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!

Quaint, clean and as expected for a humble Japanese homestay. The host was exceptionally helpful and sweet and offered local recommendations and shopping tips. They are right next door to a bicycle rental and I took full advantage and biked all over Kyoto. 7 mins walk away is the underground food mall. Having a laundry machine came in handy! It was air dry only during the time I was there and my clothes dried overnight.

Super great hosts! Nicest and most lovely person I’ve met in Japan. The house is super clean, nice and warm atmosphere and the other guest were also very nice. The talkings at the breakfast table were one of the highlights.

Katsura-san is a great host and we had a fantastic time during our stay. Location is super close to Nijo-Jo castle, several fancy restaurants and walking distance to subway. The apartment was super clean, had all the facilities required and Katsura-san spend a long time chatting with us and making our stay wonderful.

Everything about this stay was amazing. Absolutely lovely hosts who went out of their way to make us feel welcome here in Kyoto. Their friendliness is outstanding! Also, the annex house in which we stayed is beautiful, the room was clean and comfortable. Location is great as well, I can only recommend staying at this place.

Mr and Mrs Li are super great hosts, the best I have ever seen so far in all my travels. Everything was thought of (I mean everything u would need while traveling, it felt like staying at a good friend’s place. The beds were confortable and the kitchen was well equipped, the Japanese shower and bath was great !), they even gladly showed us around in the city and gave valuable recommendations for Sakura season.
