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

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!
