Unforgettable suburban Kyoto experience.
Katsuhiko-San make us feel at home in his beautiful house. It was an unique experience living in an authentic japanese home for some days.
It made us appreciate and get closer to Japan's way of life in every way possible.
The Takoyako party was an awesome detail too and we had fun with it.
I'll recommend it to couples coming for Japan for the first time!

The nice people who where running the place made our stay much better. They took their time to show us things. They even walked us to the bike rentals. As for the house it was well kept and we couldn’t of asked for a better stay. Kyoto is wonderful, wish I had more time here.

주택가에 있는 집이라 조용하고 간접적이나마 일본 가정집 체험할 수 있습니다. 주인이 자리를 비워 에어비엔비 느낌이었습니다. 추천합니다.

Very friendly family and a cute location nearby some of Kyotos best attractions. Would absolutely recommend the stay.
Nous sommes une famille de 4 . Nous devions rester seulement 4 nuits mais notre hôte a pu nous garder deux nuits de plus à notre demande (suite à un changement de programme dû à la tempête tropicale).
Il nous a préparé des takoyakis le premier jour et des yakitoris le dernier.
Tous les espaces communs sont très biens, propres, super fonctionnels... extra
La cuisine est super équipée, on peut acheter de quoi se faire à manger. Il y a pleins de petites choses en libre service. On s'est sentis comme à la maison, le meilleur endroit de tout notre séjour!

Nice hostel in a quiet residential area
Surrounding is a quiet residential area with a big park. There are two supermarkets nearby (Fresco and アイハート). So its very easy to grab some late night snacks. Walk 10mins to the Saiin hankyu station or 15mins to Saiin Ranken station. Location is fine :))
They didnt tell me the door password in advance and there was no staff when i arrive. I just text them with line to ask for the checkin method in front of their door and it was raining so hard :( it wasnt a good beginning. And we found a small spider in bed.. But luckily the host (host’s father) was very nice! He invited us and some French guests to make Takoyaki together. It was so fun :D
Overall, the hostel is good :)

Superbe endroit!
Un superbe endroit dans une maison traditionnelle japonaise! Chambres avec tatamis et futons! Une petit jardinet typique du japon. L'accueil est très bon et Yusuke et très attentionné envers ses hôtes. Un très bon spot pour découvrir une ville superbe mêlant tradition et modernisme.

My son said: "It seems to sleep in Doraemon room!"
Very nice place, the owners are friendly and welcoming. Even if they don't speak english, they try to help you as the can. We were there with 2 children who are 6 and 7 years old and we stayed 6 nights. The owners usually waited us when we came back in the evening and they liked to play with our children. Our children still talk about them and really liked to stay there! We used the kitchen that is clean and well provided. Bathrooms and showers are very clean and confortable.
They don't provide breakfast, but you can have water, coffe and tee for free at any time and there are always some snacks (for free too).
We really loved that place and we recommend everyone to go there. It's about 10 minutes walk from metro station, there are many restaurants and supermarkets around.
