The guesthouse is situated close to Nijo Castle and Kyoto Imperial Palace, making it a good spot to explore this side of Kyoto. We had a lovely two-night stay and the breakfast was absolutely delicious. Our room was cozy with a charming small garden. Kayoko-san treated us to special teas in the evening, which was a delightful surprise after a day of exploring the city.

If you’re thinking about staying at the Rokkon Guest House stop thinking and start booking. Kayoko’s place was exceptional. Our highlight of our one month trip. We stayed in the deluxe bedroom and had the whole top floor to ourselves. It was so spacious and cozy. Felt like a home away from home. Kayoko was extremely kind and accommodating. She made us incredible breakfasts served in our room every morning. In the afternoon she left lovely hand written notes, fresh tea, and traditional Japanese sweets. She also provided pajamas and clean towels every day. The accomodation was a little bit further out from the main area of town, but there is a train line at the end of the street which made for easy accessibility. Plus the distance made it nice and quiet. It was a lovely way to spend our anniversary and birthday. Thank you kayoko!

Kayoko is a wonderful host, super friendly and helpful. The communication before we arrived and during was amazing. The room was beautiful and very comfortable, with lovely little touches and inclusions. Breakfast each morning was amazing and fresh and Kayoko explained each dish. Couldn't recommend Rokkon Guest House highly enough!

Food food food !! (Breakfast) and the host Kayoko’s kindness. The transitional guest house was cozy and it had everything that we need from clean pajamas and washer/dryer. Water pressure is good with nice hot temp so it was perfect to take shower or bath to relax. We want to come back again and we slept and relaxed well every nights.

There was nothing not to like

Our favorite stay in all of Japan. The traditional machiya style home is amazing!! There was plenty of space while getting the full authentic ryokan experience. The beds were so comfortable, and all bedding was organic cotton and so so soft. Kayoko goes above and beyond to accommodate you. Her food is the best we had!

Kayoko is a really wonderful host. She made our stay in Kyoto special. We loved the breakfast (a little different every morning), the afternoon-tea and her great recommendations for restaurants and things to do around Kyoto. The room was very comfy and calm and even had a little garden. Ookini :)

Everything was absolutely amazing! Kayoko is a friendly, extraordinary host, who made our stay as good as it could be. Her breakfast is also delicious. Make sure to follow her restaurant tips, which resulted into one of our best meals in Japan.

Nothing, everything was wonderful

Warm, extremely clean, full of charm and history yet modern comfort, incredibly comfortable beds. Kayoko our host was extremely kind and helpful in every way. Her food was wonderful and we looked forward to it every morning. She left us tea and treats in the afternoon. Every part of the stay was perfect thanks to her.

We loved our stay and especially the kindness of our host Kayoko was extraordinary! Besides the incredible breakfast, we were served every afternoon a nice tea with a sweet note that made you feel extra special! Thank you Kayoko for making this such a special stay in Kyoto for us!

Kayoko was so thoughtful. We'd come back to freshly brewed tea and snacks every afternoon. The breakfast was delicious and beautifully presented. The room is massive and clean and the guesthouse is centrally located. Only a few minutes walk from the closest train station. It gets cold at night and there's a nice wood burning heater in the corner. This guesthouse only has two rooms available so it's very quiet if that's what you're looking for.

Kayoko was an amazing host. And cook! We felt welcome from the time we entered until the time we left. We stayed upstairs and loved the accommodations. We left early on our last day and had to miss her delicious Kyoto breakfast and Kayoko gave us bento boxes for the train ride. How sweet is that?

Wonderful b&b on a quiet side street in Kyoto. The hostess is the nicest person imaginable. She accommodated our dietary restrictions and prepared a delicious and varied breakfast for us every morning. Highly recommended!

A true hidden gem: in an old traditional Japanese House, Kayoko has designed a beautiful & cosy place where she treats guests with the upmost sense of service. Her breakfast are delicious, the garden view room is very special & charming. We felt in a movie or a dream & truly loved it.

We really enjoyed our stay at Rokkon guest house! Kayoko was such a beautiful host, and we eagerly awaited our breakfast each morning. The room was so comfortable and homely, and we loved the fireplace. Kayoko was so warm and welcoming, and helped us out a lot with some local recommendations for food/things to see in Kyoto. The location was good, with Karasuma Oike train station just down the road. It was our favourite place we stayed during our Japan trip!

A very cozy place overall. Kayoko's hospitality was exceptional, both professional and genuine. We want to revisit if we go back to Kyoto.

I loved everything about this stay. The quiet area, the traditional place, the cozy room with the fire, and the homemade (and delicious) breakfast. But above all, I'm so glad I could meet Kayoko. She welcomed me so warmly and made me feel at home. Thanks, Kayoyo. I'll be back very soon so I can't wait to visit you again!
