    Getting picked up by Nasuki, she's so lovely. Also the clear instructions to get to Toji Station. The close proximity to Toji Temple and shopping centre. Everything was great.

Located in a quiet residential area on the west side of Toji Temple, a World Heritage Site. It is located in the area south of Kyoto Station, about 5 minutes by cab from Kyoto Station. If you use the train, get off at Toji Station on the Kintetsu Kyoto Line, and it is about a 12-minute walk. The nearest bus stop (Rajomon) is a 1-minute walk from the inn, so it is convenient for those heading to sightseeing spots. Direct access is available to the north in the direction of Kinkakuji Temple, and to the east in the direction of Kiyomizu Temple, Gion, and Heian Jingu Shrine. Of course, buses to Kyoto Station, Toji Station, and Shijo Omiya Station are also available. Our guesthouse was renovated in January 2022. All windows are double-paned to improve soundproofing and thermal insulation. In the Japanese-style room, a new hori-zataku table has been installed, and a kotatsu futon is available for winter use. The parking space has been expanded to allow for the parking of a large standard-size car. Three bedrooms are located on the second floor. Futon bedding can be provided in the Japanese-style room. Free check-in pick-up service is included. On the day of check-in only, we will pick you up at Toji Station on the Kintetsu Kyoto Line. Advance reservation is required. The last service ends at 8:00 PM. Free bicycle rental Two to three bicycles are available. They are free of charge. Please use them for shopping in the neighborhood. Paid bicycle rental service is also provided. Free parking Parking spaces are available on the north side of the house. Check-in/out IN: 3-9pm OUT: 10:00am How to enter An electronic key code is required. My staff will lecture you on how to open the key at check-in. Accommodation Charges Cleaning fee is not included in the room charge. Service charge is consumption tax. Please check the breakdown of the total room charge before confirming your reservation. If you have any questions, please send us a message.
Hello!!! I'm Shizu, and I am a host. Thank you very much for taking the time to read my profile. As I am currently working at a university hospital in Tokyo, I opened this house as a guesthouse. I have loved to travel since I was a student. I have traveled to Thailand, Indonesia, Australia, New Zealand, the United States, Canada, France, Italy, Greece, Egypt, and many other countries. I have had wonderful experiences in each country. I opened this guesthouse because I want you to have a wonderful experience in Kyoto as well. This house used to be my home. So it is not decorated or equipped like a hotel. And it is not a traditional Japanese style building (Kyomachiya). It is a common private house. However, I am renovating this guesthouse to make it comfortable for my guests. I will return to my house in Kyoto several times a year, so I would be happy if you treat my room with care. Kyoto has many tourist attractions. And in spring, summer, fall, and winter, each has a different beauty. No matter what time of year you come to Kyoto you will enjoy your trip! When you check in, my friend will help you. She lives near my guesthouse and will be able to help you right away. My husband or I will be in charge of contacting you. We will use translation tools to ensure that you do not receive incorrect information. If you have difficulty understanding a sentence, please reply with "I don't understand the sentence. I may be delayed in responding to emails when I am working during the day, on sudden emergency business, spending time with my family, or sleeping. It would be helpful if you could resolve all questions before the day before check-in to reduce the probability that you will have to contact me urgently on the day of check-in. Well then, we look forward to having you with us! Thank you!!! Wishing you a wonderful trip to Kyoto! Thank you!
