This is a very tasteful townhouse inn. Five people stayed here. You can stay in Kyoto and enjoy the view of Yasaka Tower from the second floor window. I would like to use it again.

In front of Kyoto Station Hachijo Exit Avanti🚖It takes about 20 minutes and ¥2000 to arrive at the Yasaka-dori entrance.The recommended destination is opposite the Kyoto Bank Higashiyama Branch.You can arrive there in a few minutes on foot.Be careful as the nameplate of Yasakaan in the foreground stands out.Pre-paid (on-site payment possible)at check-inSensen's delivery/breakfast fee for 2 people: ¥5,200 (I vaguely remember 💦)Kyoto accommodation tax ¥2000 for 2 people.(Izumisen's Shojin bento is carefully made and has a gentle taste.The soup is poured piping hot from the pot❗)Tables and chairs as soon as you enterThe cupboard (back right) and kitchen are on the left.Toilet in the back left = I was surprised that it was fully automatic (lol)And nostalgic steep stairs.On the second floor, there is a living room with a view of Yasaka Tower and a twin bedroom.The bed was soft and I slept well.However, if you don't put up your water bottle before falling asleep, you'll end up waking up when you get off (lol)Back on the first floor, there is a living room, and in the back there is a footbath❗, a small garden, a bath, and a washroom.The footbath fills up automatically❗Of course, I really enjoyed it (lol)I was able to take a bath while looking out at the inner garden.It's surprisingly cool and you don't have to worry about the noise around you.⭕There is a tap water faucet and a water purifier faucet.There is also sufficient cutlery.I was very happy with the welcome drink of Fushimi's underground water.⭕They had oolong tea, Taiwanese black tea, sencha, and brown rice tea, and each one was delicious😃⚠️However, I didn't know where to put the tea leaves, so I threw it away in the plastic bag I brought with me.⚠️I didn't like air conditioning, so I wanted a fan.I left it open, but I wish there was a screen door on the second floor.There is also a side table where you can place a plastic bottle.By the way, after I calmed down, I went to a summer festival and got some take-out yakisoba and mitarashi dango from a food stall.I really enjoyed the feeling of staying there as if I were living there.That's right, if you like coffee, we recommend the nearby Arabica Coffee Higashiyama store.We bought iced coffee and cafe au lait and took a stroll.Anyway, next time I'll take care of you at Kamohan❗
