Loved this location as a peaceful base camp to explore Kyoto and surrounding cities like Nara and Osaka from the short walk to Kyoto station. Highly recommend.

We had the most wonderful stay in this stunning traditional house in Kyoto. The home is beautifully designed, with a refined aesthetic that reflects true Japanese elegance. Every detail is thoughtful and perfect—from the serene inner garden to the spacious bath and the big windows overlooking the river. It's just as beautiful as the photos—if not more! The house is spacious, comfortable, and luxurious. Everywhere you look, there’s beauty and harmony. The location is ideal—quiet and peaceful, right on the riverside, yet centrally located so you can easily reach many key attractions by foot or a short ride. What truly made our stay exceptional was our host, Yumi. She warmly welcomed us, walked us through the house, helped us plan our time in Kyoto, and even arranged to ship our luggage to the next destination. She was always available to answer questions and continued helping us even days after we had left, going above and beyond when we needed assistance with unrelated luggage logistics. Thank you so much, Yumi, for your generous and thoughtful hospitality. We are deeply grateful and highly recommend this beautiful home to anyone visiting Kyoto!

It can get a bit chilly in the winter due to its traditional wooden structure, but keeping the AC on consistently should keep the space comfortable.

A beautifully restored Ryokan-style property, with its thoughtful details and authentic atmosphere. Nestled right along the river, it offers a local experience—so much so that a heron regularly fed by a neighbor adds a touch of quiet magic, reminiscent of a scene from a Ghibli film. The hotel manager, Yumi, was exceptionally welcoming, providing recommendations and a warm, informative welcome upon check-in. The surrounding neighborhood, full of character, is dotted with tiny restaurants and hidden shops waiting to be discovered.

It was cold when we were there, so we either had the heat on too high or too low. Yumi did explain it, but I don't think we did a good job at managing

We were 2 families, 6 adults and 2 kids (5&6). Everything was wonderful, Yumi was there to check us in and take u through the whole house. It is traditional, but with modern kitchen and bathrooms. Super clean, nice, sleek and practical designs.

The aesthetic, the amenities, the host. Everything was perfect. I travel all over the world, and this is top 3 favorite stays.

It’s walkable to everywhere but it can take a while. 5 mins to 7-11, 15 mins to Kyoto station. It’s not a problem for our group.

It’s a very well managed property. High quality material, kitchenware, everything. The design of the house is gorgeous, it offers nice space and peace. We’re a large group of 10 and it’s near impossible to find a place in Kyoto. This house was just perfect. The host was super helpful with easy communication from booking to the whole stay.

Nothing, everything was perfect!

We loved the layout of the house and the spaciousness when we first walked in. The garden area is a highlight and binds the whole house together. Especially the bathroom on the second floor is really well made and makes for a great evening bath with view into the garden.

The property is on a narrow street so car drop You a few meters away but this means the street is really quiet so action a good thing

A perfect place to stay in Kyoto. It is beautiful and is in a. Great location on river. It has everything a family needs and is very comfortable. The two inside outside gardens are so beautiful and make the place so special. The property manager is so helpful and even helped arrange our luggage transfer and gave us loads of tips on where to go etc All round the best place I have stayed and I travel a lot

Wonderful warm host, stylish architectural design and great location. The house is about a 15-20 min flat walk to central Kyoto, in a quiet friendly neighbourhood with plenty of trendy coffee shops and restaurants. We appreciated the way Yumi greeted us at the property, gave us a tour of the house, helped us plan our itinerary for the week, and booked us into a beautiful restaurant for dinner! The house felt both modern and minimalist but at the same time traditional and cosy. All beds were very comfortable.

There’s nothing not to like. Unless you want to stay in the middle of the busy areas.

It was authentic / quaint and completely a true Japanese experience. A modern , comfortable , yet very traditional experience of Japanese living beside a beautiful wide canal. A 15/20 min walk from the main streets. Quiet and peaceful. We even managed a table to a Michelin Guide Ramen place suggested by the host. We were 5 of us. There’s 4 beds on Tatami mats and one regular bed. The house is situated in a narrow street so if you come by taxi you may have to walk a small distance by foot. Cycling around in Kyoto or walking or taking a cab is very doable.

We had to leave so soon!

Staff is so kind, helpful, and really fluent in English! This place is fully equipped(a/c system, hinoki bath tub, bose audio and even balmuda oven!), and a fresh mixture between japanese traditional ryokan and modern house! The small garden inside of the house is so beautiful! The surrounding area is so quiet and peaceful!

The home was conveniently located on the Kamo River and close to Kyoto Station. We loved waking up and opening the sliding doors on the second floor to see the ducks and herons in the morning. The home is an architectural dream - they've made indoor/outdoor living a main focus while maintaining privacy and comfort.
