Taka was very helpful and the accommodation is really nice and big and everything has been thought of. Maybe a little dark, but you're out and about in Kyoto all day anyway. In any case, we would love to come back!

The location was a little hard to find, but since there are accommodations from the same company very close by, I thought it would be great if multiple families were staying together. It was said that smoking was allowed indoors, which was very helpful for me as I have bad feet. Since I am using a cane to get around, it seemed like I wouldn't be able to get off once I got to the second floor, so I asked my family to take the futon down to the first floor and stay there for one night.It's a house where you can feel the romance of the Taisho era, from the late Meiji period to the early Showa period 💕It's like your grandmother's parents' house, where your great-grandparents and great-great-grandparents lived, and it feels like you're in Japan! I could feel it.
