The property offered a unique opportunity to stay in a historic building with a unique story. Lots of interesting antique stores in the vicinity and good access to transportation nodes.

Great place in the middle of Gion
Great authentic Kyoto home! We truly enjoyed our stay; location next to many restaurants was super convenient, sleeping at futons, taking a wooden hinoki bath and enjoying Japanese breakfast was a great experience.

This place is elegant and charming. The host welcomed us warmly. It has a small library and my kids were thrilled at its comic book collection.

Amazing stay
Loved it. The place used to be a sake brewery and the place smells like sake. The sake bath was also very nice. The place was very clean and special.

Best honeymoon ever!
Our hostess was incredibly sweet and helpful. The house was more than enough space and in a perfect location. It was a godsend after staying in a tiny room in Tokyo! We would absolutely stay there again. 10/10.

This is a very special place - we absolutely loved staying here and felt very honored to be able to so! It is an excellent location, close to everything we needed including two train stations, restaurants and shops, laundromat, two convenience stores, and lovely walks. We especially enjoyed walking along the river canal in the evening. The place itself is historic and wonderfully appointed with antiques, as well as very spacious, the most spacious place we stayed in throughout our long trip through Japan. Our host was very kind and we lacked for nothing. I don't recommend it for those with mobility issues, as the stairs to the second floor where the bedroom and toilet are located are steep and narrow. Otherwise, if you would like to experience a little of 'old' Kyoto and have an apartment to yourself, this is it!

호스트도 친절하고 숙소도 아주 청결하고 고풍스런 분위가가 좋았습니다. 다만 라디에이터인지 탁탁 소리가 나서 잠을 잘 못잔 친구가 있었습니다만 위차나 여러가지로 만족스럽습니다.
