    It was a bit tricky to find a property by the address. The location is good, nearest supermarket is 3 min walk, the bus stop is just around the corner. The famous Golden Pavilion is 7 min walk. It is a traditional Japanese house.

    The host was so friendly and had left a lovely welcome package as well as coming to meet with us once we had settled in. Overall, a beautiful space and despite being away from the Kyoto downtown, a great quieter location and ideal for visiting...
