I have been staying in this B&B since my first trip to Kyoto 8 years ago. Run by Mr. Shanji and his daughter. It's very family-friendly and cozy. It's only a 2-minute walk to Kiyomizu-dera Temple and the location is great. It's just that the old gentleman seems to be in poor health in recent years. He doesn't provide any catering and only does some business with regular customers. The price/performance ratio is very good, the owner is very nice, I recommend it. By the way, there are also 2 very beautiful British shorthair cats, so cute.

Really nice guest room! A couple of hosts who, despite the language barrier, know how to put you at ease and listen to them. …
