Hospitality of the owner

Stayed in June 2024

The place is just exceptional. as a solo traveler, I felt totally immersed. I really fell in love with the city. the ryokan is close to the train station, the main sites of interest which I mainly visited on foot (return by bus). Kahori-san is charming, welcoming, warm. The very kind cleaning lady. I will definitely come back! See you soon and thank you very much. Sylvie

Stairs were steep and the toilets were downstairs.

Staff very friendly and real Japanese experience with futon and buckwheat pillow. Room was spacious.

The stairs to where the rooms are are quite steep, but it is to be expected. I just mentioned it because it is quite a feat if you have a lot of luggage like my daughter and I. The landlady helped us, though, and there was another guest who had a big case for his cycle, and he could just leave it downstairs. So, not a big problem, just something to be aware of.

The host was very friendly and her English good. The location is near the Kyoto station, which is awesome. The Inn itself is beautiful and made one feel part of Japan., and even though guests share bathroom facilities, everything was spotlessly clean. We could also do our washing, I will stay there again

Toilets and showers were on the 1st floor whilst my room was on second. The stairs were steep and I would've tripped wearing the slippers.

Friendly welcoming reception always willing to help. My room was spacious with a remote control light switch. Close to Kyoto tower.

Nothing I did not like. Very satisfied with my stay. Obviously, if you are looking for a more space, this is probably the place you may not want. However, if you take into consideration the spacing reality of many Japanese cities, what you get for the price is a great value.

For the price, I do not think you can get a better value! It is very close to the train station (Central terminal from Tokyo!), and in a very quiet area. Like many places in Japan, you need to get your bearings straight before going to the inn but once you find it, it is amazingly easy to get to the train station and to the rest of Kyoto! The room is what you would expect for any Japanese place; small and simple. Just a bed on the floor, a small table and a few hooks to hang things. There was a window but not much to see, AC and heating. That was pretty much it. Again, I did not expect, or need, much beyond what I got, so I found the inn adequate for my needs. Oh, I love the kimono in the room! Very comfortable and practical. Wish I could have bought it but the owner would not let me. The facilities was good; it had a kitchen and good living room space. Bathrooms were clean and easy to use, quiet public space especially considering how the Japanese construct their homes with everything open. I heard the owner speaking in the afternoon when I checked in, but at night, it was surprisingly quiet. It helped that the other guests were also respectful of the quiet hours! I was there for only one night, but I would have no problem staying at Chita Guest Inn again when I return to Kyoto. For the price, it is a great value!

Everything!!!!!! This is real japanese experience, and the kahori is the best! It is close 30 minuts to the best of the city!

The lack of private bathrooms is clearly stated at the reservation but I underestimated the disconfort it entails.

Very good price for the services. Excellent position. Warm and supportive reception by the owner. Young and international guests. Complete services (kitchen, fridge, washing machine and drier, possibility to hang out the laundry, ...)

Good location. Few meters from the train station. Guest house is quite old and wooden. Traditional Japanese style ryokan. Bath is clean. Simple but lovely accommodation in Kyoto.

Shared toilets that are on the ground floor whereas the rooms are upstairs. Not really an issue but night time toilet visits could be troublesome.

Great cozy little inn nearby Kyoto station. Kahori, the inn owner was super friendly and always willing to help. Would highly recommend!

Location.. 30 on foot to Gion area ..14 min to Tokyo station where you can go to Irani shrine or Bamboo forest. Decoration and a very original Japanese house. The host was very friendly and suggested some recommendations about some places.

As in old houses, the floors creaked and the walls were thin. It made it a bit loud during the night and morning. But it wasn’t too much of a disturbance. The washing machine and drier are all in Japanese and even when I used a translator I made a mistake and ended up losing the money I had entered. I recommend asking ahead and getting some help from the staff before using.

The lady running the inn was lovely and helpful! The location was great, a few minutes walk from kyoto station and some attractions. The room we stayed at wad large and comfy. Wifi was solid.

Traditional style accommodation with tatami floors and roll out beds. Very clean, great value for money and good location - 10 min walk from the JR station.

The owner is an amazing and super sweet person, she made my stay an even better one, as the accommodation itself was a great experience. 10/10, thank you!!!

nothing at all

The location is not far from main station, i walked there with my backpack in 10 min. The host could speak english well, very helpful and friendly. The place is clean and spacious. Guests better keep quiet because it is a old traditional house, you hear everything, when i was staying there everyone was decent and not loud. Highlight: The tatami bed and nut pillow were extremely comfortable!!!

We liked everything!

Loved the traditional style of the building. Nice big common space and quiet vibe downstairs with comfortable rooms upstairs. The host was super nice and spoke great English. The location is really close to the JR station and a 15 min walk to the main nightlight area.
