Used for overnight stay after Inazuma Rock Festival. It's not that great because it's cheap. I guess it's worth the price. But in terms of being able to stay cheaply, it's tolerable.

Thank you for staying with me for one night.The room was a little old, but I thought it was a good place to stay because the price was cheap. There was no bath in the room, so we used the bathhouse on the first floor.When you go up to the roof, there is an observation space where you can relax.

I was unable to move due to the typhoon, so they kindly extended my stay. I would also like to thank you for your help in researching the Shinkansen.Some rooms have a view of Nishi Honganji from the window, and even have a rooftop terrace! Also, the bus stop for Kinkaku-ji and Kiyomizu-dera is less than a minute's walk away, so it's very convenient. It takes about 10-15 minutes to walk from the station, but I think it's a great place to use as a base to explore Kyoto. It's a tatami room, so I think it will be a valuable experience for guests from overseas as well! !

I stayed here with three of my friends, all of us were foreigners. The staff was very kind and helpful. The building was clean and neat and the bath was well-maintained. The place is on a quieter street that only gets busy mid-day. It's an easy walk to the nearest train station. It was only a week into the New Year that we were there and they were quite busy. Despite them being busy, the place still felt quiet and relaxing, I thing that is due to the vibe the staff sets in place. I'd love to go back! The temple across the street was interesting to walk past every day as well!

I like the traditional Japanese tatami room, but it's more uncomfortable than a bed. The bathroom is so small that it's inconvenient to use, but it's nice that there's a public bathhouse on the first floor. …

I stayed there for two nights and three days. As everyone says, it's old. The bath is also a small bath. The unit bath in the room is also small.but! I liked it. Both parents and children agree, ``It's certainly old, but it's calming.'' Maybe it's just us being poor, but the 10 tatami room is beautiful and you can see the west side. The futon isn't that dusty, is it? The corner was clean, and although there were quite a few overnight guests, it was quiet. It might be a hidden gem.In terms of software, there is free coffee. Juices are also cheap. There is a mini candy corner with cute yukatas that the kids loved.There are bicycle rentals nearby, which is convenient. Now I can go sightseeing around Kyoto. There's also a delicious-looking xiaolongbao restaurant that I couldn't get into due to reservations, and since the restaurants aren't in front of the station, there are a lot of hidden gems. However, popular restaurants require reservations.To be honest, there was a smoking area right next door, so it smelled like smoke.Also, depending on the time of day, the bathroom would be full of overnight guests, and the hot water wouldn't come out all the time, so it was hard to shampoo!If I was traveling alone, I would have stayed for about a week and visited various temples by bicycle from here! ! Thank you, Azumaya-san.
