An amazing experience! The stay was very well organized and the friendly owners gave us a lot of useful information about activities and sights. The location is fantastic, located in the quiet outskirts of Kyoto, with a direct bus connection into the city. Within walking distance you will find a convenience store and an Onsen. The cottage offers plenty of space and has air conditioning throughout, perfect for a comfortable experience in an authentic old Japanese cottage. Highly recommended!

Although it is located in Arashiyama, it was an inn where you could experience both sightseeing and the life of local people! The moment you walk through the front door, you will feel a sense of security, as if you have returned home.The smiling faces of the owner and his wife are so impressive that I can't help but feel at home.If you walk around Arashiyama early in the morning, you will experience the unique scents and sounds of Kyoto that you would not normally experience.It was the best 2 nights and 3 days! I will definitely visit again!

This is an inn where the owner's hospitality is so great that you just want to say ``I'm home.'' Personally, I really enjoy going out for a morning walk with the owner. During this stay, I walked through an empty bamboo forest to Toriimoto and bought fried tofu for breakfast at a tofu shop. It was so delicious.An inn that is somewhere in between living with tourists. Please give it a try! ! it's recommended!
