予想以上に素晴らしく、感動の1泊2日だった。キッチン、バス、トイレ、洗面所、各部屋がとても綺麗。無料のドリンク、お菓子あり。室内運動具もたくさんあり。テレビが、バカでかい。お布団ふかふか。食材持ち込みO.K.で、調理可能。食器充実。コロナ対策グッズがアチコチに用意されている。駐車場が、すぐ近く。管理人が優しく親切。部屋が広くて、3人で全部屋使用。「来た時よりも美しく」を合言葉に、チェックアウト前の掃除も、家族の結束を高めた。 たくさんの人に紹介したい。「また利用したいね。」と、子ども達も、大満足の1泊2日だった。感謝、感動、大満足。

Unforgettable suburban Kyoto experience.

Katsuhiko-San make us feel at home in his beautiful house. It was an unique experience living in an authentic japanese home for some days. It made us appreciate and get closer to Japan's way of life in every way possible. The Takoyako party was an awesome detail too and we had fun with it. I'll recommend it to couples coming for Japan for the first time!

The nice people who where running the place made our stay much better. They took their time to show us things. They even walked us to the bike rentals. As for the house it was well kept and we couldn’t of asked for a better stay. Kyoto is wonderful, wish I had more time here.

Notre meilleur souvenir de logement!

Nous sommes une famille de 4 . Nous devions rester seulement 4 nuits mais notre hôte a pu nous garder deux nuits de plus à notre demande (suite à un changement de programme dû à la tempête tropicale). Il nous a préparé des takoyakis le premier jour et des yakitoris le dernier. Tous les espaces communs sont très biens, propres, super fonctionnels... extra La cuisine est super équipée, on peut acheter de quoi se faire à manger. Il y a pleins de petites choses en libre service. On s'est sentis comme à la maison, le meilleur endroit de tout notre séjour!

Nice hostel in a quiet residential area

Surrounding is a quiet residential area with a big park. There are two supermarkets nearby (Fresco and アイハート). So its very easy to grab some late night snacks. Walk 10mins to the Saiin hankyu station or 15mins to Saiin Ranken station. Location is fine :)) They didnt tell me the door password in advance and there was no staff when i arrive. I just text them with line to ask for the checkin method in front of their door and it was raining so hard :( it wasnt a good beginning. And we found a small spider in bed.. But luckily the host (host’s father) was very nice! He invited us and some French guests to make Takoyaki together. It was so fun :D Overall, the hostel is good :)

Un superbe endroit dans une maison traditionnelle japonaise! Chambres avec tatamis et futons! Une petit jardinet typique du japon. L'accueil est très bon et Yusuke et très attentionné envers ses hôtes. Un très bon spot pour découvrir une ville superbe mêlant tradition et modernisme.

My son said: "It seems to sleep in Doraemon room!"

Very nice place, the owners are friendly and welcoming. Even if they don't speak english, they try to help you as the can. We were there with 2 children who are 6 and 7 years old and we stayed 6 nights. The owners usually waited us when we came back in the evening and they liked to play with our children. Our children still talk about them and really liked to stay there! We used the kitchen that is clean and well provided. Bathrooms and showers are very clean and confortable. They don't provide breakfast, but you can have water, coffe and tee for free at any time and there are always some snacks (for free too). We really loved that place and we recommend everyone to go there. It's about 10 minutes walk from metro station, there are many restaurants and supermarkets around.

沒有收到大門鎖密碼，以為有接待員在，結果不斷敲門，幸好有剛入住旅客開門，不過還是要費唇舌解釋一番，最後才安頓下來。 住其他的民宿都有入住前聯絡，不致有阻滯。房間在二樓，有大行李箱不好搬。 開放式廚房，但不想煮食，因同地下房間很近，剛好遇上奇怪的租客，晚上在廚房切水果食，都被這對男女不斷走出來盯著。第二天9點食早餐，連焗多士都好似唔多滿意，馬上關上走廊門，隔開味。住得很侷促，不自在。住兩晚，從未與屋主有過聯絡，。
