Guesthouse Kioto – A Favorite for Families in Kyoto

The guesthouse offers seven rooms that include Standard Twin Rooms, Superior Twin Rooms with Garden View, and a Single Bed in Female Dormitory Room. Each room has tatami floors, futon bedding, and air conditioning. Some rooms open onto a small garden. One guest review noted the room size is "very big, if compare to other hotel rooms we stayed during our trip to Japan."

The property has a garden, a shared lounge with kotatsu tables, and a minimarket on site. Board games and puzzles are available for guests. CCTV operates in common areas, and key access controls entry to the building. Fire extinguishers and smoke alarms are installed throughout the house.

Kitano Tenmangu Shrine is a 6-minute walk from the guesthouse. Kinkaku-ji Temple (the Golden Pavilion) is 1.8 km away. The surrounding area is quiet and residential, with bus stops close by that connect to Gion and other central districts. One guest described the location as "convenient location" and noted it is "15min walk from the Funaoka onsa".

The owners provide a printed map with local restaurant and public bath recommendations. An optional Japanese breakfast is available for an affordable price. Bicycle rental is offered on site. Luggage storage is provided, and check-in is scheduled by appointment. One guest review noted the host "helped with my daily traveler's troubles."
