The room and shared eating and kitchen space was so clean and comfortable. The futon beds were very comfortable. The free breakfast was so lovely. Sim, Sigh, and all the staff were so helpful and gave great information, advice, and rang ahead to places for extra information for us. We were just a 20 minute walk from the main areas of kyoto, but the area around the guesthouse was lovely and quiet. If we ever have the chance to come to Japan again, we will definitely stay here again. We stayed in other nice hotels on our travels, but this guesthouse was by far our favourite stay! Thank you Sim and everyone!

It was actually rather larger for what we have been used to in Japan. The fact there is everything you need, the washing machine a huge plus in summer and close to the stations. Honestly, I would stay here again in a heartbeat! Also super quiet and felt extremely safe.

This was a really sweet property, it felt special to be able to stay in a more “authentic” property and the location was also great for what we wanted to do in Kyoto. It was clean and well appointed, we really enjoyed our stay!

Everything was clean and very nice Only minus is that the hostel is quite far away. It doesent look like it, but its like 1 hour by bus to bamboo forest or thousend torris The check in process was little bit long and tiring. Also there are two buildings! One where you sleep and second one when the zen garden is . Its like 5 min walk away from each other Everything else 10/10

The staff was very service-minded. Hiro carried our heavy luggage up and down, we were allowed to park our car on the parking place for the staff which was opposite the guesthouse and he responded very soon on all our questions. It is a house with a beautiful soul.
