Nice traditional style Japanese house. Not super far from Kyoto station. Very nice shower/bath area. Futons were very thin and not much cushioning. Overall a pleasant stay
Property is clean and nicely decorated. The staff is friendly. If you're used to western style sleeping accommodations it may be a little difficult to adjust to an eastern style. Given that this was a whole house in a neighborhood, the front door lock was a liitle too flimsy for my peice of mind, however the management may feel that was adequate. Overall, this is a very nice property to experience a Japanese style home.
The house has 2 floors, and the stairs are very oblique. Not convenient to elders and children. But it was a good experience to stay. And the facilities are good.
GREAT place to stay if you want a taste of Japanese Living, and close enough to the Kyoto Station to walk. We arrived in Kyoto earlier than the check-in time, so the staff was kind enough to keep our luggage at their office, then deliver it to the house for us so that we didn't have to go back to the office to pick it up. My only recommendation would be that you ask the staff to turn the heat on before you arrive if you are staying there during the winter... the house was freezing when we got there, and we had to wear our coats and hats for some time before it was warm enough to dress down.
