The guesthouse really close to Uzumasa Station. Only 5 min walking from the station. We went there during spring so, when you get off from the train station you will see Sakura blossom along the street. It's very beautiful. I feel like i live in my hometown. The owner of the house can speak English, the environment of the house is very Japanese style. So, if you want to feel how the Japanese house is like. This guesthouse is the best option.

Very Japanese style accommodation, I like living room when train pass by. It's also nice around the guesthouse. They have a dog and my son like it very much.

We really liked our stay at Guest House Bola Bola. It was nice to stay in a traditional looking Japanese style house with the sliding doors and the mats on the floor. The owner was really friendly and gave us lots of help and advice. The location was nice as it is out of the city centre but still near lots of things to do and a short train ride away from the centre of Kyoto. We would recommend hiring bikes (which you can from the guest house) and cycling round the local area.
