the hospitality and always quick responses to our questions. Everything was wonderful.
• Alexander (10/5): excellent location for exploring Kyoto - rent your own little japanese city-house for a couple of days. It is fully equiped, very clean and tidy, staff is there regularly and nearby and very helpful. Very nice place to get a glimpse of japanese everyday life. Public transport is easy and very nearby, we used a typical map-app to guide us for itineraries. Konbinis and grocery store also nearby. Just as a fact, it is a small house in a japanese city center, don't expect a balcony with view.
• Thuy (10/5): We are a group of 3 friends travelling to Kyoto. This place exceeded all of our expectation!! The place is spotless and - Really good location and super nice host Nothing
• Yanqun (10/5): Keiko is very warm and enthusiastic, because there are too many wonderful things to mention, All in all, thank you very - everything is clean and in order
• Mei (8/5): Very good - We had the whole house to ourself. Nothing
• Rioghain (10/5): Exceptional - Keiko was the most amazing host. She was so kind, funny and informative. She gave us excellent advice on where and when to go to different tourist spots in Kyoto. She was also just a wonderful and charming person who we loved talking with. She has created the most beautiful property to stay in, filled with Japanese culture. The origami figures, the decorative table top statues, the gorgeous alter-like area in the biggest room. The house was a treasure-trove of things to look at. The facilities were great too. A spacious kitchen, full sized fridge, two toilets, lots of books in English and Japanese, some very-needed umbrellas, and 3 separate bedrooms with the comfiest futons, even for my parents who were in their 60's. The location was great too, a little bit out from the touristy part of town meanwhile being on a main road with several bus options which were very regular. We were close to a street with some excellent restaurants, a post office and laundry too which came in very handy. Highly recommend! Nothing, we loved it and hope that others get to experience it too!
• To (8/5): Very good -
• Benjamin (10/5): It's a comfortable and cozy stay in traditional style house a good location in Kyoto. - The futons were high quality and it was comfortable to sleep in. The house is decorated in a homely way with little fun trinkets. The owner is also very friendly.
• Chia-jen (10/5): Exceptional - The warm welcome from the host. Every famous places explained and how to get there.
• Jonathan (10/5): Excellent value for authentic experience. - Very well located guesthouse (close to Shijo-Omiya station). The host was exceptional. Renting the full accommodation provided us with quiet and all the amenities (kitchen, bath, laundry, etc.) We did not have time to book a tour with the host, but would do so without hesitation on a future trip.
• Lily (10/5): A lovely opportunity to stay in a Japanese house - It was very nice to have to opportunity to stay in a traditional Japanese house.

• iniche (6/5): 友人の実家へ泊まったような、、、 - 中３の息子と夫婦３名で移動中に急遽１泊しました。 オーナーは親切で、施設も清潔で特に問題はありません。 ただ、あまりにも普通の民家の為、隣の部屋とふすまで隔てられていただけで 隣の部屋の会話がすべて聞こえ、かなり気を使いました。 立地場所や時期を考えると安いとは思いますが、 親子３人でちょっとリラックスできなかった一夜でした。 寝てしまえば近隣は静かで熟睡しましたが。
• Gunnar (6/5): Litet traditionellt japanskt - Mycket kallt i rummet
• Hoying (10/5): 很有愛的地方 - 屋主真很友善的！我們新年時候去還爲我們準備了新年食物， 還教我地坐車又介紹很多日本文化給我們認識 真的是一間超級有愛的guest house 還有去巴士站跟列車都超級方便 第一天我們不懂路屋主還出來找我們～很感動！！屋內的擺設都很細緻和漂亮 很有日本風味！ 睡的被子又很暖 讓我們睡了個跨年呢
• Lian Choo (10/5): Homely accommodation with excellent facilities - Host was very warm and friendly. We were able to use the kitchen to prepare meals using the ingredients from nearby supermarket. Room cleanliness is top notch.
