The inn is close to Kinkaku-ji, Daitoku-ji, and Kitano Tenmangu, and is just a short walk away from the bus. There are two guest rooms on the second floor of the detached house. The room I stayed in had a double bed and a sofa in a renovated closet, so I could sleep there as well. The room is spacious and comfortable. In addition, the living room on the first floor is free to use, and there is also a bath, toilet, and kitchen. The owner is a very friendly person and also runs the Genghis Khan restaurant next door. Of course, we took advantage of the 20% discount for hotel guests. It was a very nice inn.
