おすすめ宿です。

個人でやられているようなので、チェックイン前に必ず宿の方に直接、チェックインの日時を伝えておいた方がスムーズだと思います。テレビがないのでお部屋での楽しめる物を何か用意されるといいと思います。 築100年以上の町屋に泊まれる機会などなかなかないですし、宿の方がとにかく親切な良い方です。掃除も行き届いていて清潔感があり、かなりおすすめです。

Beautiful

A beautiful traditional house located in a lovely neighbourhood. It is very close to Sanjo-dori, Nijo-jo castle & Shibori museum. I found it very easy to get to Nishiki market as well as Nishijin textile centre from here. Even getting to Arashiyama was easy (35min approx). The house itself is charming. I got to stay in a ground floor room at the back of the house, which looked exactly as in the photos. It also had a small window on a floor level (which was interesting) looking into the inside garden. I found it very comfortable to sleep in futon style bed, which you have to make everyday yourself - the staff can show you on the first day if you like. The communal area is spotless as there is always a member of staff during the day to look after the house.

I really loved this experience of staying in a traditional house. I especially loved the pillow, it moulded to my body and was very comfortable. It was lovely and the staff were wonderful. I will stay again should I come to kyoto in the future

Great attention! The place is really old traditional kyoto style. For those who looks forward to an special stay, this would be a wonderful experience. Very next to Šanjo market and the train station. Also posible to rent a bike provided by the hosts.

moldy and small

the room was way too small for four people. In bad condition. We left after one night, the owners were not open for any discussion or to give a refund. There are a lot of better places in Kyoto.

一個很好的傳統日式住宿體驗

一直很想嘗試傳統日本住宿，這家住宿價錢相宜合理，店主是說英文的，溝通容易，親切友善，給到的資料也很詳細充足。這裡跟Family Mart很近，晚上買東西回來很方便。跟JR二條城站和京阪鐵路二條城前站都很近。這裡比起其他酒店更能體會傳統日式居住環境，雖然設施比較簡樸，但可以讓城市人暫時脫離繁忙的生活，還可以學到日式床墊的整理方法。早上去洗手間還可以看到貓咪，覺得好開心~ 值得推薦~

It was good. but toilet is uncomfortable. and from 11:00 to 16:00, they never open. so you can't leave your luggage at that time. Host was so kind and room condition is clean. That's nice.

여름에 게다는 괜찮지만 겨울에 게다는 시끄럽네요

겨울여행이라 난방기구에 대한 배려가 부족했습니다 일본특유의 다다미방이라 추웠고 난방기구를 켜도 방안공기는 따뜻했지만 이불 속 난방에 대한 센스가 좀 부족했습니다 유탄포와 같은 센스가 있었으면 다다미방에서의 추억은 남달랐을거 같네요

Nice stay, Good Access to Subway

It was a nice stay, with a traditional bed set up on the floor. We were happy it was so close to the subway, and was also very close to Nijo castle. I wouldn't recommend the hotel if you have young children that would have a hard time being quiet because it is easy to hear guests in other room through the paper doors. The beds were a bit hard, and that was my only real complaint.
