This was UNBELIEVABLE!!! If you are staying in Kyoto absolutely try to carve out a couple of days (ideally a week) to stay at this beautiful 100+ years old property with a stunning garden - there will be no better way to feel the soul of Kyoto. Peaceful, quiet, extremely authentic - we enjoyed it very much and will be missing watching sunsets sitting on a doorstep with a bottle of plum wine. Many thanks to Yu-san for his hospitality, including greeting us with japanese sweets during check-in and serving us a small tea ceremony at check-out! We would love to be back!

I wish there was near by halal restaurants

I like that it made me go back in time, as if I lived in japan 100 years ago, and it was so clean

Its a beautiful villa with an amazing traditional Japanese garden. The villa means Communicate from the heart, and Yu-san exemplified that with his kind and generous ways, and attentiveness to our requests and ideas for us. We decided to stay in the 2nd day. It was such a pleasure to enjoy and appreciate the calmness and groundedness of the space. Thank you for the wonderful stay and the experience of this warm and very comfortable villa. You have everything in the villa. Well recommended!!

The pricing for a couple could have been lower. Felt it was a little expensive for 2 people :)

Denshin-An stay was one of our best experience in Japan. It felt disconnected from the world and live in a new cultural space, new aura. The villa had everything that you need. It was comfortable and serene. We also loved the locality. We tried finding vegetarian food and found a local old age community canteen. It was amazing! I would definitely recommend staying here!

Everything was really amazing nothing me and my family didn’t like

Everything at the property well organised and clean, clearly showing you how amazing is Japanese houses, the age of the property and nature and the view

The only thing that I can come up with was that I hope in the future that they will switch to the highest quality TP. Really, that’s it.

Garden Villa Denshin-An provides a true, traditional, Japanese living experience for those who crave elegance, simplicity, fine attention to detail, and a celebration of life.

Stunning pretty, clean, and hospitality.

I’m 6’2” and some of the beams are a little lower than that.

The entire property is extraordinarily designed (and well maintained) in a traditional Japanese style, even out into the marvelous garden.

A little on the pricier side, but you do get what you pay for!

An amazing little hidden gem in the outer regions of Kyoto. Location was super nice and calm, very relaxed and local feeling area. Hosts were superb, will go out of his way to assist you with whatever you need and is always just a message away if you need anything, made us tea and took some photos of us. The property was amazing, very traditional, with all the essential commodities. Beds were super comfortable, garden was splendid, me and my mate spend a good 5 hours just sitting there have a chat. The bikes were a super nice touch, was really peaceful going for a ride around the neighborhood

The history of the house and the details of each corner and the warm welcome, very friendly hosts Yu-san was very kind and helpful. The sunlight in the morning at the living room and loved the v60 kit.

The garden , the house and decoration are esthetically Japanese and beautiful while other facilities are very modern and convenient. The staffs are fluent in English with excellent hospitality. The location may be a little difficult to access but it’s very quiet and serene! We just love the place.

Nothing ! Just wish I could have stayed more than 2 nights to fully explore the area.

The kind of place you do not want to tell others about, preserving it as your secret spot, a treasure in a beautiful unspoilt area of Kyoto, far from city noise. A house so beautiful and so perfect in every details you have to pinch yourself to really believe you have it all for yourself. Traditional yet modern, it combines the best of everything. And such a warm welcome, caring attention, from start to finish. This is a gem of a house, can’t wait to be back!

The futon beds are no so comfortable for the aged. Difficult to get up and down.

We love the garden so much and the owner booked our lunches and dinners for us which were delicious. He is so nice and friendly. We would definitely come again.

A well outfitted Japanese house located in a quiet neighbourhood.

The floor is some part of the property is quite cold, but we understand it’s difficult to something in such a building.

The property is absolutely stunning, you can be sure to be impressed - both by the building itself and the host’s great attention to details. We had a wonderful stay in Kyoto thanks to Nagase San and his traditional Japanese house.

Amazing place with feeling of history in every part! Nicely renovated house with spectacular garden🔥 The speed of wifi was over 200mb 🤯🤩!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Of course its not a centre and you have to use a transport for everywhere. But train and bus stop are nearby. And its plenty to see in surroundings. House is close to the road, could be noisy, but during the night there are no cars at all. Yu-san was very helpful, supportive and kind👍🏽
