My husband and I stayed there for 5 nights with 4 teenage kids (the house could fit one more). It is tastefully renovated house with all brand new appliances, however it still preserves the traditional ambience. We were really impressed. We also enjoyed its location close to the hiking/biking trail along the river: kids were jogging there in the morning and in the evening we took a 15-20 min walk home from busy district. Would highly recommend the place!

Great location and exceptional host. Everything clean and organized. Older style Japanese home with all the modern amenities. Super family friendly, great for babies and children.

A very clean home. Toilets are very clean and well kept. Very central..15min walk to Kyoto Central Station. Location is convenient.

Our extended family (3 generations) stayed for a week and found the house to be perfect for us. Kazuya was very helpful suggesting sights near the house and the buses/subway/train are all within easy walking distance. The house was very clean and had everything we needed to feel at home. The location threw us at first as it is on a busy street amid commercial storefronts but don't be deterred. It ended up being perfect because it is close to restaurants, markets and transportation options. The little hole-in-the-wall grill restaurant right next to the house was the highlight of our son's trip.
