There is a place to eat a short distance away, so it was a very convenient location.Unfortunately, the heating didn't work very well.

It was my first time using it.As for the facility, it got -1 star because it was far from Kyoto Station and there was no washer/dryer.However, there are restaurants, supermarkets, and public baths around the inn, so it was very convenient.The owner also went out of his way to greet us when we checked out.He was a very friendly and nice person.I have a large family, so I'm grateful that I can rent out a whole house without any hesitation.This time I was unable to stay at the inn for a short time, but I would like to explore the neighborhood by bicycle next time.

This is my second time using it.It is also convenient that the bus stop is nearby and there are several inexpensive paid parking lots nearby.Kinkaku-ji, Ryoan-ji, Ninna-ji, Hirano Shrine, and Kitano Tenmangu are also within walking distance, so you can visit and visit them at your leisure.Randen's Kitano-Hakubaicho Station is also nearby, so access to Arashiyama is perfect.It's located in a quiet residential area, so it's nice to have a quiet night.There are several family restaurants, supermarkets, and convenience stores, so of course you can get takeout, but it's also nice to be able to spend time while cooking👍.
