I used it on my graduation trip. The townhouse is two-story and has many rooms, so it's too spacious for 4 people! There was a kitchen, a kotatsu, and a cute Japanese-style bath that was great. The location is far from the station, so I took a taxi, but since it's not near the station, it's not noisy, and there's nothing nearby, and there are bars, so you can have plenty of fun.I made great memories with my favorite friends!

The kitchen was easy to use and the bathroom was made of cypress wood and was very comfortable. The location was great as it was within walking distance of Kiyomizu-dera Temple and Higashi Hongan-ji Temple, giving me a wide range of walks to take every morning. I would like to stay again❗
