    I enjoyed experiencing a more traditional Japanese style room while I was staying in Kyoto. The location was really nice being close to nature and the nearby city! It's on top of a big hill, so your legs will get a good workout each time you go up...

    Getting from the ryokan to the station is pretty fast. The Japanese style room was big and the futon was extremely comfortable. The hiking trails available directly behind the ryokan were great. You can easily get to a nice temple area hiking...

~~Kyoto Dai's house~~ A quiet Japanese garden building located in Kyoto's Goryo. Located in a residential area, the surrounding area is elegant and quiet. The most important thing is that the transportation is very convenient 1. There is a reserved bus from Kansai Airport that goes directly to the entrance of the hostel. 2. 2 stops to Kyoto Station, 6 minutes walk to the station 3. 6 minutes to Reien, Yasaka Shrine, Kiyomizu Temple, Hanami Koji, Kawaramachi, and Nishiki Market 4. 5 minutes to Nanzenji Temple, the Way of Philosophy, and Ginkakuji Temple 5. 20~25 minutes to Fushimi Inari Shrine 6. Arashiyama is only 30-35 minutes away 7. the biggest advantage of the subway is that you don't have to take the bus all the time (fewer buses and more detours) 8. triangle window house (ventilation and light first-class) corner that is Yamashina hydrophobic 9. all the buildings must look Japanese style 10 road is a rare 8 meters road, a bit like the Hong Kong mid-levels villa a little bit of a small slope very quiet, clean
