We loved our stay and rented two of the homes, both of which were charming and full of character. Staying here gave us the opportunity to experience life in a traditional Japanese home, which made our trip even more memorable. Everyone in our group agreed it was a much more enjoyable and authentic experience than staying in a hotel.The location was excellent, with easy access to several places on our itinerary, and the walk into town along the river was especially beautiful and relaxing. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and memorable stay in Kyoto.

Lovely property! The house was nice and stayed cool even during the hottest days. Everything worked perfectly and the location was really nice. Owners were very communicative and easy to talk to as well. It was also really nice to have all the houses in one courtyard so going to talk to friends was easy. Wouldn't hesitate to stay here again!

Our house was super cute! It’s a traditional home in structure but very modern indoors. It was chilly downstairs, but they provided an extra space heater to keep it warm enough. Upstairs the bedrooms were really comfortable and plenty warm. The best part is that this is one of many homes in a shared courtyard, so our extended family was able to spread into 3 houses but all still be together.

An Exceptional Stay in Kyoto

I cannot say strongly enough how great this stay was. We had excellent communication with the owner, on arrival he was there to provide detailed information. The places were stocked with everything we needed and the houses were clean. The location is just about perfect for Kyoto and we were pleased with the hosts response to any request. Honestly, a stay in Kyoto doesn’t get better than this.

A home away from home

I had a great stay in the Tsuki house. It’s a lovely traditional house but with all the modern conveniences you need for a comfortable visit. Plus I was met by Satoru, a delightful young man, who walked me through the house to make sure I understood how things like the washer/dryer worked and answered any questions I had. I really appreciated the personal touch.

Kei has a wonderful collection of properties that are central to everything you want to see and do in Kyoto. It was a fantastic homebase location. We rented 2 houses to accommodate our group, it was intimate and gave the space we needed for 9 people. The property owner and assistants speak English fluently and are so helpful with recommendations and support. We couldn't have been happier with the experience. We highly recommend this property.

What a great spot

We rented two of the houses for a party of 8, including one toddler. It was set up beautifully for us, spotless, and so comfortable! Or house had one bedroom with futon beds and one with Western style double bed. Kitchen was small but had everything we needed. A quiet back street (with a courtyard!) but easily walking to everything. And the goat was wonderful! Very accommodating and responsive! Couldn't have asked for a better experience!

Hi. My name is Kei. I was born and raised in Kyoto. My family has lived here for more than 250 years. I renovated my houses and started B&B simply because it's very fantastic to meet new guests and to have conversations with them. As a genuine Kyotoite, it would be great if I can show you the core beauty of Kyoto.
