This was by far our favourite accommodation in Japan. The manager was amazing and the accommodation was spacious, traditional but will all of the modern facilities. We loved it and wished we had spent more time here. In fact, once we moved to Osaka, we travelled back twice to spend time in this area and a little town called Sanjo.

We loved this place and would stay here again when we travel back to Kyoto. The place was super clean and quiet. It felt so safe and train stations were in walking distance. We even found an awesome Korean restaurant right around the corner from the place. Also the Lawson store was just a minute away from here and open 24 hours. The staffing were also extra helpful and super sweet.

Such a great place to stay! Was super clean and more than comfortable for 2 people. 8 min walk to 2 train stations with convenience stores nearby. Felt like a super safe place to walk to at night. Made our trip to Kyoto a great time!

Great find!
This is a great place at a reasonable price. It was nice to have three beds and was plenty of space for three adults. The washing machine was very useful and the balcony was the perfect place to hang our clothes. The staff are amazing!

Clean apartment style room. Washer included which was nice. I didn’t know until later that Japan likes having clothes hang dried but luckily the laundromat down the street was very convenient
