A male staff drove us to the Kyoto Station when all taxies were unavailable and another female wrapped our paper bag by plastic bag because it was raining.

Our transfer to another room was made easy as he offered to move our things for us, which made exploring Kyoto more enjoyable and smoother. The rooms were amazing, we got a chance to stay at 3 different rooms and all were exceptional. Would book here again when we go back to Kyoto.

    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.

    Very private homestay, intelligently designed in a small space so we could have a kitchen, a private bathroom and a spacious room. The location is very good as well, just in front of a temple. The checkin procedure was flawless. Highly recommended this place !

    If you're looking for an authentic Japanese experience when looking for your accommodation in Kyoto, look no further. Tani-san, the lovely host will make you feel most welcome in her old homestay. She makes wonderful breakfast and helps you with whatever you might need.

    Lovely staff. Enjoyed my stay here. Really wish my japanese was better than it is because the place seems very cool and popular among locals. Would have loved to meet more locals but my japanese isn't there yet. All around great hostel. Seems very hip
