Reviews of Wuz Kamogawa 5 stars

The host, Yumi, made us feel comfortable and was extremely helpful. We absokutley loved the design and decoration of the home.

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.

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 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.

The house was beautiful and super comfortable! Yumi was incredibly helpful and gave us tips and restaurant recommendations. Location was perfect as it was close to everything but on a very quiet and peaceful street by the river.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

Location , size

Yumi is a great, responsive host, meeting us at check in to explain about the property and how to get around. Quiet location next to a river, with grocery stores nearby. Heated floor, comfortable mattresses. Big wooden bath, that my young adults children enjoyed. Kitchen is basic, but enough to dish out simple soupy meals.

The road is too narrow for entry of vehicles, so luggage needs to be rolled in the last 2 blocks. The staircase is very steep and not safe for the elderly.

Beautiful home 15 minutes walk from Kyoto station. Plenty of room for 8-10 people

No living room seatings. Dining table only has 4 chairs.

we had a wonderful time as a family in this sublime Japanese house with a refined design, very well located along the river a few minutes from the historic district of Gion. thanks to Yumi for her exceptional welcome. I will recommend this house to all my friends

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.

Nothing, everything was perfect!

It was beautiful and great location

It was extremely hot and the aircon upstairs struggled to keep it cool.

Everything was just perfect!

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

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

beautifully designed and decorated, peaceful location right on Kamo River, comfortable for our family of 6, Yumi was a very responsive host.

Loved everything about it.

Great staff and exceptionally well kept property

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.

Nothing!

Beautiful place. Felt very authentic and modern.

The place exceeded all of our expectations.
