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. This was an absolutely magnificent stay with the best amenities and support anyone could've asked for. Haruka and her husband were immensely helpful and attentive, going above and beyond in giving us tips and guidance, and always keeping us supplied with amenities. The house had more amenities than I've seen anywhere else - in addition to towels and linens, there was also shampoo, toothpaste, toothbrushes and even makeup remover. We didn't use the kitchen very much as we were out and about a lot, but there were lots of spices and basic cooking supplies available, and we appreciated the toaster oven and coffee maker a lot. The bed was beautifully comfortable and soft, as were the pillows and comforters. The whole house was very clean and the tiny garden instilled a nice sense of calm, while at the same time we were very close to the metro station, allowing us to get around easily every day. There are supermarkets and convenience stores nearby, as well as a vending machine right outside the house. We've never felt more at home anywhere else.
