A Taste of Living as a Local
The guest house was a great break from the bustle other areas in Kyoto but easily accessible to all the main attractions. You get a real sense of what it’s like to live as a local while in walking distance to Daitokuji one of the less touristy but beautiful temple complexes.
Shimpei is a wonderful host who goes out of his way to suggest restaurants and activities. He is always available to help with such hospitality.
We highly recommend this guest house!

The property was very clean and well-maintained, very comfortable, and stocked with lots of amenities to make our stay more enjoyable.
