Ideally located just a 10-minute walk from the iconic Kiyomizu-dera Temple, Guesthouse Soi offers various rooms including private Japanese-style rooms and dormitory rooms. Both Kiyomizu Gojo and Shichijo stations for the Keihan Main Line are situated within a 10-minute walk. Free WiFi is available throughout the property. The place is very good located, close from Gion but in a quiet street, the Room is confortable, big enough for a couple. The staff was incredible, Sim the owner makes you feel at home and gives us the best advice for our itineraries. I will go again to Kyoto and stay as well at this place!!

Located in the centre of Kyoto, 雅 is a recently renovated accommodation, which provides soundproof rooms. The air-conditioned accommodation is less than 1 km from Gion Shijo Station. The guest house features family rooms. 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 :)

Located in Kyoto, 2.3 km from Nijo Castle and 1.5 km from the centre, 遥華-Haruka House provides air-conditioned accommodation with free WiFi, and a garden. There is a private entrance at the guest house for the convenience of those who stay. The guest house features family rooms. A well-located apartment in a quiet residential neighborhood with great transport access. The size is just right—not too big, not too small. It has all the basic amenities a traveler needs, plus a few extras. As a bonus, there are some local fluffy residents who seem to take their unofficial role as ‘welcoming committee’ very seriously. Hospitality was outstanding—many thanks again to Haruka and her husband for a fantastic stay!

Ideally located in the centre of Kyoto, Kokonoe Machiya offers air-conditioned rooms, a garden, free WiFi and a shared lounge. The property is around less than 1 km from Nijo Castle, 1.8 km from Kitano Tenmangu Shrine and 2.7 km from Kyoto International Manga Museum. The accommodation provides a shared kitchen, room service and organising tours for guests.

At the inn, every room is equipped with a wardrobe. The rooms are equipped with a safety deposit box and some rooms also feature city views. The best stay I had in Japan. All the facilities are clean and comfortable. The owners are super friendly, full of useful tips and offer valuable advice and just general insight about Japan and Kyoto. Every morning they prepare traditional Japanese breakfast for free. I hope I get to come back at some point.
