Located in Imagumano, where you can feel a true Japanese village atmosphere while not far from downtown Kyoto.Located on a hillside, it has a great view of the entire city of Kyoto. This is a guesthouse where the owner couple is very friendly and many foreigners stay. The only downside is that you have to walk up a hill for about 10 minutes from the bus stop to Henka, but if you don't have luggage, it's worth walking. If you have a lot of luggage, it is okay to use a pick-up service.

Had a great stay here with my family. Very comfortable and pretty traditional japanese setting. Had a nice experience! Our hosts were very kind and helpful. You couldn't find better hosts and caretakers! A little far from the bus stop and rest of town but results in a nice walk through the residential neighborhood. Only about 13 mins to the bus stop to town.

I was at Hennka in March 2017 and I can't find the place's face or IG... does anyone know???The lady's attention was excellent, she gave us tourist information and they always treated us very well, it is worth walking a long way from the nearest bus or train and climbing all those stairs!!! the view is beautiful.

Really nice not too far from the train station. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately the rooms are quite cool without heating.
