The room and accommodation are very pretty, but it's cold in the winter and scary at night. The owner is friendly. It's not soundproofed, so I recommend it to those who want to stay quietly.

It's really pretty! You can change coffee and brew tea. The staff is friendly, and you can rent a bicycle so you can get around like the locals. If I come to Kyoto, I think I'll come here again.

One of the experiences I sought in Japan was staying in traditional Japanese architecture, and this house, with its history of over 100 years, beautifully captures the early Japanese style. Walking on the wooden floors, you can hear the comforting creaking sounds, enhancing the overall accommodation experience. They generously provide free bicycles for use, and each guest receives a Kyoto public bath ticket. You can bring the provided toiletries to the public bath for a refreshing soak. Considering the price, it's an incredibly cost-effective way to immerse yourself in the Japanese culture.The inn offers a handmade booklet introducing local attractions, though the font might be a bit small, making it challenging for those with weaker eyesight.In the morning, they serve onigiri for 400 Japanese Yen per person, featuring two different flavors along with miso soup – a truly authentic Japanese breakfast. If you appreciate this style, the place warmly welcomes you. This is not a sponsored endorsement; I'm simply sharing my personal experience with friends. Of course, if 日暮莊 (the inn) would offer me a discount, I'd be more than happy! 😄

Wonderfull place if u want to experience classic Japanese house that is in good shape. Staff speaks really good english and supper helpful if needed also super friendly just to chat.Dont come here if u are a sensitive sleeper, since walls are thin, so you can mostly hear what other guests are talking. But no sound from outside.Location is good, near public bath house, super market, metro.Realy recomend for japan lovers!

They were so kind and helpful. The staff is wonderful. The place is comfortable, very clean and with nice common areas. The garden and the flower arrangements are lovely! Sound insulation could improve but that's just nit picking. Totally recommended
