House with shared common area, kitchen with stove, microwave and large refrigerator.We had the triple room, traditional with futons on the floor, truly wonderful.We were greeted by a nice lady who didn't speak English but showed us everything.Toilet and shower outside the room, near the common area.In the immediate vicinity there are few places that close early. Small supermarket a few minutes away (near the station).

A very nicely furnished accommodation, right near the nearest train station and the center of Arashiyama. The most famous places are just 5 minutes walk away. It is very clean and the owner is very friendly, we generally had a very good experience there. Highly recommended!
