I was grateful that the host provided me with a lot of tourist information. Bath towels and a hair dryer were provided in the bathroom. I'm glad that the host was so considerate.The guest rooms are separated only by sliding doors, so this is not suitable for people who are sensitive to noise. The sound of water hitting the sink echoes throughout the house, and you can enjoy a traditional Japanese atmosphere in this small private house. Many pieces of furniture are unfamiliar to us now.30 minutes north by bus from the city center. In the morning, the bus will be full.

This is the perfect place to get yourself a full japanese experience. It is a traditional house with a few rooms kept original with tatami and shoji doors. There is a lovely backyard where to access shower room and bathroom. Everything cozy and very clean. Takuya-san, the owner of the guesthouse is very friendly and warm. He gave us amazing tips and information about the neighbor and places to see. You can feel how he cares about his guests and their experience. He drove us to a temple which otherwise we wouldn't have been able to see because about to close and prepared fresh fruit and tea for us. He drew a few beautiful maps of the neighbor that we found in the room and he also explained them to us so we could ask questions and pick the best places for us to visit. Great ramen restaurant and sushi belt place in the area. Thank to our great host, we fully enjoy Kyoto and the neighbor. Stay at the Murasakian, you won't regret it. I promise!

I stayed at Murasakian for 7 days. Initially I only booked the place for the experience of classical Japanese house. I surely did get what I wanted, but I feel I got so much more. The rooms are a bit dated but that is what I anticipated. …
