Room is very tidy, common area is very comfortable, the staff is very nice and helpful. A Lawson is located just 5 minutes walk at north. Walk a little bit towards south east you may find more restaurants near JR station.

The staff were incredibly nice even with a bit of a language barrier but we figured it out. The area is quiet and peaceful. The room was so cute and the building. It was a bit far from Kyoto but it was nice escape after a long day. And public transport was close by (10 min walk). Loved my experience and would definitely return and recommend.

Nearly authentic Japanese style B&B. Everything old felt so “new” by excellent upkeeps. Staff was friendly and helpful in every way.
