The owner was very welcoming and responsive, which I truly appreciated. The room itself was lovely, with private shower and toilet. There’s also a kitchen available for guests. And I also enjoyed the pleasant incense on the first floor :)

Beautiful family and room perfect. They drove us to the train station in a new Tesla, which was appreciated after lots of walking around.

This was a really sweet property, it felt special to be able to stay in a more “authentic” property and the location was also great for what we wanted to do in Kyoto. It was clean and well appointed, we really enjoyed our stay!

Everything was clean and very nice Only minus is that the hostel is quite far away. It doesent look like it, but its like 1 hour by bus to bamboo forest or thousend torris The check in process was little bit long and tiring. Also there are two buildings! One where you sleep and second one when the zen garden is . Its like 5 min walk away from each other Everything else 10/10

This was the best booking in our lives, I really don't have idea how to describe staying here, because it was sooo fantastic! Morio and Yoshika were the best hosts ever. Breakfast was different everyday and delicious and healthy, they prepared tea and snacks every afternoon after our exploring. Morio also gave us a ride few times, what ment to us so much... Yoshiko washed our clothes and cuddled our children with sweets and cartoons. The house is also fantastic, 100 years old Japanese wooden house, we are not going to forget it, ever! Thank you 😍.

We had a perfect stay at Gionkoh in Kyoto. The host was really nice and helpful. The room with the view into the little garden was so beautiful and with so many traditional details. We enjoyed our time very much and will definitely be back when in Kyoto.
