Absolutely wonderful! We stayed here a few nights with our two young children and it was perfect. Incredible location, with nearby sites, restaurants, shops and accessibility. The location is on a quiet street one block from a major street where it is easy to get a cab (and pull your luggage). It is also in walking distance to many must see sights. Perfect for a young family who needs some breaks throughout the day.

After 4 magnificent nights in Kyoto in the Tsukinowacho House, we can only recommend this quality accommodation (space, cleanliness, real Japanese atmosphere - the Tatamis room 🤩) and very well located! Special mention to Claire for her kindness and the services provided! Thank you very much and we hope to see you next time!

A beautiful place well located in Kyoto. It has what you need and it’s very quiet even though it’s in a very touristy place. We do a lot of things on foot. Our only downside, surely due to the season, is that the part of the ground floor remained very cold.

5/5 Stay! Tsukiowacho House was perfect. It was very beautiful, clean, safe, and walking distance to many attractions. House supervisor, Claire, was very informative and provided us with all the details to get to the place with easy instructions to get into the house. Claire was also very accommodating in letting us check in early. Overall, perfect stay in Kyoto. We will definitely stay here again.
