Very nice vintage like rooms, you feel like you are living in a previous, simpler time, although all the facilities are modern and convenient. The owner was really helpful and fun to be around throughout the whole stay, the guesthouse was really nicely decorated and the cat super kawaii. He even let us play at the pachinko machine and taught us how to win! The guesthouse is a 10 mintue walk to anything you would ever need, from food, bathhouse, bar and especially the most important, the main station of Kyoto! All in all, it was a great experience, I can't wait to come again!

For a long stay, come to Parkside Umekoji. You have a cooking range, a microwave, a washing machine...... the works. Good places to eat if you go along the road towards station.

It is a shame that in Japan there are still places like this that detract from a clean and neat country. I don't understand how the authorities don't close it, and on top of that, nothing cheap.

This is the guesthouse we stayed at during our Kyoto trip. It was located in a residential area of ​​Kyoto, so I was able to relax quietly and comfortably. The host was very friendly. It was close to Kyoto Station by footpath, so it was very convenient to move around during the trip. I would like to visit again next time I visit Kyoto.

It is about 15 minutes from Kyoto Station. The street where the accommodation is located is very pretty and the owner is very friendly. The cat that lives on the first floor of the house seems to like people a lot. The room, toilet, and shower room are very clean, so I highly recommend it.
