    Very Disappointing and not value for money.

    The garden is lovely, two toilets, very basic real Japanese experience, location to family mart for beer

    No real cooking capability Excessive 24 hour road noise that doesn’t allow sleep No curtails/blinds in bedrooms for privacy or darkness Hot plates did not work No toaster No sauce pans available Drain plug for the main bathroom sink did not fit, could not hold water Facilities in our opinion would not extend to accommodating 8 people No response from questions pertaining to hot plates and missing cooking capability from management team.

    Incredibly unique property! Felt like we stepped back in time. Super spacious and clean, a lovely change from hotel rooms. Garden was delightful. Only drawback was proximity to road but earplugs allowed for a peaceful nights rest.

    Fabuleux

    Maison traditionnelle de charme sur 2 étages avec jardin. Maison très agréable avec d'espace vital. Emplacement stratégique pour Kyoto car près de lignes d'autobus directes pour la majorité des attractions touristiques. Les tatamis demandent une adaptation mais s'avèrent finalement confortables

    La seconde chambre (à l'étage en avant) est décidément trop bruyante. La seconde personne a préféré descendre ton tatamis dans le salon (en arrière). C'est un four à induction. Nous avions une cafetière mocha qui n'a pas fonctionné. Par contre l'appartement est collé à un FamilyMart
