Absolutely perfect. I needed a quick one night stay, walking distance from Kyoto Station and it had everything I needed. The room is small but no bigger than it needs to be when you just want a bed to fall asleep on after a long journey. The owner met me at the door, welcomed me in, gave me a tour and was generally very helpful and friendly. I'd definitely stay again.

Small stay with a good location. If you want a cheap stay in Kyoto, this might be a good option. Do note that it didn't feel that traditional + there wasn't much comfort, you basicaly slept on a thick blanket. If you don't mind sleeping on hard surfaces, this might be ok for you. The houseowner was constantly keeping an eye out & watched what you were doing all the time once you got in the common rooms, which felt a bit uncomfortable.

Convenient

Location was ok, about 10 min away from Kyoto Station. Not so much to do there at night, but there's 7-eleven nearby which proved very convenient. Everything was very clean. Room size was ok but the bathroom was a bit small. There's not much interaction between guests, and one should keep quiet at night. The owner was very nice. Overall, it was a good experience.

Room was clean but a little smelly? If you're a medium-large to large human, the bathroom and shower are gonna be cramped. The stairs to the second floor are incredibly steep and shallow and scary when carrying a suitcase.

Kitchenette shown in pictures is a shared one and not particularly clean. Room so small that suitcases would need to be stored outside of room when futons deployed, Bathroom tiny cubicle in corner, Room facilities quoted on tiny table at floor level in corner and not very useable. No clothing storage. Air conditioning did not work. To sum up totally uninhabitable for a couple. Checked out after five minutes in room and lost my money.

初めて訪れる場合は必ず戸惑います。ドアは鍵がかかっていて、インターホンで女性に説明を聞いて開錠する運用ですが、音質が悪く全然聞き取れず、偶然利用者が来たので教えてもらうことができました。あとは歯ブラシはないので自分で用意する必要があります。
