I used it for touring during Golden Week in 2012.This is the inn I stopped at after traveling around the Chugoku region.It had a nice rural feel in the mountains of Kyoto.There were a lot of families, but it didn't bother me that much.I think it was comfortable.The host is friendly and approachable.It felt like I was visiting a relative's home in the countryside.I would like to visit again if I have a chance.

Clean and basic B&B. Nice quiet location north of Kyoto. Difficult access to public transport but plenty of car parking. Nice owner than can speak some English

Traditional Japanese hostel far outside of Kyoto. Hardly any bus connection to Kyoto, 2 times early in the morning and 2 times in the evening. Otherwise 3 km to the bus terminus.No shops or restaurants within walking distance.But very clean, shower in the annex, annoying regulations from the operator.You sleep on the futon mattress with rice pillows on the floor, everything is very traditional but authentic!! (NOT meant ironically!)We arrived late in the evening and the operator agreed to drive us to the nearest supermarket and back in his private car. Very kind of him.

Unusual for a guesthouse, they allowed check-in until late. If you are going from within Kyoto city, be careful as there are not many street lights on the roads at night.
