Kyoto Himawari Shijo Kawaramachi

The staff is great, kind and super helpful. The structure is beautiful, extremely clean and in a perfect position! Snack bar is refilled every day and you can have a satisfying breakfast. It's been our best stay in Japan! Super recommend to everyone.

The structure isn't huge and not exactly sound proof so don't expect extreme silence all the time. Still, a great experience :)

Great place, well located and very confortable. Highly recommended.

Had the best check-in and check-out experience, the staff was amazingly wonderful, he even helped with booking a taxi. Room is spacious enough for 1 and for manoeuvring a mid-sized luggage. Clean bathroom and toilet, free snacks and water provided.

As it is a traditional old house, it isn't very soundproof, gotta be very careful with your movements.

Great location for exploring Kyoto, nice bedroom and bathrooms. Excellent snack bar.

Although friendly and helpful it was difficult to communicate with staff.

Futon beds were triple layered for comfort of tourists who aren’t used to sleeping in tatami floors. Very thoughtful touches in every aspect of the guesthouse. Couldn’t fault in any way.

As this is an old house of 130 years but impeccable well maintained, the sound proofing is not that great but ear plugs were provided. You can hear cars driving past and people chatting outside at night and in the morning. But it’s relatively quiet during middle of the night.
