“For those seeking a quiet corner of Kyoto away from the main tourist flow, this could be an excellent choice. The well-equipped kitchen and comfortable rooms, some with balconies, create a sense of independence. I think the owner's hospitality and the proximity to local markets enhance the experience, making it a practical and welcoming base.”
