遥華-Haruka House

Haruka and her Husband are so friendly people. We felt us welcomed and they explained everything. The Location of the house is perfect. Supermarkets, restaurants, everything is around, but it‘s very quite. We would definitely recommend!

Really pretty and functional apartment, in a nice calm location only minutes away from public transport. The room was comfortable and the apt had everything ww could possibly need (+ washing machine!). The hosts are a lovely and welcoming couple, we really appreciated them! Look out for the cats :)

We had a wonderful four days at Haruka’s house. The house is located in a beautiful, quiet, and peaceful neighborhood, very close to both bus and metro lines. Its location is only two train stops from central Kyoto, so it is very convenient. Since the house is in a central part of Kyoto, it was easy to reach many places such as Gion, Karasuma, Arashiyama Bamboo Forest, Fushimi Inari, and Kyoto Station, with fairly similar travel times. Also, because the house was only a five-minute walk from the train line we used when coming from Osaka, it was very convenient for us. The house was generally clean, the garden was well maintained, and Haruka was very hospitable and helpful. When we first arrived, she explained how to get around and gave us general information about Kyoto. She also sent us the locations of nearby restaurants. The restaurants we tried based on Haruka’s recommendations were very good and more affordable than the ones in central Kyoto. She also showed us where the large supermarkets nearby were. She gave us her phone number so that we could easily reach her whenever we had a question, and she helped us every time. She even explained how we could get from Kyoto to Tokyo after our stay. When we arrived in Tokyo, she sent us a very sweet message asking whether we had reached our place comfortably. For us, Haruka’s house was a very lovely accommodation experience. The washing machine, the beautiful garden, the overall cleanliness of the house, and the lovely tatami room — which my son especially liked — were all great advantages. If I visit Kyoto again, I would definitely stay here again. Overall, it is a wonderful place to experience a Japanese family atmosphere and a traditional Japanese home.

Haruka House was homey, immaculately clean with a quiet location and close to transportation. The owners were very kind and caring. We enjoyed our stay here!
