Cute comfortable convenient guesthouse

This guesthouse is absolutely lovely. Conveniently located, comfortable, and has a really helpful and friendly staff. Would absolutely stay again. My only criticism is that it was difficult to communicate with them prior to our check in (we had some changed travel plans). They don't seem to check their email (or answer their phone?). Having said that, they were very kind about our early arrival when we did arrive and everything worked out.

很棒的町家住宿體驗

非常復古的日式町屋，濃濃的懷舊感，值得體驗，不過因為是有歷史的房子了，拉門聲響跟隔音上對聲音敏感的人可能會受影響，個人是體驗感很好，久久還是會想住一下町屋的感覺，不過畢竟不是現代化的住宿，可能要自己斟酌一下適不適合（如：廁所衛浴公用）

スタッフの方は気さくで、泊まり客同士もすれちがう度に挨拶したり会話したりで、宿の施設でけでなく、人も魅力的な宿でした。 シャワーは無料で24時間使えますが、湯船使用は300円かかり、タオルや備品レンタルさしたければ、夜9時までしかスタッフがいないのが不便です。 やだの場所は、京都の町屋に馴染みのない人にはややこしくバス停からの道が若干わかりにくいです。

古さはこの施設のメリットであると思えれば、とても素敵な宿です。多少の不便さが逆に新鮮でした。1階の部屋に泊まりましたが、二階でお客さんが歩けば天井は軋み、襖の向こうは玄関とフロントのため、人の出入り、会話の音がそのまま聞こえます。それも含めて、この宿の特徴です。 尚、朝食は大変美味しく、特に白飯がツヤツヤ甘く、オーナーに伺ったところ、そもそもご実家で収穫したお米を使っていたそうで、近年は親戚から調達したお米とのこと。坪庭を眺めながらの朝食はとても良かったです。

熱心的主人，绝佳的民宿

非常友善的主人，是幾個年轻人共同經營的。我的英國先生和10歲女兒不愛吃日本早午餐，主人特别凖備好吃的西式麪包、yogurt和橙汁，特别感動！我們喜歡日本傳统房子，這是很合适的一家民宿。我们會再來。

일본가정식 아침식사는 최고, 3월초준기준 잠자리는 추웠다.

대체로 만족한다. 다만, 아직 아침저녁으로 쌀쌀한 날씨에 비해 1층 뒷 3인다다미방의 대해서는 석유 히터가 있긴해도 잠자리는 추웠다. 좀 좁고 오래된 구형 숙박시설인것만 이해하면 스텝들의 친절함과 아주 보통적인 일본 거주지에 위치한 주변 환경은 매우 조용했으며, 특히, 정통 일본가정식의 아침식사는 일본을 경험하는데 최고였다.

제발 여기 가주세요 너무너무 좋은 곳이에요

이 곳을 예약한 옛날의 저에게 백 번 칭찬해주고 싶을 정도입니다. 4인 도미토리에서 묵었지만 어떤 불편함도 없었으며 정말 행복한 하루가 되었습니다. 주변에 편의점이 없고, 교토 특성상 버스를 타고 꽤 들어간 뒤 많이 걸어야했지만 그런 점들은 신경도 쓰지 않게 될 정도로 예쁘고 편안한 게스트 하우스입니다. 인테리어를 중요시하는 분에게는 정말 탁월한 선택일겁니다. 따뜻하고 편안한 코타츠가 있습니다. 저는 하루종일 코타츠에서 뒹굴거리며 쉬었네요ㅎㅎ 또한 직원들도 정말 너무너무 친절합니다. 그리고 이 곳에서 묵으실 한국 분들께 추천합니다. 후나오카 온천(이라지만 목욕탕 같습니다.) 꼭 가서 하루의 피로를 푸시고, 킨교야에서 푹 주무신 뒤 일찍 일어나셔서 조식을!! 꼭!! 먹어주세요!! 다음에 또올래요
