I stayed here with my daughter and dog. It has a chic and retro feel, and you can relax while listening to nostalgic records. Also, the kitchen is fully equipped and easy to use. There are several supermarkets nearby, so it's good to cook your own meals, and it's also recommended for long-term stays. There are many rooms and they are spacious, allowing you to take a good rest in a quiet environment. The room and bathroom were very clean and the house was relaxing.

Guesthouse Lokokokoro is an inviting and cozy place to stay in Kyoto. The location was perfect for us: a quiet area close to transit options, shops, fine dining and nature. All of the necessary mod cons—efficient kitchen, washer/dryer, futons, western-style beds, a/c—are combined with traditional elements of shoji screens, tatami mats, and chabudai and zabutons for dining. A gracious host and a wonderful experience!
