The location is excellent, just 100 meters walk from Exit 3 of Gojo Station on the Karasuma Line. If you want to carry your luggage, there is an elevator at Exit 6. There is a 7-11 at the intersection when you go out and turn right, and there is a FRESCO supermarket diagonally opposite.There are 2 single beds and 1 tatami room, and 1 toilet on the first and second floors (the toilet on the second floor has a sensor-flushed toilet). The living room and kitchen are on the second floor. Daily necessities are all available. The key point is that each The place (even the kitchen, bathroom and other water areas) is very clean. The room has heating and air purifiers. The closet in the living room opens and there are board games 😆I made an appointment using Google Maps’ instant messaging. When I asked questions, they were answered quickly. Even when I asked where the hair dryer was at 12 o’clock in the evening, they were answered immediately🥹 (even the electric wand is included)It was a pity that three friends and I only stayed here for 2 nights this time. We all liked this Japanese-style house, and it felt like we were really living in Japan. Recommended for 3 or more people.

I highly recommend the best accommodation 😊👍 If you want to stay in a Japanese home in Kyoto, be sure to book this accommodation. I arrived around 12 o'clock on the day I crossed from Osaka to Kyoto, and the cleaning person at the accommodation took care of my luggage, so I was able to sightsee and check in comfortably. Bathroom 1 (where you wash your face and shower) Toilet compartment 2 (It was separate from the washing area and the toilet compartment. It was possible to wash your hands in the toilet compartment.) Bedroom 3, Kitchen 1, Living room 1, and the cleanliness was good, and towels, razors, and makeup were provided. There were plenty of amenities, including cotton and eye pads (there was a dryer and washing machine!). The blankets were thick and the pillows were soft, which was nice. If you turn on the air conditioner installed in each room for a few hours, the room doesn't get that cold. Kotatsu on the second floor? I especially liked it because it was so warm😊 It was nice to be able to control the water pressure and temperature. It was perfect for a family of 3 to 5 people. It was easy to move around as Gojo Station was right in front of the accommodation, and there were quite a few restaurants and convenience stores such as KFC, curry restaurant, and pork cutlet restaurant nearby, so the location was also good. If I go to Kyoto again, I think I will stay at this hotel again without hesitation ^~^

This was the best accommodation during my trip to Japan.I don't know why the rating is 9.6Who on earth are the people who didn't give 10 points but deducted 0.4 points?If you can speak at least a little bit of Japanese, I think you should go here instead of the hotel.Of course, the owner, Nari, speaks English too.It was more satisfying to go and look at the accommodation app photos. The location is also great. It's near a convenience store and delicious shops.

I used it when I went on a trip to Kyoto.It was clean well and the interior design was very nice. The operator was very kind and gave us guidance and recommended tourist attractions in Kyoto, which made our sightseeing more enjoyable.I will use it again the next time I travel to Kyoto.

A two-story guest house for rent. It's spacious, and every corner is clean and well-maintained. The amenities, kitchen and bath supplies are well thought out, and the plumbing facilities are also good. The bathroom is also spacious. It's more comfortable than a hotel.The location is also great. 2 minutes walk to Gojo subway and bus station. There are many delicious restaurants nearby (Walden Woods Kyoto, a cafe I had seen in a magazine, and the popular Patisserie S were also nearby). I also walked to Shijo and Gion for meals. It's a wonderful place that makes you want to live!
