The couple running the place are lovely and accommodating. They gave us the rundown of the rules and gave us a tour of the place and our room. They even gave us a map of recommendations of restaurants and spots which was very helpful! I visited...

Cosy, quiet traditional building. Staff were friendly and accomodating and always helped out where they could. They allowed me to leave my luggage before check in and after checkout. They offer bike rentals for a small price.

I only stayed there one night but I will for sure be back when I come back to Kyoto. The shared room 'bunkbeds' felt more like an actual room since it was so spacious and private. Perfect guesthouse, would very much recommend!!
