Perfectly situated and decorated for Kyoto experience
We hired 3 separate houses/units of this property for 3 families traveling together. Each unit had a unique charm, and was very thoughtfully equipped and decorated. We absolutely loved being close to some of Japan's treasured temples and shrines, with so many amazing options for calm strolls. The host was very communicative and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable. Highly recommended if you want a place to escape from the crowd in the central Kyoto.

The Best Property!
Of all the properties we stayed in Japan this one was by far the best! I hope we can find this available during our next visit to Kyoto! Kei and Ayumi were extremely attentive and accomplished hosts. Thank you both for the VIP treatment!

A very nice, clean place, right in the shadow of a temple. They had just finished renovations, and everything was ready as promised! Wonderful and responsive hosts met our taxi, and handled the few early questions quickly. New appliances and appointments. A sweet little coffee cafe 2 blocks away (Coffee Club) was handy, and we found great bike rentals at the Starbucks/ Bookstore 6 blocks away near the Heian Shrine near Okazaki Park. We'd stay again!!

A superb property in a wonderful location! Our family throughly enjoyed this property and we wish we had booked longer. Kei is a wonderful host and personally met us at the property.

I usually don't write reviews but I had to because this place is absolutely amazing, exceeding all our expectations. It is one of the rare occasions where it looks even better in person than in the pictures. It is a traditional Japanese home which has been completely and beautifully remodeled. There is a traditional Japanese tatami room which we loved. We are so glad we decided not to pay for an expensive Ryokan and stayed here instead because we still got the experience of sleeping in tatami room. The other room has a Western style bed and is also very lovely. There is a wonderful bathtub to soak in after a long day of seeing the temples. The place is very clean. The location is the best. Walking distance to temples and Gion district as well as subway and bus stop. Kei was a wonderful host. His wife and assistant met us the first day to show us the place. His wife gave treats to our children which was such a lovely gesture. We will definately stay here again and highly recommend it to our friends and family.

About the host

Hosted by Kei N

Host profile image
Hi. My name is Kei. I was born and raised in Kyoto. My family has lived here for more than 250 years. I renovated my houses and started B&B simply because it's very fantastic to meet new guests and to have conversations with them. As a genuine Kyotoite, it would be great if I can show you the core beauty of Kyoto.
