“The quiet neighborhood provides a peaceful escape, despite its proximity to Kyoto's center. I especially appreciate the traditional Japanese-style breakfast and thoughtful touches like drying guests' shoes on rainy days. While a bit removed, its charm, enhanced by a beautiful inner garden, made a strong impression; the walk to Kinkakuji is manageable too.”
