The place is a very cozy traditional house. It’s close to every thing and walkable. It’s very close to the market which is good. The host is very nice. The house is all shared space. Cons- is that if you are someone who is a light sleeper is not for you ( but everyone are respectful in terms of noise/quite time) also its a shared bathroom meaning you have to time when you are going to take a shower.

Friendly staff; good location; chilled vibes. Beds had the essentials - personal light, curtain and electrical sockets; with a bit of extra space for storage. Traditional thin Japanese mattress but I found it comfortable enough. Good shower. All in all an excellent value hostel - the only improvement that could be made would be a better pillow as it was practically as thin as a piece of paper

建物の老朽化は感じられましたが、リフォームもされており…日本家屋を感じる温かい空間でした。 オーナーやスタッフの方の対応もよく文句なしです。 幼い子連れの旅行で不安もあったけど、ホテルとは違って帰りたくなるような居心地の良さ(アットホーム)があり、とても満足です。 ドライヤーや鏡もあってシャンプーなども充分な商品です。冷蔵庫やケトルや食器、ティーパックなどもあって充分すぎました。 近隣のコインパーキングもありますが、設定の問題で結構料金いきました。

Beautiful, traditional and clean

Traditional and beautiful Japanese style guesthouse, which was more than I expected. The place was extremely clean and the beds/mats were suprisingly very comfortable. As people have pointed out, this place is small but I didn't see it as a problem. They provide tea and coffee, towels, shampoo etc. Only con of this place would be the fact that there's no airconditioner in the dormitory. How ever, the dormitory area is connected to a balcony which has an AC and a fan. They usually opened the balcony door and turned the AC on at bed time, so the dormitory wasn't too hot at all (even though it got pretty hot during the day). This is something you should consider if you're traveling Japan during the hottest season (I was traveling in the end if June). Over all I had a very good stay!

최고였다 일본 가정집 느낌의 게스트하우스로 1층에 있는 테이블에서 외국친구들과 놀며 즐겁게 보낼 수 있다 자전거 렌트도 가능하며 교토시내에서 매우 가깝다 정말 일본 가정집에서 자는 느낌이여서 더 좋았다
