Hibiki - Large Japanese house in the heart of Gion

You wish to stay in a spacious Japanese house with all modern comforts that can accommodate 6 people in the heart of Gion? Hibiki will be your ideal base.



This 110 m² two-storey house has on the ground floor a large open-plan kitchen overlooking a dining room with a lounge area facing a Japanese garden.

The host was very communicative and reached out via WhatsApp to make sure we had everything we needed. She also met us on check-in day and showed us around the property. It was very well set up and perfect for our party of 4. The location was convenient to many sites and amenities.

The home was perfect for five of us during our stay in Kyoto. We traveled by taxi, bus and foot to and from the house to restaurants, shopping and the train station. Solène was extremely helpful and responsive to all our questions. The house was clean and as described in the listing. I would recommend this property and would stay again.

We loved our stay so much at this house in Kyoto. Rhe location was amazing, so many beautiful temples to walk to and grocery stores and delicious restaurants. The house was perfect for my family of 5. It was nice to be able to cook breakfast each morning and save a little money. The host was very easy to het ahold of and very helpful. We would definitely stay again next time we are in Japan.

Central Location in Gion

My family of four, including two teens, had a very enjoyable three-night stay at the Hibiki House. We were pleasantly surprised by the walkability to many shrines and other sites of interest around Gion. I was also appreciative of the detailed instructions received in advance. The house was clean, well appointed, and very comfortable for four guests. We would highly recommend this location!

Hibiki is a beautiful property in the heart of the Gion district. I couldn't believe how well the kitchen was set up. All the amenities you could ask for. The courtyard and garden so Zen. At night you can turn on the courtyard uplighting and sit in the living room enjoying the view with a drink. The property is in a quiet neighborhood but steps away from restaurants and grocery stores. I can't recommend it enough, especially for a large group
