A Taste of Living as a Local
The guest house was a great break from the bustle other areas in Kyoto but easily accessible to all the main attractions. You get a real sense of what it’s like to live as a local while in walking distance to Daitokuji one of the less touristy but beautiful temple complexes. Shimpei is a wonderful host who goes out of his way to suggest restaurants and activities. He is always available to help with such hospitality. We highly recommend this guest house!
