Perfect hostel. Small, friendly. Wonderful hosts. Inexpensive. A real gem. Please keep this place open and fantastic by respecting the facilities and the couple who run it. fyi - for kyoto, get a bus map and buy the one day passes everyday (500yen) on the bus - it's worth it. less

Close to some of the major sites, but a bit far from downtown. A traditional and modest Japanese guesthouse, but that's part of the charm. Rent a bike and tour the city! The owner is incredibly helpful in giving detailed directions to anywhere you want to go, and will suggest interesting things to do along the way. lesspdahlke7215 (Novice Nomad from Australia), November 2009:

This is a small, quiet, very well-run guesthouse and perfect for those who want to experience staying in a traditional Japanese-style house. The owners are so welcoming and friendly and always ready to provide lots of help and advice for getting around Kyoto. I just hope I have the chance to stay there again! less

A fabulous place, despite the obvious drawback of the 'lock out' time. The staff spoke very little English but that's not their fault - I should have tried more japanese. They were especially friendly and welcoming and the place was spotless. If you want authentic and tidy, it's the place. Enjoy. lessolivierlinglet1972 (Novice Nomad from France), November 2009:

Honestly, perfect. :) Ok, maybe it doesn t especially have a "japanese character", but it feels good. Clean, helpful staff, really nice environment etc etc. Best hostel sofar in Japan (with the Little Asia in Kagoshima, which was different, but great just as much). Thanks to the staff, you really made my stay (and my daughter s) a great one! lessTeresa (Reviewer from USA), December 2009:

Very nice hostel. The only negatives would be that it was a little noisy in the hallway outside of my room. Lots of echos from people talking, walking, closing doors. Also, my room smelled a little bit like feet, but not a big deal. Overall, I was very happy with my stay. less

This lady is the nicest ever, and she speaks great english! The location is also very good if you want to see temples and shrines. However, if you are there to party you might want to go somewhere else, the neighbourhood is very peaceful and quiet. lessCameron (Novice Nomad from Australia), December 2009:

great location next to world heritage listed kiyomizudera temple - must visit. rooms are large with heater. robes available to wear. one computer, breakfast was great - tea or coffee, thick toast and fruit or yogurt. showers and toilets are new and clean. security code to get into building. hostess speaks great english, very helpful. brochures and maps available. ryokann is up a hill but worth the walk. we'll definately stay again and recommend it to family and friends. less

Loved! So cute, so friendly, so charming, felt safe & welcomed. Kimono-wearing, english-speaking staff. Traditional style, tatami and crisp white sheets. Decently comfortable futons. Lovely common area and little gardens. Best by far of the four places I stayed in Kyoto. Location good because close to Kyoto station transport hub, but not most happening neighborhood. Quaint safe little street. Would go back and stay happily! reserve in advance. lessPay Lee (Novice Nomad from Malaysia), November 2009:
