Guest House Atagoya

A beguiling charming traditional stay in an enchanted low rise part of Kyoto near the river and the bamboo forest. Host could not be more helpful or courteous.

This is the perfect place to stay in Aryshima, very easy and comfortable stay, so close to the train station and to the bamboo forest and the surrounding area. Fabulous host who is very accommodating and provides great local recommendations.

Kenji, the host for the guesthouse was a pleasure to communicate with. Friendly, helpful and responsive, you couldn’t have asked for a better host. The lodging is a traditional Japanese home set up that helps you immerse into history and how families still live in Japan (and East Asia). The location is walking distance to Arashiyama Bamboo Forest, temples and tourist zone without being in the thick of it. It’s simple, no frills and comfortable enough accommodation at a convenient location. You have access to fridge and simple kitchen with shared bathroom. I never ran into the other occupants during my stay.

I loved staying at the Atagoya Guesthouse! Comfortable, traditional guesthouse in a quiet neighborhood. Great location. Near JR line and popular sites. Kenji was an exceptional host! Showed great concern for my wellbeing. Assisted above & beyond with bus schedule/directions and train ticket guidance. The kitchen has all the basics. Private eating area in the bedroom. No shared living space. This was a lovely refuge from the busy days of sightseeing.
