9.4Verified guest“We had a good stay in a traditional Kyoto house. The charming owner went out of her way, even stopping passing Geishas for a photo. Location was handy for Hirano Shrine and bus stops; rooms were spacious and kimono rental was available. The house was clean with modern bathrooms. Thin walls and street noise were minor issues, but overall a wonderful, authentic experience.”
