Welcomed by Claire, adorable host, we quickly took possession of this pretty little house. Ideally located between the different main "tourist districts" of Kyoto, 50 minutes from a getaway to Osaka and above all very quiet. Which is not insignificant after the dense crowds around the Nichiki market. We would happily go back!!
