Une maison très sympathique avec des propriétaires qui vous guident vers les points à visiter dans le coin. La maison est située dans un coin assez/trop calme et à 5 minutes de la gare du JR. Si je retourne un jour à Kyoto, j'y retournerai surement!

one of the best value places I have ever stayed, the only knock is that it\'s not exactly soundproof (only a problem if your neighbours are noisy). Run by awesome people, very knowledgable about the city and around, great onsen down the street and loads of character...I loved staying here!

Though the hostel is a 15 minute train ride from the heart of Kyoto, we loved the neighborhood and the town of Uzamasa.It was great to be out of the hustle of the city and frequent local shops and restaurants. The host family is very warm and welcoming and the rooms are very comfortable. Highly recommended.

This is easily the nicest hostel/guest house I have ever stayed in. The owners are very friendly, helpful, have good English and keep the guest house very clean.
It is a beautiful, traditional Japanese style house, so if you\\\'re considering staying in a ryokan, I would recommend this as a better value option.

The gentleman who owns the place is exceptional. He was really helpful and has a hand drawn map of all the secret wonderful places in Uzumasa. It is really neat place. A few hundred yards west on the main street is an amazing okonomiyaki place. It only seats eight people and one guy does the cooking. If you can speak a little, you wil be fine. It was incredible.
