A great little spot, my partner and I only stayed for one night however, on the lower floor 1F (Garden suite, upper floor is the Temple Garden View Suite). Some points of note; Basically completely central to all things in and near Gion, including Ninenzaka, Gion Station, Ghibli Store, Shrines and other notable landmarks in eastern Kyoto. Still a decent walk or train ride to other parts of Kyoto as expected. A good sized, soft bed for two people with 5 soft pillows in the house (2 on the bed, 3 spare for 3 spare foutons). Foutons are available for the main room if you need extra space. Like many traditional Japanese guesthouses, pretty thin walls and can hear the other guests in the building. Decently priced, no breakfast or dinners included and not much complimentary in the fridge. Washer/dryer also in the apartment. Overall, pretty happy with our experience, we'll definitely make an effort to come back in the future

November 2024 - So peaceful despite being a short walk from so many famous sights. We stayed in the upper level temple view suite and loved the patio and bath with included salts. The staff was also so friendly!

A beautiful stay in the heart of Gion. The temple view room is amazing and perfect for bath lovers. Friendly and helpful staff too!
