Uji – Gistihús

Beautiful historic house with a lovely traditional garden. Specious common area with a full kitchen (range, microwave, large fridge, dish dryer. Complementary Green Tea & Coffee (yes, they do have single serve milk/cream pods and sugar for those of you who need it :-)) Spotless shower, toilet and bathroom areas. Stay comes with bath towel and a face towel. Four WiFi routers to connect to with plenty of outlets for all your electronics :-) Electronic access front door for 24hr access along with a room key. Tatami mats in rooms, hardwood floor in common areas. Japanese footon (firm) with duvet cover on top (very fluffy and cozy). One pillow, best for back sleepers. For Winter: heater in each room. For Summer: washi paper screens on windows so one can air out the room yet maintain privacy. Shower has both a body wash and shampoo inside. Everything one needs in a truly lovely house. The property is right next to a small temple; very suitable for a morning contemplation before setting out for the next leg of your journey. I highly recommend staying at this property.

I liked the Japanese style of the room, hospitable owner, free coffee and tea, comfortable futon and shower room. Smoking area.

I loved the location of the domicile. Just under a 5 minute walk from the shrine and train. Tons of local vendors to purchase gifts, meals, and snacks.

A small, very modern and perfectly clean house for approx. 8 minutes' walk from the train that takes you to Kyoto Station. The hosts are particularly attentive and helpful, and the owner's daughter speaks English. The kitchen is suitable for preparing some simple food, but there are plenty of restaurants nearby. Each detail is exactly suitable for the description and the photos. Four of us stayed here and fit comfortably. Great venue for Kyoto's discovery and much more comfortable and authentic than a hotel room!
