Traditional period home in Kyoto

We have a gorgeous stay & were welcomed very warmly by Judy. She gave us great suggestions on things to do in Kyoto as well as bus & train routes to get there. Location is fantastic, right in the middle of the city & we walked from the Kyoto Station which was an easy 20/25minutes past an beautiful temple. Convenient to Gion & all the riverside bars & restaurants. The room is traditional Japanese style with comfortable futons on tatami mats. It was a great place to stay.

宿全体の雰囲気や設備の内容に関し知識不足で予想よりかなり違った感じでした。設備は清潔に管理されており悪い感じはしませんでした。部屋も極端に狭くテレビもなくただ寝るだけ。ほぼ外国の方の利用で感想がメモで掲示されており、その方たちの評判はおおむね良好でした。私は次の利用はないでしょう。

单身女性也可以安心入住的绝佳住宿地

简简单单，舒适整洁。是一家小巧且一应俱全的民宿。非常喜欢我的那间和室，榻榻米有淡淡的香味，房间的名字也很好听"紅葉"。民宿位置处于京都市区的商业繁华地段，出门无论去哪里和怎么去都很方便。民宿主人Judy非常友善和热心，给了我一些很好的建议，和她的聊天也非常的开心。明年有机会一定再去。

Just a tad difficult to find but very close to Main Street, gion district is only 10-15 min walk . Judy (owner/manager) was incredibly helpful and tried to make our stay as comfortable as possible. Loved our stay in general... shard bathrooms and toilet which we were pre advised. Only if they provide pjs like many other Japanese hotels or guesthouses . Overall, enjoyed staying there and will do the same if we visit Kyoto again.

130여년 된 가옥이 무척이나 이뻤습니다. 내부도 굉장히 깨끗하고 직원 분들도 친절하셨습니다. 공용 화장실과 샤워장이지만 타 숙박객들과 마주칠 일도 없고 전혀 불편함 없이 이용했습니다. 주변 관광지와도 무척 가까워서 니시키시장, 카모강 청수사, 기온거리 다 걸어 갈 수 있습니다. 다음에 교토를 다시 간다면 꼭 한 번 더 숙박하고 싶습니다.

Nice experience in Kyoto in an 130 yrs house

The house is nice, and Judy kept it exactly clean. It is a pity that we did not see her, but she left notes on my room's door and another on my luggage stored there which was very warm. The house is cozy and you can have a nice experience if you want understand local house. Judy arranged a Chinese girl on that day, whom also provided us lots of information proactively. They also prepared very nice treats in the room. Although it is shared toilet and shower, but they have two for 4 rooms, so it was not crowed. The only thing is location maybe not very near with bus stops or subway station, if you have luggage with you.
