We found our room quite adequate. It had a stovetop for cooking and a washing machine. It was very close to a grocery store and an amazing bakery. Great baguettes at the bakery. Really enjoyed our stay.

All is good for tourist who want to sightseeing around Kyoto. But if you are a big luggage traveller. You have to transfer by taxi because there are no subway or train by walk around here. And bus is not allowed for big luggage.

Great place to stay if you want to stay in / cook a meal. Overall spacious and clean. It was a bit further from the city center although easy to get to. Many bus options to Kyoto tourist destinations only a 5 min walk away.

Very quaint japanese style inn. Good price. Little out of the way in terms of location but the bus stop isn't too far away to get around. Great karaage place 3 min away, and clothes options too. Lobby has a hand drawn map of local stops for food and shopping
