Description of the house
Entering off a main street, down a Kyoto-style alley, a Buddhist Jizo statue awaits you in front of the house. Entering Gion Jizo, the ground floor consists of a relaxing open space, two single beds, desk, bathtub and a shower with a garden view, and restroom.

The neighborhood
Gion is the oldest best preserved example of traditional Kyoto architecture. Our typically Kyotoite house is located 200 yards from the famous Hanamikoji street, which crosses Gion.

We had a wonderful time staying in this property. It was quiet and super close to (in my opinion) the best area in Kyoto. Claire was always quick to respond with any questions and it was exactly like the discription.
Would definitly stay again

Very cute place and very clean and tidy. The location was perfect. Just a couple of blocks from Gion district. Communication was very easy with the property manager, Claire. She gave clear directions and was prompt at answering any questions I had. Thank you!
We loved this two story home. It was tucked back in an alley and very quiet and private, yet very close to many things! Really a great location.
Claire, our house manager, was very friendly and helpful although we didn’t have the opportunity to meet. Instructions to get there were clear. Everything was very clean. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

Dear Olivia-san, Thank you so much for sharing your helpful and kind review! I hope to have the chance to welcome you again. Gion Jizo will always be there in Kyoto for you in the future! - House Supervisor Claire
The location is wonderful. It was so easy to walk so many places from Gion, to a bus stop, the subway station and the modern covered shopping area. Plenty of restaurants and even temples nearby. My husband and I stayed her with our 2 children (18 and 21). The stairs are a bit steep to the upstairs area and the only bathroom is downstairs. The kitchen is upstairs. We had stayed in small hotel rooms until this point and it was nice to have a bit more space. There is a washer and 4 room air conditioners and a really nice bath/shower with a jetted tub.
Once we got the hang of the amenities we really enjoyed this property.
