Un lieu splendide pour rencontrer d’autres voyageurs et se reposer. Ce qui rend ce lieu encore plus mémorable est Papa & Mama qui sont toujours là pour vous avec beaucoup d’attention.

멋진 숙소입니다!

조용한 주택가에 위치하고 있습니다.　교토 역에서는 걸어서 30분 정도 잡으시면 넉넉할 겁니다.　철도 박물관이나 아쿠아리움 쪽으로 가면 금방 도착하실 수 있습니다. 체크 인 할 때부터 묵는 동안 친절히 대해 주셔서 정말 좋았습니다.　일본 전통 가옥 분위기가 물씬 나는 점도 매력적이었고요.　다음에도 망설이지 않고 다시 묵을 겁니다.　추천합니다.

Nos llevaron en coche hasta la estación el. último día... increíble de verdad. Nos hicieron fotos de recuerdo que luego nos mandaron al correo. No os arrepentiréis.

저는 한국사람입니다! 일단, 사장님 부부 두분이 너무나도 친절해서 감사했습니다. 일본에서 유학했었지만, 제대로 일본 전통가옥에서 생활해본적은 없었습니다. 전체적으로 집이 이쁘고, 분위기가 여기가 일본이라는 생각이 확실히 들었습니다. 또 교토에 간다면 반드시 다시 가고싶어요!
