Super helpful host and English is very good! He gave us all good bakery and food recos! Our room has little garden, automatic toilet and shower with complete amenities (shower gel, fresh towels, shampoo, warm water). The floor mattresses are comfortable! It is tatami room so it feels so traditonal! The location is central, walking distance to Yasaka Shrine (less 10min) and Kiyomizu Dera where we rented Kimono from, can take the bus to Gion. We found a nearby hidden gem which is the Gyobashi bridge by shirakawa river.

There is a really wonderful couple that runs the inn and they are super welcoming and happy to help make your trip better with suggestions. Everything is very clean and staying here is like being in a traditional Japanese house but with a modern Japanese bathroom adjoined to each room. Lovely little garden and traditional style common living dining kitchen area. I'll definitely stay here the best time I'm in Kyoto!

Absolutely charming! Taka and Yuka's cozy guesthouse is a tranquil haven. The Japanese-style rooms exude warmth and authenticity, offering a serene retreat. The attention to detail is remarkable, from the traditional décor to the impeccable service. Staying here feels like a genuine immersion into Japanese hospitality. Highly recommended for an unforgettable and delightful experience

Everything. The room is so comfortable, especially with the en-suite bathroom that is brand new. Taka & Yuka are so kind and friendly and helpful. The location is excellent, in a cute little street with bars and restaurants and close to the main areas. We could only stay 2 nights but would have loved to stay longer!

We loved this stay, absolutely the best of our trip. The owners were so generous and understanding, and there were only a few other guests so no noisy disruptions ! The bikes were fantastic especially for exploring Kyoto and giving our feet a break from walking. Perfect location, perfect hosts, perfect facilities and spaces, perfect privacy ~(˘▾˘~) Absolutely will return when we're back in Tokyo !

Extremely cosy place and wonderful helpful and interested owners. Great location too, close to subway and close to beautiful surroundings. Amazing bathroom facilities, and the room is just Japanese fairytale, with the little private garden and all. In many ryokans the futon beds are very thin, but here the futon has got extra cushioning so the futons are nice and soft. Overall, my son and I had a wonderful stay! Thank you Taka and Yuka!!

The place was indeed in a strategic location. It is in the heart of Gion, near to heritage sites, markets and public transit. The customer service is top notch and I will definitely go back here if I am going to visit Kyoto once more. Thank you, Taka and Yuka for making our first trip to Japan a very wonderful and unforgettable experience. Can't also miss to thank you for those surprise coffee treats!
