Wonderful traditional Japanese house

We loved our stay in the Hoshi house! The location was just to our liking, a nice quite local neighborhood with lots of culture! Subway and bus stops were only a 10 minute walk and a short walk to Yasaka Shrine. While we wandered that direction we stumbled upon Shoren-in Monzeki & Chion-in Temple (which easily became our favorite). Due to the location we could stroll down at times when the crowds were gone. I was initially concerned how my back would tolerate the futons on the tatami mats but they were incredibly comfortable, so much so I abandoned the western bed for them! The house was spotlessly clean and the owners were very accommodating meeting us at our arrival and giving us a rundown of the house. Easily our favorite stay in Japan!

Excellent Hospitality

I very much enjoyed my stay here. An employee showed me around the property and answered all of my questions as soon as I arrived, and the place was beautiful. I would highly recommend staying here, I had no complaints at all.

Beautiful, comfortable, quiet, clean

Stayed here on my honeymoon and it was our favorite place. Loved everything about it. Great location in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood. Practical kitchen with coffee and tea. We had pastries at home as we got ready for the day. Immaculate bathroom. Great hosts.

Clean and efficient

Was about a 15 minute walk to both Sanjo station and the Butokuden, where I had an aikido seminar. The washer/dryer was a big plus! Very clean.

About the host

Hosted by Kei N

Hi. My name is Kei. I was born and raised in Kyoto. My family has lived here for more than 250 years. I renovated my houses and started B&B simply because it's very fantastic to meet new guests and to have conversations with them. As a genuine Kyotoite, it would be great if I can show you the core beauty of Kyoto.
