The air-conditioned holiday home consists of 3 bedrooms, a living room, a fully equipped kitchen with a microwave and a kettle, and 1 bathroom with a hot tub and slippers. Towels and bed linen are offered in the holiday home. For added privacy, the accommodation features a private entrance.

Excellent location, fantastic house. Convenient to everything you want or could need. James, the owner, goes above and beyond to help you enjoy your stay at the house and time in kyoto. His guidebook on what buses to take to attractions was incredibly helpful, and the wall map to show what attraction is in which direction. The 3 bedrooms upstairs allowed our family of 5 to have space, and the upstairs and downstairs toilet was very helpful. The house is located from the west exit at kyoto station, near JR office and trains.

The 5-star holiday home features garden views and is 1.3 km from Gion Shijo Station. Boasting family rooms, this property also provides guests with a terrace.

Amazing location and incredibly accommodating hosts. Unlike other big hotels you really get a sense that everyone there cares and wants to ensure the enjoyment of your stay. We were travelling with a 10 month old and they ensured we had everything we needed. The location cannot be beat right in the heart of Gion, we found ourselves not worrying about the crowds since we were right in the centre of the action and could explore the area whenever we wanted.

The couple that run the space are super sweet and accommodating- we were traveling with our 5 month old and they made the stay very comfortable for us. The location is great to explore the bamboo forest nearby and they gave us lots of great tips to see and eat in the area. The space itself also has loads of cute details and the amenities are very clean and new.

Quiet peaceful side of Kyoto, not too far from the station. 10 min JR from Arishiyama. The host was exceptionally hospitable, even booking us a taxi to a popular local Yakatori-ya that we thoroughly enjoyed. The experience as a whole has been one of, if not our favorite times in Japan on our holiday so far. We wish we could have stayed longer!

    The building has an open courtyard with fireplaces and cozy areas to sit and chat to other travelers. They offer a free drink every day which is a nice touch. Great location behind the station, and very quiet at night. Room size was ok, and we had a good size balcony.

    This is a wonderful place and anyone who is looking for an authentic ryokan experience should not be put off by the shared bathroom facilities - they are comfortable and spotlessly clean. The food is wonderful and the hosts are totally charming. The inn backs on to a river and the village and the countryside around is very attractive. It’s very easy to get to on public transport and a pleasant bus ride up the river valley from the metro station in Kyoto. Don’t hesitate to. Highly recommended.

    I liked everything. I have been staying here once in 2019, and it was still as cozy as i remembered. The location is close to the train station, and the common room is super nice and cosy. The bunk beds are big and has privacy curtains, which i loved. I stayed during New Years and the host had arranged New Years dinner for the guests. I did not join but i though that was very kind and a nice offer for all of us travelling during the holidays.

    The hot tub and the staff were top notch. I really loved that they were so accommodating and kind, always willing to explain and when it came to language barriers, extra measures were taken so that both parties understood each other. The hot tub featured 3 tubs, 2 heated and one cold, along with a sauna room. The locker and shower facilities were great and unexpectantly had a great time.
