Guest Reviews
- Shun (10/5): -
- philophileo (8/5): -
- Laurent (5/5): - Réceptionniste de garde qui est parti à notre arrivée ( tardive) et aucune âme dans ce Riokam assez cher pour la prestation. Chambre dépourvues de charme À ne pas retenir Aucune âme, peu confortable et très cher pour la prestation
- Petra (10/5): Die Atmosphäre in dem altjapanischen Haus mit dem sehr netten Concierge am Empfang, die Fahrräder , Minigarten im Eingan - Die Tatami-Zimmer und Einrichtung ließen an das alte Japan erinnern - es ist ein kleines einfaches Guest-Haus mit wenigen Zimmern und einer Gemeinschaftsküche und Wohnzimmer. Die Türen klemmten manchmal
- Judith (10/5): Traditional guest house - Very traditional, very good location and very friendly! Thank you for everything! Not much privacy, but that is normal for this kind of house.
- Daniela (10/5): Un lugar excelente, tranquilo y práctico - Lo que mas me gustó es la tranquilidad y lo acogedor del lugar, llegabamos muy cansados y los futones eran muy comodos. El personal muy amable siempre brindando ayuda. En el comedor compartido te dejan a disposición unos granos de cafe para que puedas moler y prepararte un cafe que eran excelentes. Tiene un 7-eleven y un supermercado a 4 cuadras y un lavadero a 7 cuadras. La parada del bus estaba a 2~3 cuadras lo cual fue estupendo para tomar autobuses para ir a lugares o para volver al alojamiento.
- Martina (9/5): - Situata in una zona tranquilla, lontana dal caos turistico ma perfettamente collegata con i mezzi pubblici. La camera è spaziosa, impeccabile nella pulizia e dotata di ogni comfort necessario per un soggiorno perfetto.
- Amance (10/5): Beautiful and quiet stay - Beautiful traditional house, well equipped, clean, very helpful staff, beautiful and quiet neighborhood. Nothing.
- Andreu (10/5): Rustica y con encanto. - Era como sentirse en el Japón antiguo y con comodidad. Sin duda si te hospedas en Kioto y te gustan los sitios antiguos pero con encanto, éste es tu sitio. Los onsen gratuitos se agradecen. No tenía metro cerca, pero había una parada de autobús al lado.
- Haruka (8/5): - 2回目の利用です。 とても快適に過ごす心意気が随所に散りばめられています。 タオルは各日変えていただきたいです。
- Eva (10/5): -
- Fernando (9/5): Viaggio solitaria Giappone 2026 - L'atmosfera e come il personale si è comportato nei miei riguardi. Non ho nulla da dichiarare.
- SHOZO (8/5): -
- Katerina (10/5): - The house was beautiful and charming, and the highlight for sure was their amazing local recommendations. Everything we tried from their list, we loved.
- JYUNYI (10/5): -
- Eszter (10/5): The loveliest accomodation ever! - I really liked everything! It is the perfect place to stay in when in Kyoto. The neighborhood is lovely and it’s easy to take transportation from there. The staff is very nice! The house feels very cozy and they provide everything you could need. The bed was very comfy and you even have your own little tea corner in your room, which is nice at night. It’s a whole experience, and I would come back here a hundred more times. 100% recommend. -
- Aurelie (9/5): It was a great stay, the house and room were nice and the staff super helpful ! - I enjoyed the atmosphere of the house, the staff was very helpful and welcoming. The room was cozy and comfortable, I really felt at home during these few days.
- Sachiko (8/5): 良かった - お部屋が素晴らしかった。
- Jin (5/5): -
- Chloe (9/5): Very cosy and comforting, wished I had stayed longer. - Very confortable, very thoughtful set up (warmer patch for keeping extra warmth, fleece layer to wear if we get cold going to restroom at night, slippers, a full sento kit to borough), very quiet and family neighborhood, close enough to city attractions, a lot of natural day light ! And very cute things here and there Haven’t found any.

- Jen (10/5): - The house is beautiful! I was only there for one night, but I wish I had stayed for more!
- Kaija (9/5): parasta oli aito japanilainen tunnelma, vanhan talon arkkitehtuuri, kaunis sisäpiha - Aamiainen ei kuulunut hintaan, mutta keittiössä oli riittävä varustus, jotta sen saattoi itse valmistaa
- Philip (6/5): Nice traditional space, not so private (or secure). - I arrived late and they left me instructions. I left early. So I didn't have much of an experience. It's a nice Machiya style house. So you get an experience of old Kyoto. The door really had no lock. A better door at least to the room I was in is really needed. I know it's Japan and it's safe, so it's not a huge deal. But some people might freak out at the hook and eye lock. Also, the walls are thin! Be aware that everyone can hear everything.
- Ekaterina (10/5): -
- Simone (10/5): - Ho trovato il ryokan Higurashi-Sou veramente bellissimo. Per me e il mio compagno è stato davvero rilassante poter riposare nella camera di questo alloggio. Inoltre il servizio gratuito di Sento pubblico e la possibilità di utilizzare l'area cucina sono stati davvero indispensabili. Abbiamo apprezzato tanto la cura nei dettagli per far sentire gli ospiti accolti nel miglior modo possibile. Grazie! Speriamo di tornare presto a Kyoto e alloggiare di nuovo qui.
- 士哲 (10/5): - 住宿地點不錯 環境也很好 服務人員友善
- santiago (10/5): - I really liked, you felt like home, and it’s so quite, you feel like a local, I wanna come back again
- Gondo (8/5): -
- Jeremie (10/5): Excellent séjour dans une maison typique bien placée - La chambre japonaise dans une maison typique de Kyoto. Les futons étaient très confortables. Le calme du lieu (à condition que chacun joue le jeu, les murs sont en papier). L'arrêt de bus à proximité Le Family Mart à 2 min et le supermarché à 10 min Pas de point d'eau ni de sanitaires à l'étage. Pas de possibilité de faire sa vaisselle car il n'y a pas d'évier. Dommage, on ne sait pas où vider un bol par exemple (lorsque les gérants ne sont pas là)
- Adrian (10/5): Típica casa japonesa - Típica casa japonesa Tranquila y sin ruido Estaba algo retirado del metro Las escaleras son algo empinadas El baño está en la planta de abajo
- Mihai (10/5): -
- Nikiforos (9/5): Superb -
- Karina (8/5): Very good -
- Kuankuan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Nicolás (10/5): Exceptional - Super cozy, staff is very attentive and friendly. Every room was heated (early march) and there is a lot of love and effort put into the accommodation. I was always happy to return to this place after a long day of walking. The staff also has a very good English level and the location is not far from a few stations.
- Scipiotheafrican (10/5): Exceptional - Phenomenal experience. N/A
- Anja (10/5): Beautiful authentic Kyoto Townhouse Stay - A perfect small guesthouse for travellers seeking a quiet Japanese Townhouse experience. Of all places I stayed in Kyoto, where I never had a bad accommodation, this might be my favourite. Not only is it in a beautiful sympathetically renovated Kyoto town house, with wooden floors and beautifully painted doors and a lot of natural wood, but a business that aims to take steps toward sustainability, like reusable towels, no single use items, and renting out free bicycles to guests, when, of course, cycling is the best way to see Kyoto. The house is very stylish in a calm and traditional way, I loved just viewing all the different rooms. My futon was very comfy, the duvet warm, there was a kettle for making tea in my room, and my room was very cosy and had everything I would need. I also loved that they give you a ticket for a sento and encourage you to use the sento, any sento that takes part in the scheme in Kyoto, and you can borrow a sento basket with shampoo etc from reception. I went to the sento a couple hundred metres away before heading to the airport, which was wonderfully relaxing. This is owed to the structure of the house, but it was a rather long way from my bedroom to the bathroom, especially in the middle of the night in the cold. All those glass screen doors can be very confusing especially in the dark, but I understand that's owed to being an old house.
- Di (10/5): Exceptional - Staying in the traditional house was a nice experience. It is cozy and beautiful. They put heating everywhere so you would feel comfortable when it is cold.
- Miyako (10/5): - 京都の町家の良さをそのまま活かした素敵なお宿でした。お風呂は銭湯券が配られ久しぶりに銭湯に入ってきました。水回りは共通でしたがいずれも快適に改装されていてました。
- Clara (9/5): Superb -
- Josie (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sara (8/5): Clean, comfortable with a beautiful balcony, but steep and creaky stairs. - The exterior is so beautiful, and so is the interior. A mix or western and Japanese, leaning more on the Japanese side. The stairs are VERY steep. This location is not wheelchair friendly, which wasn’t a concern for our group but it is something worth knowing. You also had to order breakfast before 6:30AM which seems a bit unreasonable
- Tomás (9/5): Superb - Very good place and nice staff, 10/10 would recommend. I like everything except the blinds, didn't block the sun very much, but I was already counting on that.
- Ito (10/5): Exceptional -
- Maciej (9/5): Superb - Really good location, insanly helpful stuff, clean toilets with really cozy kitchen, which is ready to use. Best hotel I've been to in Japan. Nothing
- Phone (8/5): traditional and peaceful, do recommend! - the property was a perfect taste of traditional life in a residential suburb of kyoto, while not being too far away from tourist sites. the staff were friendly and it really did feel like staying in a home. however, given that it was a traditional house, several amenities were missing that would have made the stay perfect. the manual lock and key on my room door was a bit of an annoyance every time getting in and out. the lack of a bidet in the toilets also made it less pleasant.
- Per (9/5): Superb -
- Crystal (9/5): Traditional Japanese machiya house offering warm and friendly stay with a delicious breakfast! - The house was typically old style Japanese, it was super quirky and immaculately clean. The staff were very friendly and accommodating to my needs and I loved the delicious home made breakfast! Unfortunately I couldn’t sleep on the bed - the duvet and pillow were wonderfully comfortable, but the Japanese style mattress was too hard for me to sleep on so I didn’t rest well. There are 5 bedrooms but only two toilets so something to be aware of.
- Alejandro (10/5): Exceptional - The Japanese vibe on the accommodation No toilets in the room but it's something that I already know
- Christian (8/5): - Schöne Unterkunft im traditionellen Stil und in guter und vor allem ruhiger Lage. Lediglich das Haus ist ziemlich hellhörig, so dass man auf die Rücksicht der anderen Gäste angewiesen ist. Alles in allem eine gute Erfahrung.
- Alejandro (10/5): Staff is awesome - Pure Japanese style
- Francisco (10/5): Lovely accommodation and host, fantastic location, onsen access, coffee and restaurants nearby! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 - The traditional Japanese wooden house with the tatami floor bedrooms, very comfortable futons and the private garden view with the camelia blossoms. Amazing breakfast and tea & coffee facilities. The host was really welcoming and provided excellent restaurant recommendations. Good location and easy connection with great coffee and food near by, check out Yoshihara for amazing coffee. The public onsen was incredible. We will be back!
- Shosaku (10/5): - コストパフォーマンスが最高でした。
- Keith (9/5): Great value. Wonderful traditional Machiya townhouse. - Good location, friendly staff. Very clean. Close to Nijo Castle. Lots of antique furniture.
- Annalin (9/5): Superb -
- Mel (10/5): Exceptional - Wow, what a stay! It was a beautiful house, impeccably clean, a room with a great space, overlooking the garden, it was everything I imagined it to be! Although this ryokan didnt have an onsen, they do offer free tickets to one nearby we just couldn't go in at the specified time. That was the only bummer. The breakfast was hearty enough for us to go to the monkey mountain, I loved staying here! Thank you so much! A lil far from the center but I didn't mind, it gave us a different side of Kyoto, peaceful and serene, more local
- Michael (10/5): - Great service, bike availability and near major stations, stores
- Afonso (7/5): Wonderful place, lovely staff, moldy room - This is a truly charming accommodation, you feel like spending time there. It's located in a quiet neighborhood, with good restaurants nearby. Staff was very friendly and helpful, especially when there was an issue with my room. My room was the biggest disappointment in such a wonderful place. The reality didn't match the pictures... The room had mold on the walls, it's dark (I had to turn on the lights during the daytime), the window is facing the entrance courtyard, and it had a damp feeling to it. Nevertheless, the staff was very helpful to find a solution to change this situation, for which I'm truly appreciated.
- Aafke (10/5): My favourite place to stay in Kyoto - It is my second time visiting Higurashi Sou and I just love it! It is very cozy, clean and the breakfast is my favourite! This time as I was travelling alone, I had a small room, but it was perfect with a nice side lamp, table and basically everything you need. I used the common areas to read and drink a coffee looking out to the garden - perfect! Maybe for some travellers it might be far from the city centre.
- Elizabeth (8/5): Traditional property for a simple stay - It’s beautiful original features and calm, restful vibe. Very clean. Air con in room great. Thoughtful touches eg tea, water, coffee Abit far away from downtown Kyoto eg Gion area. that said places to see in Kyoto are located N,S,E,W and centrally!
- Sawako (8/5): - 京都の古民家ステイを楽しめる。朝ごはんは手作りで美味しくリーズナブル。手縫いの再利用ハンドタオルや足拭きマットなど、環境配慮にも熱心。駅やバス停からは近く無いが、無料のレンタル自転車が嬉しい。
- Alexandre (10/5): - Personnel très accueillant. Très propre. Si je devais revenir sur Kyoto, je reviendrai ici
- Jaume (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jaume (10/5): Exceptional -
- Fabienne (10/5): like a dream - the lady was welcoming and helpful it was very quiet breakfast was excellent the stairs but like in all Japanese places
- Georg (10/5): just beautiful - The vibe and design of this ancient house is amazing. The staff was very helpful and friendly. They put a lot of work into making such an old building comfortable by modern standards while sustaining it's beautiful original design. -
- Akshay (10/5): The ultimate Kyoto experience. As authentic as it can get. - Easily the highlight of my trip to Japan.
- Claudia (10/5): Exceptional - Really enjoyed my stay at this traditional house! Facilities and interiors are great and well-kept. Especially loved the delicious tea, guidebook and the onsen kit provided in the room. Location is quiet but a bit far from main tourist spots, so it was amazing to use the bike to get around Kyoto! Staff was friendly and welcoming. All was great, keep up the good work and hope to be back soon
- Eve (9/5): Superb - Old traditional house with great amenities and amazing value for money A bit cold in the evenings
- Hans (10/5): Exceptional - Great old style Kyoto home Wonderful and helpful staff
- Edward (10/5): Wonderful place to stay - Really lovely place to stay, house itself is very nice and very comfortable and cozy! Host is very welcoming and speaks very good English (in case that's a concern).
- Cornelia (9/5): A perfect stay to enjoy Kyoto. We plan to come again! - The hospitality was great. Very helpful, friendly and considering our needs. We could feel like at home. Even if it was cold outside, inside it was comfy and we could sufficiently use the heaters. I liked in particular the thick blankets. Also bathrooms and water system was completely fine. The possibility that we could rent bikes to explore Kyoto made our stay perfect. Locations nearby close quite early in the evening, about 9 pm. That is why the place there is rather quiet, what is also good! But late eaters have to consider this. The centre is nearby, though, so it is not really an issue.
- Wilsoncarnivore (10/5): Exceptional - Traditional house, modern conveniences, friendly staff, a room with its own garden, simple but very delicious and nutritious breakfast, lots of 銭湯 nearby to choose from, bus stops within walking distance--all of these make staying here very comfortable and enjoyable. And thanks for recommending going to see Slam Dunk. This is my first Japanese movie theater experience, very memorable!
- Marley (9/5): Superb -
- James (9/5): Superb -
- Maxime (9/5): Superb - A perfect and cosy place to stay, an authentic ryokan with a kind team.
- Krum (10/5): Really peaceful place and hosts listenings . - Free access to Onsen and possibility to have a lend of bicycle :

- ko (6/5): 조용하고 조금 불편한 게스트하우스 - 분위기나 인테리어 등 여러가지면은 좋았다. 조용하고 차분히 쉴 수있다 가는 곳. 하지만 위치가 너무 별로 ...니조성이 가깝지만 니조역에서는 많이 먼 느낌 택시를 타기에도 걷기에도 애매했다. 그리고 체크인을 하고 저녁을 먹으러 나갔는데 근처 식당들이 너무 빨리 문을 닫고 너무 깜깜해서 당황했다. 나는 큰 방을 예약해서 2층으로 안내를 받았는데 2층 올라가는 계단이 무슨 사다리급으로 경사가 심하다. 그래서 화장실을 1층 공용으로 써야하는데 왔다갔다 하는것이 부담스러울 정도였다. 수건한장도 추가금액이 있고 (이건 추가금을 내고 쓰면 될듯) 완벽하게 세안제가 세팅이 되어있는 것은 아니니 본인이 챙겨가야 할 듯 싶다. 사실 이불 요 같은 경우도 커버를 직접 본인이 세팅해야하는데 먼지가 너무 많아서 우리가족 모두가 먼지때문에 힘들어했다. ㅜ 창문을 열어놔서 환기를 좀 시키려고했더니 모기들과 앞집? 애기들이 밤새 울어서 잠을 설쳤다. 게스트 하우스의 분위기나 프라이버시는 괜찮았지만 위치, 2층방 계단(너무 무서움), 청결도, 소음문제는 불편하다...너무 솔직한 평인가?
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Otroligt pittoreskt men relativt sparsmakat. Vackert och centralt.
- ka chun (10/5): Very nice staff - Staff is very helpful and friendly. thanks so much.
- Verified traveler (8/5): 일본의 평범한 가정집을 느끼고 싶다면 - 아주 잘 정비된 료칸은 아니지만 조용한 주거지역의 일본의 평범한 가정집이라는 점에서 더 편안하게 묵을 수 있었습니다. 오래된 소품과 곳곳에 있는 세심한 배려도 돋보였습니다. 공용화장실 및 세면시설이 다소 불편할 수도 있지만 불쾌할 만큼은 아니었습니다.
- Chunyen (10/5): 體驗古早日式房屋的好去處 - 不知是鄰近房客習慣問題還是隔音太差，若睡眠品質容易不好的人需要多考慮(包括其他類似的日式傳統住宅)。周遭雖然沒有著名美食，但有在地人常光臨的小店，附近馬路與公園還會有居民在散步活動等，相當庶民的體驗。日式住宅雖然較冷亦又容易傳導噪音，但店家提供數台暖爐以及相當溫暖的公共空間，溫度不會是大問題。旅遊的話可以以旅館為中心安排順/逆時針方向前往各大景點，五分鐘腳程就有公車站牌，除了本身就對公車不友善的伏見稻荷以外去哪裡都很方便。
- Verified traveler (6/5): 古民家 - 外出中に布団を敷いてもらいましたが、湯たんぽが入っていて感動しました。 心も身体も温かく気持ちよく眠れました。
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Charming little building with a cute little garden! Thr staff were very kind and warm as well. The futon was very fluffy and a pleasure to sleep in and the staff put in a yutampo inside to warm it up which was nice.
