The guest house comes with a flat-screen TV. The property offers city views.

Sanjusangen-do Temple is 1.6 km from the guest house, while Shoren-in Temple is 1.2 km away. Itami Airport is 46 km from the property. I've been impressed about everything. I never experienced such a high standard on facilities, not even in famous hotels! Sharing the bathroom was not a problem at all as it's kept extremely clean. The location is just perfect! Linda is extremely attentive, kind and responsible, she clearly represents the welcoming and educated character of Japanese people! If you find this gem available, don't waste your time looking for alternatives!

Featuring a garden and views of garden, Azukiya is a recently renovated guest house located in Kyoto, 700 metres from Shoren-in Temple. A hot tub and a bicycle rental service are available for guests. The accommodation provides a shared kitchen, full-day security and currency exchange for guests. Everything was amazing! The distance from the train was small and downhill. The host was phenomenal, she made us breakfast and each day was a different region. She also had amazing recommendations on where to tour. I want to come back to Kyoto again just so I can stay there longer!

It is set 1.3 km from TKP Garden City Kyoto and provides full-day security. The guest house has family rooms. Excellent, kind, and helpful host.
