Although I was staying with my 3-year-old child, who was very mischievous, we were able to have a relaxing stay.When I entered the room, the caretaker was very attentive, such as letting me know when the room was ready and helping me position the bed so my child wouldn't fall into it.Since then, the family has occupied the spacious two-story building exclusively. The interior and garden are just as beautiful as in the photos, and the retro doors, shelves, pillars, and beams have a nice atmosphere. The bathroom was also larger than it looked in the photo, and could fit a family of three, and with the glass door open, everyone could enjoy the feeling of an open-air bath.Despite the good location, the accommodation costs were relatively low, and overall it was a very satisfying stay.However, no matter where you go from the living room to the bathroom, kitchen, second floor, etc., you have to pass through the dirt floor...We had provided sandals for adults to wear on the dirt floor, but the children couldn't wear them, so we had to take them off and put them on each time, which was a little inconvenient.It's possible that they didn't provide one because I told them in advance that I didn't need a futon for my child...If you are traveling with children, we recommend that you bring sandals that are easy to put on and take off.Also, the areas facing the stairs and the second-floor atrium are stylish and have good visibility, so I thought there was a risk of children falling, so I was careful not to take my eyes off them in those areas. .As long as you are careful about that and the noise from the neighbors, I think it is a place where families with children can enjoy staying.

The first inn I stayed at was a Kyomachiya inn, and I became a member of the Tricolor for staying in a house!The bath was wonderful, the garden was wonderful, and the second floor was spacious, making it 100 times more wonderful than the Ritz-Carlton Kyoto! ! !

4/5
A townhouse inn that rents out a single building in a residential area a little towards Murinan from Jingu-michi. It's reasonable to be able to have this luxurious space to yourself for less than 30,000 yen during the off-season. It's a machiya with a lot of space, so when it's really cold, it might get a little cold depending on the space. The living room and bedroom are fully air-conditioned so there is no problem.
