Excellent Location!
We really enjoyed staying at this property! The location is super close to the subway, and the check-in process was extremely friendly! They also provided us with specific instructions on the appliances, and big brand shampoo & conditioner for us to use. There was also high quality detergent for us to do laundry as we continued on during our backpacking trip! highly recommend this place for people looking a traditional Japanese place to stay!

Why they chose this property

I liked the typical 'eel' shape as called in Kyoto (the front side is not so wide and the house extends in length). I thought it could be so nice to preserve this townhouse and make our guests even for few days to live as Kyoto people lived for centuries with traditions plus a more today comfort in the daily house use.

What makes this property unique

The benefits of this townhouse is keeping the traditional sides and add modern touch to satisfy our international guests needs, and also is the location: in central Kyoto but in a quiet street. At five minutes walking distance there is Nijo Castle, where the Shogun lived, old more than 400 hundreds years. Many other places to visit are at a walking distance, like Rokkakudo Temple called the navel of Kyoto connected with the famous ikebana school Ikenobo, the Imperial Park, or colourfull Nishiki food market. Bus stops are very close as banks, post office, museums, galleries, every kind of restaurants, cafes, bars...and more and more!
