This was our first visit to Japan/Kyoto, and we wanted to choose a rental that had an authentic Japanese feel to it. This place did not disappoint. It was very nice to meet the property manager upon check-in, who was able to give us instructions on how to use the house. And the bonus bottle of sake from the host was a wonderful surprise, and just what we needed after a difficult day of travel. It was a tucked-away enclave, so we are happy that the property manager had good communication with us and gave good directions to find it. Our only complaint is that one of the bathrooms had a plumbing leak, but I have no doubt that the issue was addressed after we left. The property was otherwise in good maintenance and clean. We would definitely recommend staying here.

This was an amazing place. The host and his staff were kind, informative, incredibly responsive and just absolute pleasures to deal with. The property was clean, the beds very comfortable and it is amazing to have 3 bathrooms with showers for each room. The large table in the dining room was a great place for us to get together at the beginning and end of the day, and the location was perfect. The train station and a Lawsons that is open 24 hours are a short walk away. A lot of landmarks are close by and it is a great jumping off spot for many more. We could have not been more happy and satisfied with our stay.

Great location, walkable to local subway line, Gion, temples and stores. A bit hard to find initially but once we understood the area it was easy. The neighborhood is charming. Home is very clean and comfortable. Front door has a code which makes having a group really convenient, no keys to manage. Air conditioning was fantastic during some very hot days. Owners assistant was incredibly helpful. We wanted to see a firework festival and she was instrumental in getting the tickets for us. Overall I highly recommend this home.

A large group of friends and I had a wonderful stay in Kyoto here. Our host, Kei, was very communicative throughout the process, and made the check-in and check-out very easy. The location is perfect for exploring all of Kyoto’s shrines and temples, within walking distance to Gion, and very convenient to take public transportation everywhere else. The house itself was sparkling clean and very comfortable for our group of seven people. They took great care to provide translations for all of the appliances and good recommendations for local cafes and restaurants. We hope to stay here again when we come back to Kyoto!

The home is exactly as pictured. The owner is a great communicator and host. The best part was that the home was equipped with a washer and dryer for our clothes! This was so helpful as we were traveling with our 3 month old daughter. Definitely recommend!!
