The selling point of this property is the sauna and outdoor baths. We didn’t end up using the sauna (it was 90 degrees outside) so we simply enjoyed the two baths. It was nice to do a load of laundry in the middle of our trip and while we only made tea, the kitchen was convenient and useful for folks staying longer. It’s a short walk to the station and close to many things. The house is very charming and would be perfect for a family.

An absolute gem in Kyoto!
We had a perfect stay here. The apartment is beautifully curated with a modern traditional Japanese aesthetic. It was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed. The indoor garden in the shower area was a spectacular touch.
The location is unbeatable—walking distance to Gion and Nishiki Market, surrounded by fantastic dining options, and close to public transport (metro and buses).
Note: The stairs are a bit steep, so just watch your step.

Our stay at Guesthouse Koundo was excellent. It’s a beautiful home located, in our opinion, in the best spot in Nikko as it is easy to walk to the popular areas as well as catch the bus to go up to the mountain. There are also wonderful neighborhood restaurants to try within walking distance. It’s in a quiet neighborhood surrounded by beautiful nature. We were kindly allowed to leave our bags early, which was a great help because we had a lot of luggage.

That’s a more authentic review if the food wasn’t actually a highlight for your family:
We stayed at Shiunso Ryokan as a family with two young children and overall had a pleasant experience.
The ryokan is definitely an older property and shows its age in some areas, but it has a traditional atmosphere that many travelers may appreciate. The staff were welcoming, and the stay gave us an opportunity to experience a classic Japanese ryokan.

The property was absolutely beautiful and very spacious for our family of four. The hot bath was a treat, especially since I have a lot of tattoos and don't want to offend locals in an onsen. (I know there are tattoo-friendly onsens, but I couldn't find any in the area we were staying.) The breakfast was a delicious spread of vegan cuisine. The washer/dryer was essential for our visit. Five stars! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Our favorite booking in Japan. The property is gorgeous, the bed was extremely comfortable and the staff was so kind and attentive. Thank you for everything.

Modern house with excellent amenities! The kitchen, the windows, the toilet, the jacuzzi, the hot spring bath... Everything is great!! It's a little far from the major attractions and restaurants, yet very close to the city tram station which is actually convenient. My family and I love our stay and will definitely stay at La Cachette again next time we visit Hakodate.

5/5 Definitely recommended for anyone especially if you come in bigger group! There was only 3 of us so it was plenty of space. They picked us up at the train station. Service was excellent. They were very nice toward us. I unfortunately only stay at this lovely villa for only one night because I already booked else where. I will definitely stay there again if I have a chance. It was pretty close to the lake as well. On a clear day, you can easily see Fuji-san.
