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. Very convenient central location. Both the paid and free breakfasts were great! We also both really appreciated the friendly and helpful staff. The two rooms we stayed in were also both really cool, the downstairs one with the tatami lounge was very comfortable and the one upstairs had a nice high ceiling.

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 travel a lot and hqve been to serevel places, but here I found most gentle and helpful host I ever met. Location was beyond perfection, a few steps from the Pagoda street everyone want to take a picture at.

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 about our stay was perfect, from the stunning, traditional property to the incredibly kind and thoughtful host! Make sure you give Chieko a heads up that you’d like breakfast, because she puts together such a delicious spread. She even accommodates our son’s allergies. She was so patient and kind in helping us navigate some of the challenges of navigating Japan with a baby. We cannot recommend a stay at Azukiya enough! Thank you!

Situated in Kyoto, less than 1 km from Kitano Tenmangu Shrine and 3 km from the centre, KéFU stay & lounge features air-conditioned accommodation with free WiFi, and a shared lounge. The property features inner courtyard and quiet street views, and is 1.7 km from Kinkaku-ji Temple. The guest house has family rooms as well as facilities for disabled guests. The breakfast was nice, and everything was very clean. The shared kitchen, showers, and restrooms were all kept in excellent condition. I highly recommend this place for solo travelers. I was assigned a room with a window, so even though it was small, it didn’t feel stuffy at all. It’s also a great value for those planning a longer stay.

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. Haruka and her husband are one of the best people I have ever met. They are very warm, welcoming and accommodating. They made sure that everything is according to your expectations and even went beyond.
