Great place, great host. She was super nice and kind, everything was perfectly clean and the location is superb! Also sleeping on the futons was surprisingly comfy! Cannot recommend enough!

We had an incredible stay at Kiyomizu Shukuba! China-san was communicative, helpful and so kind. She helped with far beyond just the property - recommendations, locations, maps and more. The house itself is charming and comfortable. Ample space, historical and beautiful. The amenities were great and the location was perfect. We were 10 minute walk to shopping and restaurants (Pontocho, Takashiyama and more), and just a few minutes to countless shrines, temples, transit, parks and historical landmarks. I highly recommend staying here - it was a pleasure and will remember the trip for a very long time.

My family and I like everything about the unit and its host, Chika-san, who made our stay very heart warming and hospitable. The unit exceed our expectations in terms of its location, cleanliness and coziness, its traditional tatami design and its large bathtub. Chika-san was the perfect host who went out of her way to assist us in making travel bookings and provided local travel tips as well. Perfect!

Kiyomizu Tateba was definitely one of the highlights of our visit to Kyoto. Our host , Chika-san, made sure we have a comfortable and safe stay and provided us with lots of tips on what to see in this magnificent city. After a long day of sightseeing, it felt really cosy to return to our beautiful and stylishly renovated "home away from home". The house itself is more than hundred years old and has been restored so that it is equipped with all modern commodities, without losing its traditional character. The location couldn't be better. It's a short walk to Kiyomizu and Kodaiji Temple and 2 minutes walk from the bus stop. Colorful Gion is only a couple of bus stops away. The neighborhood is lively during the day until early evening, but then gets nicely peaceful during the night. There are plenty of good restaurants and quirky shops to browse. We highly recommend Kiyomizu Tateba!

Chika was a perfect host and we felt looked after during our stay. Chika’s House was in a perfect location for us being first time visitors to Kyoto and it was clean and homely. I cannot recommend this accommodation highly enough & totally advise travellers to eat breakfast downstairs in the cafe, it was delicious, authentic and reviving! Thanks Chika.

We really enjoyed staying at Chika's place. Chika was extremely helpful for the duration of our stay. She provided us with very useful information about the city and transport.

This is a great place. Lovely apartment and very comfortable and right in the heart of the action - short walk into Gion and surrounding area. Chika was so friendly and went out of her way to make us feel welcome - she serves a great breakfast downstairs in her cafe too so that is also recommended. All in all a great place to stay and use as a base for exploring Kyoto.
