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 bedrooms are upstairs and there will be something for all tastes: a double bed for those who want Western comfort and 2 separate tatami spaces each equipped with 2 futons, for those keen on a Japanese experience.
You will quickly fall under the spell of its comfort, its cosy atmosphere and the calm despite its location in the centre of this very lively tourist district. Everything is there to offer you a superb stay. A sure favourite!

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.
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
