"This host sits at the very good location. Very near to supermarket, convenient store, restaurants, parking, and point of interest in Gion. Little house is very Japanese style and excellent for taking pictures with Kimono. Full equipped with A/C everywhere. Washing machine, microwave, cookware for making your own wagyu beef at the house. This is excellent choice I’ve made for my trip in Japan across all Inn and hotels I stayed so far. Highly recommended!!"

"Et meget lille værelse. Vi havde bestilt med dobbeltseng i håb om, at vores søn bare kunne sove i samme seng som os (da de ikke have værelse ledige med flere senge), men sengen var simpelthen så lille at vi ikke kunne være der og der var ikke mulighed (plads til) en ekstra opredning. Så det kunne være en god ide for stedet at gøre opmærksom på at en dobbeltseng kun er en “1,5” mands seng. Og så var sengen meget blød og ikke særlig behagelig. Fint værelse til 1, max 2 personer. Rigtig god...
