• David (10/5): Parfaite location, service de qualité - La location, le service, la disponibilité de Aki San et la propreté du logement étaient parfaits. Merci à Aki San pour sa disponibilité. Le logement est à moins de 10 min à pieds de la gare de Kyoto et permet de faire tous les coins sympas de Kyoto et de sa périphérie en transports, rapidement. Arigato ! Tout était nickel. Pas le meilleur logement pour les personnes de grandes tailles. Sinon, tout est incroyable !
• Learoyd (10/5): -
• Cristina (10/5): Excelente - Es una casa típica japonesa y es una experiencia chula. Estaba limpio . El salón grande. La cocina con todo lo necesario . La ducha típica muy bien. Las dos habitaciones bien. Las camas / futones bastante bien No es q no me gustara pero para nosotros comer y dormir en el suelo no es cómodo
• Quah (10/5): - Good location Nil
• Hollis (10/5): - The host was very accommodating and friendly and went out of his way to greet us and give us travel recommendations. The house was perfect and location was even better.
• WauloK (10/5): Lovely stay in a traditional house. Easy to find and close to konbinis. - Easy to find, very traditional looking. Easy to enter with supplied code. Close to shops and konbinis. Light comes in through the windows at night time so it's not completely dark, but I had an eye mask which worked well.

• Christina (10/5): -
• Masako (9/5): - 洗濯機と衣類乾燥機がありがたかったです 掘りごたつが寒かったことと、鍋がIH対応でないものが置いてあったことです。フライパンはIH対応だったので、フライパンでゆがいたので事なきを得ました。
• Biren (10/5): Very nice property, perfect for family of 4. - Property is absolutely clean and location is short walk from station.
• Qian zhi (8/5): - 地點方便 乾淨整潔 覺得烘洗衣機洗衣機可以在大一點
• Siew Chen (9/5): - Location was good, near Kyoto station. Facilities were well equipped, the house looks exactly like the photos. Nothing
• Ayuko (9/5): とても楽しかった - 駅に近いし、他の観光地にも歩いて行けたし、バス停も近いのでバスに乗って観光地まで行くのもスムーズにできとても良かった 部屋の広さも十分でしたし、キッチンもお風呂も洗面台も清潔 十分満足
• Chen (10/5): -
• Karen (10/5): Home away from home - It has everything I needed. Well thought through. Comfortable. Bedroom needed black out curtain and the location is convenient but near to hospital. Ambulance through the night.
• DELPHINE (10/5): Très bel endroit sur Kyoto - Les chambres sont très belles de style japonais. Il y a deux lavabos, les lits sont confortables, machine à laver…tout le nécessaire est disponible. Bien situé à 9 minutes à pied de la gare de Kyoto. Penser à un cache œil pour éviter d’être réveillé par le jour car store peu occultant. Système de porte d’entrée un peu complexe pour nous.
• Selvina (9/5): -
• AYAKO (8/5): ゆっくり過ごせてよかったです！ - 寝室がたくさんあり個別にゆっくり休めた。寝具も清潔で気持ちよかったです。 3人で宿泊したがシャワーで4人分の湯量と説明があったので、冬は寒いと不安かもしれません。
• Michele (8/5): Loved staying at Kyoto Kazenoya Sara, the place has a traditional Japanese feel and is an easy walk from Kyoto Station. - Loved the well appointed traditional feel of the property, was clean and welcoming. Great for our family of five. Close to Kyoto Station, an easy walk. Had issues cooking on the induction cooker - took about an hour to make breakfast on the first morning.
• Arthur (10/5): -
• Fabrizio Canonaco (9/5): - Charming place, excellently located in a quiet neighbourhood. Great for families and groups.
• ERIC (9/5): -
• 櫻婷 (9/5): - 1.設備充足齊全 2.店員熱情且時常關心 3.環境乾淨整潔 4.床很舒服 5.位置不錯，離車站走路10分鐘左右 6.電視內容豐富 1.樓梯較狹窄 2.附近有醫院常常有救護車經過 3.位置在小巷裡有點偏僻
• Sophie (9/5): Maison traditionnelle bien équipée - Maison traditionnelle bien équipée et confortable. Très bon contact avec le propriétaire et instructions très claires. Le futon 2 places est petit (130cm je pense). Le 5eme futon est sur la mezzanine sans climatisation. Parfait pour 3/4 personnes donc.
• Aude (10/5): Super séjour en famille! - Maison à la fois très fonctionnelle et traditionnelle, donc une combinaison parfaite pour ce que nous voulions. Très bon emplacement juste à côté de la gare pour rayonner partout dans Kyoto. Et des très bons petits restos juste à côté, ainsi qu’un 7/11.
• Janae (10/5): We loved staying here and would do so again if we ever visit Kyoto. - The house was exceptional clean. We loved the the location (though it did take us a minute to find). The beds were comfortable and we really appreciated the split bathroom. I would recoomend this location to anyone. Nothing
• Shriniket (8/5): Great location space looks bigger in pictures but a bit cramped in reality - The place had all the amenities that mattered to us for a nice vacation stay. 1. Proximity to the Kyoto train station, this saved us a lot of valuable time in avoiding transfers when going places. In Japan this is invaluable. 2. There was enough space for the 3 of us. 3. The beds were comfortable. 4. The washer and dryer are separate but tiny. 5. We did not cook food but used the microwave and dishes for leftovers so missed having a dishwasher. 6. Water pressure anywhere in Japan was amazing! Great showers. 7. Two sinks helped when we were getting ready at the same time. 1. The seating in the living room. It was a cool experience but the cool factor wore off in a day and we were really craving a couch or some comfy chairs after a long day of sights. 2. Proximity to the Kyoto train station, The walk is about 15 min. On map it looks close but the roads are not in a straight line. We were 3 of us and had 3 large bags and 3 small bags, walking from the station to the house was a pain, especially when trying to find the place for the first time. On return we booked a taxi. 3. The space is cramped. 753 sq ft across 2 floors, with two bedrooms living spaces on each floor and kitchen makes each space very cramped. The stars are very narrow and steep which made it fun for us but may not work for older people or heavier people. 4. We had to get really creative on where we stored our luggage without it getting in our way. We lived out of the suitcases and it would've been nice to unpack since we stayed for 6 nights. We were too scared to use the antique dressers, not sure if we could even use them. 5. The dryer takes a long time to dry. 6. The restroom (or toilet) is cramped. There is only one restroom downstairs so if you need to use it in the middle of the night you have to go down the narrow steep steps. 7. There was one towel per person and they were small and thin. No bathroom rugs. We were surprised by how cramped the space felt, the rest of the items on this list were not surprises. This place is great to experience traditional living for a couple of days or if it's your lifestyle.
• Simona (10/5): -
• Mohamed (10/5): Exceptional - If you're looking for a lovely place to stay in Kyoto, this is one of the best accommodations out there! A typical Japanese house, renovated. Located a few minutes walk away from Kyoto station. We've loved everything in this house. We recommend it.
• Gordon (10/5): Traditional Japanese house with modern appliances. - Traditional Japanese house which accommodated out family of 5 exceptionally well. Property was spotlessly clean and comfortable. Within 10 mins walk of Kyoto station.
• Matthew (10/5): Great central Kyoto location. Wonderful Owner - The owner was amazing. Very good communication and he met us early on arrival to show us how to unlock and lock the door. The interior was awesome, great facilities and very comfortable beds / bedrooms. The location is perfect, we were close to everything. Absolutely nothing to complain about we would definitely recommend.
• Kira (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent apartment for a family of 4. Great location, close to the train station. Close to plenty of restaurants.
• Hom (10/5): Exceptional -
• Souvik (8/5): Very good - Conveniently located a 10 min walk away from Kyoto Station with excellent Izakayas nearby.
• Syahrozanna (8/5): Very good -
• Mark (8/5): Very good -
• Karina (10/5): Comfort in great locatio n. - Excellent location, had everything we needed, loved the low table made comfortable by lower floor. Around the corner from some nice restaurants. Nothing
• Sanjeev (10/5): Perfect for everyone, families, friends. Great location! - Location is walking distance to Kyoto Station, key bus routes, etc. supermarket 10min walking, tourist and local restaurants walking distance. Beds comfortable, house is beautiful and make the trip feel more authentic.
• Paula (8/5): Very good - Kyoto was amazing. We loved our stay here. Our only discomfort being in our 50's was the lack of seating. After walking all day, when we came back we could only sit on the floor, our old knees struggled with the traditional floor seating. And from Australia, we were used to much larger pillows. We tried to buy some but found that difficult. Other than that, this place is gorgeous. We absolutely loved staying here and everything was perfect. This isn't a complaint on the place, we knew when we booked it, we just realised we aren't as flexible in our bodies as we thought lol. The TV and guest access to Netflix was great too. The location was perfect. Getting there from the train station was a dream. Highly recommended, just be prepared for the floor seating and no lounge lol
• Jenny (10/5): Exceptional -
• Victoria (7/5): Good -
• Vicki (10/5): Such a cute house with lots of character. - Loved the feel of the place very old time Japanese style which we loved. Loved the under table heating. Was a good size and great location. Very close to Kyoto station. Really loved the feel of the place. So many little extras scattered around the house, like lots of peices of pottery etc. We were scared of breaking them so put them away lol. Love that it had a washing machine. Pretty steep stairs but that was no problem really. Just had to be careful.
• L (10/5): Great location - Great location. Easy walk from train station. Lots of restaurants close. Clean facilities. Great space for a family of 5 (2 adults, 3 kids). Loved having a washing machine and dryer. Beds were a little hard but still comfortable
• Kel (9/5): Superb -
• Hooi (10/5): Exceptional - Comfortable bed. Great location. The non-stick pan needs to be replaced as it is peeling.
• Jamie (10/5): Just what we wanted for our stay in Kyoto. Host was super friendly and allowed us to check in earlier. Travelling with a - Great traditional Japanese property.
• Elina (10/5): Perfect opportunity to experience Japanese house with all the comfort you need. - We got to experience authentic Japanese house, with tea room and low dinner table. It was small but very well thought through and cosy. We were able to manage the temperature by our own and the house was equipped with all the necessary dishes and utensils. We liked everything.
• Erin (10/5): Beautiful home , I recommend - Loved the culture theme with a twist of modern My kids loved it here The streaming tv services was so good The beds were comfy Sitting on the floor in the lounge
• Dave (9/5): Superb - Great location near Kyoto station. Very well provisioned townhouse with good kitchen and laundry facilities. Lovely bath. Heaps of space. Multiple air conditioners which helped the heat.
• Nathan (8/5): Very good -
• Susan (10/5): Staying here was the perfect way to feel in were actually living in Japan. For two weeks, we loved it! - Traditional Japanese aesthetics plus daily comforts like Netflix, WiFi , a washer and dryer (very important), air conditioning, nice bath products. Convenient location: 2 min walk to closest bus stop, 6 min to Kyoto station, easy transportation access. Hint: take a business card (in the entry foyer’s alcove) to give the address & location to taxi drivers. Excellent communication with property manager. No issues.
• Applezhangxm (10/5): Exceptional -
• Allison (10/5): Great and relaxing way to end my Japan trip - The whole house to ourselves and great to experience a Japanese house. Would highly recommend over a hotel The air conditioner in the larger bedroom made a small noise when turned up the highest
• Fulior (10/5): Exceptional - Very good contact with the owner, the house is really nice, very quiet despite being located in the city center. 5 minute walk to the central station. Fully equipped kitchen, all the beds really comfy. Nice and clean bathroom. And all of that in a 19th century house. That was the best place we stayed in during our Japan trip. After 5 days stay our garbage cans were almost full, would be good to know how to dispose the trash properly (with recycling rules and so on). We only knew that plastic bottles and cans need to go to one, and everything else to the other. But I guess that in the end trash needs to be further separated into bio, paper, mixed and so on.
• Antje (10/5): Exceptional - A very authentic japanese styled house. We felt very much at home. It was very comfortable and clean. The kids loved the house.
• Robert (10/5): Lovely stay for family holiday - Good layout and unique style The chairs took a little time to work out
• Mats (10/5): Makes other locations pale in comparision -
• Mayu (10/5): Perfect location - Perfect location - walkable from the Kyoto and literally a minute from a convenient store. We never got to meet the host but he seems to be super nice and friendly. Fully equipped kitchen and bathroom made our stay easy and comfortable. Definitely recommend. Thank you!
• Thinley (10/5): Excellent. Comfortable, cozy, quiet, and very good location. - Comfortable, cozy, quiet and very good location. An independent unit in a quiet alley off the main street with ample space for my family of four. Walking distance to Kyoto Station and plenty of small restaurant’s and convenience stores nearby. If you are not an early riser and prefer dark rooms, you might need an eye mask, the windows and skylights are not black out.
• Rowena (9/5): Great Japanese style townhouse! - Love the decor of the townhouse and the tiny touches of little japanese trinkets. We particularly liked the sit-down table with the recess for your legs, something different to home! It was a great home away from home and had everything we needed! Very spacious for our two boys and a novelty for exploration from the rooms to the toilet and bathroom facilities. The bathroom was great, but the bath itself had a slow drain, so we resorted to showering on the other wet area so not to clog it.
• Malte (9/5): Great stay with family - Very friendly Host and a very comfortable house in a quiet area of Kyoto. We would like to come back! It was a very good stay - maybe some less kitchen equipment like a sharp knife or further cooking equipment could be good
• Tina (10/5): What a wonderful place to stay in Kyoto!! - Excellent location Spotless Spacious Netflix Comfortable
• Steven (9/5): Superb - The authentic style of the accommodation.
• P (9/5): Superb -
• Karen (10/5): Traditional with modern kitchen and bathrooms. - Clean and traditional. There was everything you could possibly need in the beautiful townhouse. There were many sweet touches such as traditional furniture. It was the first time I had seen a foot heater under the table. Fabulous
• Veronica (9/5): Superb -
• Andrew (10/5): Perfect for a family in central Kyoto - Easy access via electronic keypad, great communications Was all great
• Bart (8/5): Very good - Traditional Japanese apartment has nice feel and centrally located to Kyoto station
• Rabiatul (9/5): Lovely! - Beautifully decorated house, comfortable beds & with superb facilities (complete toilet amenities, well equipped kitchen, wifi with good speed, netflix is available & wide selection of tv channels). We should have spent more time in this house :)
• Pawel (8/5): Very good - Great location, within walking distance from Kyoto station. Perfect for a a family or a group of travelers. It makes it a great value for money. Very comfortable with everything you need inside: heating, AC, cooking amenities, laundry, shower and bath etc. Nicely arranged interior in Japanese style if that is what you are looking for. Everything is properly explained before arrival and various instructions are available inside of the accommodation in english and other languages. You do not get to meet the staff/owners and you get a code by email which you use to access the house. If you do need to get in touch with someone, they are very responsive by message and you can call as well. Everything was perfect except for check in and check out times (16pm and 10am respectively). We arrived late in the evening and asked for 30min late checkout. That was accepted as long as we let the cleaning staff in (assuming they showed up). Cleaning staff showed up around 10:05 already. By 10.25 they were more or less done with the upstairs (we used only 1 bedroom) and started working downstairs were we were finishing packing. Because of that we felt pressured and had to rush. It is also worth to know there is no dedicated luggage storage. If you are advised to use the station lockers note that those are most of the time full. You may end up searching for other luggage storage options if needed. The above negatively contributed to our overall experience.
• Priliani (10/5): Will recommend it to my friends if they’re going to kyoto - Everything’s clean, the facility was superb, and located near kyoto station. The host was also super helpful, thankyou so much
• Liang (10/5): Trip 2023 - Place is clean and very comfortable Nil
• Arnoud (10/5): Exceptional -
• Pham (10/5): Impeccably clean traditional town house! - Nice, impeccably clean, great traditional atmosphere, every item has its purpose, some are not so apparent but if thinking deep enough, we figured it out, interesting! which then make the stay wasn't just a stay but an opportunity for exploration of this traditional Japanese house in Kyoto.
• Jiano (9/5): Awesome house in Kyoto!! - The house was amazing and filled with a ton of amenities that rivals hotels. The host was also great in providing instructions, recommendations, and very responsive for anything we needed. The style of the house and area is definitely great to experience as a first-timer in Kyoto. We had 4 people check-in and it was still plenty of room with all of us. The bottom of the toilet seemed to be leaking a bit but we only noticed it on our last day there. Sometimes it does get hot in the open area upstairs even with the central air turned on. These are very nit-picky as our overall experience was great!
• Kwong (10/5): Excellent - We enjoyed a Japanese style vacation at Kyoto. The house is traditional, tidy and clean. None
• Tomas (10/5): Great authentic house just for you near Kyoto station. - Great authentic house with all the necessary amenities. Very well looked after. Friendly staff. Very convenient near Kyoto station. -
• Peter (9/5): Lovely house near Kyoto station! - The decor! The decor was nice! Also, it was quite close to the station so if you want to visit anywhere in Kyoto it was easy to access. I wish there was some matcha available. I noticed there were some tea ceremony cups hidden away. It would have been nice to use them.
• Ming (10/5): Exceptional - The location is perfect for people who are looking for a place that is close to the JR station. The toilet is quite small for a tall or chubby person.
• Lucanus (9/5): overall a pleasant stay! - good price, good location, quiet there’s some trash under the table in the living room.
• Callum (10/5): Great location and great experience. -
• Callum (10/5): Great location and great experience. -
• Kwok (10/5): Perfect for a family. Very warm cozy traditional Japanese style holiday home. - Traditional style Japanese house experience that hotels cannot offer. Perfect setup for a family with laundry and cooking facility. The house was very clean. Appreciate the attention to details and decorations around the house. The location is very convenient, about 10mins walk to Kyoto train station. Convenient stores are just around the corner. The only minor inconvenience is that there is only 1 toilet downstairs and it is a bit of a hassle to use the toilet in the middle of the night.
• Temy (9/5): Easy and great stay - Clean property, amenities were exceptional that you got everything you need. Good location. House rules and manuals are available in English.
• Chih-hui (10/5): great spot for exploration of Kyoto - comfortable with great set up in a traditional Japanese style. my friend would like some black tea bags….
• Philip (9/5): Great place! - Great place! Will come again! Small things such as would have been good to have tea and coffee or some small cooking ingredients eg salt, oil.. but these are only small things..
