An authentic experience of Kyoto

The house is beautifully renovated to both preserve the details of a traditional Kyoto townhouse --garden, ofuro, fusuma, tatami, etc--but equally modernized to make our family of 11 totally comfortable. Loved it

The house was perfect for five people traveling together. The laundry was especially helpful as this was our 7th day of our two week stay in Japan. Based on the convenient location, we were able to quickly access all the transportation, shopping and dining we wanted. An additional perk based on the timing of our stay was the ability to watch the World Cup soccer matches together in the living room/dining space.

This place is amazing!

This place is amazing! It was very comfortable. They even left us a handwritten welcome note and some cookies as a treat when we checked in which was very nice and very much appreciated. The apartment is very stylish and has a relaxing feel. There is a small garden area that you can see from 2 tatami bedrooms and one of the bathrooms for soaking your tired feet after walking through Kyoto all day. We also checked out Sake Cube a few minutes away it was a really fun place! Also good bakeries nearby. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone and would love to stay again one day!
