    The room was great. The neighborhood was great. The bakery at the bottom of the hill plays the Miyazaki score and has amazing baked goods.

    This is a wonderful place. The garden is old and exquisite, and while the house is traditional and quaint, it has a fully-equipped kitchen, modern toilets and comfortable baths. While it's a bit of a walk up the hill from the Misasagi subway...

~~Kyoto Dai's house~~ A quiet Japanese garden building located in Kyoto's Goryo. Located in a residential area, the surrounding area is elegant and quiet. The most important thing is that the transportation is very convenient 1. There is a reserved bus from Kansai Airport that goes directly to the entrance of the hostel. 2. 2 stops to Kyoto Station, 6 minutes walk to the station 3. 6 minutes to Reien, Yasaka Shrine, Kiyomizu Temple, Hanami Koji, Kawaramachi, and Nishiki Market 4. 5 minutes to Nanzenji Temple, the Way of Philosophy, and Ginkakuji Temple 5. 20~25 minutes to Fushimi Inari Shrine 6. Arashiyama is only 30-35 minutes away 7. the biggest advantage of the subway is that you don't have to take the bus all the time (fewer buses and more detours) 8. triangle window house (ventilation and light first-class) corner that is Yamashina hydrophobic 9. all the buildings must look Japanese style 10 road is a rare 8 meters road, a bit like the Hong Kong mid-levels villa a little bit of a small slope very quiet, clean
