I stayed here 13 nights, and I will definitely come back if visiting Kyoto. Some highlights were: Kind and caring staff Nice breakfast (I was too well-fed) Everything is very organised (and systematised) The cozy atmosphere of a traditional Japanese house Jiro the Shiba Inu
I had an amazing time and can't ask for more, but just to help people make informed decisions Some rooms are facing the road; I slept very well regardless, but some might find car noises loud at night Also, note that not everyone would find guesthouse in general as most comfy

Great little hostel with good vibe. Fantastic value for Kyoto. The absolute best breakfast we had in any accommodation in Japan! So much variety including lots of fruit, cannot believe breakfast is included for this price. Good location, 5mins walk from metro stop, 10min walk from Ninenzaka street. Walkable to Gion and kiyomizudera temple. Some great affordable restaurants nearby. Good storage lockers - canât quite get a large backpack in but can get essentials/valuables in. Does not offer luggage forwarding but is directly opposite Lawson who were able to do this for us. V helpful staff and lovely family.
Nothing!

I absolutely loved this hostel - the owner, Jiro, Shoko san, and other staff - everyone was such a delight to meet. the guest house is a traditional old Japanese style wooden house - which must be experienced! Breakfast - made with soo much love, not only was a balanced variety of foods provided, the host provided many seasonal fruit options! The positive attitude is so infectious - even the guests were in delightful mood when lounging. I do miss Jiro - the cutest Shiba I met in Japan. I take very fond memories from here - and wish to see them whenever I'm in kyoto!

Absolute best vibes! The staff (and resident dog, Jiro) are so chill and friendly. Very friendly and homely atmosphere in an excellent location! Take a walk down the street towards the station, past the bridge: there's an alley with hundreds of lanterns in it. The guy who owns the first shop on the corner (next to the lady who sells 1000„ kimonos- yes, really: they're legit, just might have the tiniest bit of damage) is awesome and will do you a great meal. Also, try the miso soup the hostel owner makes for brekkie! It's amazing
I genuinely can't think of anything. It's great. I'd advise you to be careful coming in late at night though: the building is like 150 years old and the floorboards creak, so be considerate of people sleeping :)

The breakfast is definitely a highlight with a lot of choices. The location is fantastic, right next to the east district but also for getting all around kyoto(you can walk to Sanjo station, which is a really convenient hub station in 12 minutes). Beds are comfy. Showers are big. The staff is always helpful and around almost all the time if you need them and of course Jiro is super cute. They had the 10th anniversary of the guesthouse and threw a party and invited everybody to drink and eat for free, really something else đ.
The shower area could use a heater in winter. It's veryyyy cold when you go into the shower and exit. Note about the 4 bedroom mixed dormitory: This room is on the ground floor next to the common area which makes it very loud. Lights out is at 23:00 and breakfast starts at 07:00. So in the best case scenario you have an 8 hour sleeping window(usually less in reality). Unless you're a really deep sleeper it's impossible to sleep through the noise of the coffee machine in the morning right outside the door and people often stay up chatting in the common area as late as possible. So yeah it's very hard to get a good night's sleep in this room. I wish they would change lights out to 22:30, that would solve a lot of problems and let people get a better nights sleep.

Loved everything about my stay here! A traditional Townhouse, everything was very well maintained, the owner and staff were very helpful. They helped explain things to me in English, which helped as I know very little Japanese. A very homely feeling and met great people from all over the world. The provided breakfast was delicious. I felt very safe leaving my stuff out, and had lockers for safekeeping. A small outside garden which was great to sit and talk with others in the evenings.
Be prepared for the beds to be a bit small if you are 180cm+. I didn't mind personally, being 189cm, but if you are taller than that, it might become a little uncomfortable

Friendly host, kind guests! Delicious breakfast and an adorable dog. This place was safe, wonderfully located and a fantastic guest house. Definitely go here if you're staying in Kyoto. The place had such a cozy vibe and it was easy to get comfortable. I love how big the common area was, made it easy to work or hang out. I really enjoyed my stay here.
Getting a bit nitpicky that some of the light fixtures were very blue and harsh, some softer, warmer ambient light would have been nice. Also more hooks or places to hang your stuff (particularly in the top bunks) would have been great. There was also no hair conditioner, which is a very very minor inconvenience. Small details, but don't let them stop you from staying! I loved it here!

Very clean, bunk beds were clean and very comfortable as were the hand basins, showers and toilets. Hand towels were fresh daily. Superbly healthy and generous breakfasts, proper ground coffee n tea throughout the day. Although I would have preferred fresh milk to the individual little pots of milk as not eco friendly.
Nothing that I can think of. Apart from a few guests who have little or no hostel etiquette but thatâs not the fault of the guesthouse.

Jiro is a highlight as well as the mentioned breakfast. Not much of a breakfast person but they got me to eat some and I was not disappointed. Location is great for quite a few things on the east side of Kyoto, for others you might have to drive longer anyways, so it doesn't make a big difference. Lastly, the open space gives you a great opertunity to get in touch with others and enjoy/explore Kyoto with someone new
The beds made some noises and the rooms are not super big, but it's a hostel. That's normal

Jiro was adorable and the breakfast was amazing! Owner and workers are super nice and friendly. Nice social vibe, location was good- train station and bus stop to Kyoto station nearby, plenty of shops and shrines within walking distance. Not far from the main shops, no queue for toilet or shower.
As pictured, but something to bear in mind- the beds have a railing so it is difficult to get in and out of the beds. Definitely bring earplugs if youâre a light sleeper bc the road noises are really loud!
