"It was very special experience to stay at Japanese traditonal house with my family. It was a little bit far from the main sightseeing site but we were ok because we had a car. Kinkakuji was especially awesome."

"This Kyoto hostel completely overturned my impression of local accommodations being typically cramped. Very clean and comfortable. High-quality beddings.The living room was surprisingly spacious—easily accommodating our big group with over ten large suitcases! Located near Fushimi Inari Shrine and Tofukuji Temple, it was very peaceful at night. We had brought thick bedding, worried that Kyoto might be cold, but the rooms were extremely comfortable. When we asked for more bowls, chopsticks, and a...

"The house was great and in perfect condition.
Great location as it is 3 min from the Inari shrine and close to the train station which is always helpful.
Nothing to complain about except 1 thing: there was no pool table as shown on the photos and we were not told about it. The guy who gave us the keys told us it is being fixed, which is fine but we would have prefered to know beforehand as we were very excited about it.

"My wife and I loved our time at this property. It has a very cute garden where we would sit and have tea. We also enjoyed the art display in the living room, which was all made by the host’s mother. The property is in an area away from the city where we could get a taste of everyday life in Japan, so we were delighted every time we walked to and from the train stations. Plus, our host was very helpful and attentive, she assisted us to get our luggage forwarded to our next hotel.

"This accommodation was exactly as advertised. It was perfect for 4 travelers, was comfortable and very quiet! Location was good as well, within walking distance of Toji Temple, restaurants, and the JR line."

"Stayed here with friends. Easy access and check-in. We enjoyed their complimentary drinks, Nintendo Switch, Netflix and the bath. This place is a great option for a group. Their little gift also made us feel welcomed. The only regret is that we booked one night - definitely will come back and stay longer next time. "

"We really enjoyed staying in a real house in a real neighborhood for our trip to Kyoto. There was plenty of room for our small family, and we felt we had a more authentic visit to this beautiful city. A couple things to note for those who read reviews is that the stairs to the bedrooms are very steep and narrow, and I worried for my husband navigating them in the dark at night. The bed in the second bedroom is on the floor, which isn't a bad thing considering this is an authentic experience,...

"Tradition ancient Kyoto-style house in great location. Parking space right outside the house. Spacious living room and bedroom. Well equipped kitchen with tableware, cookware and seasonings. Narrow and slanting staircase to 2F so must be very careful when walking up and down."

"Owner was friendly, kind and flexible, let us put our stuff in the room hours before check-in and gave us cook recommendations on things to do around kyoto when we asked."

"This property is directly across from the train station so it’s a great location if you are on the go. It is further away from the main Kyoto strip that we spent most of our time. I wish I had known that before booking but otherwise it was a great stay."
"The bathroom was tiny for a room that was charged for 4 adults by the hotel. Its almost like a cruise ship bathroom with extermely poor design from the sink (practically no space to keep the stuff - you would have to hold your things and keep it outside the room) to the towel rack which is very high and directly over the toilet. No automated flush (airport have a better toilet). Curtain in the bathroom. Only one mirror outside the room by the main door and if you are getting ready - you will be hit by the door.
Also, entire hotel has "strict" directions for the guests. Don't do this or that - not treating them like adults. They replaced water bottles with an empty jug that you would have to fill out from the lounge area. Jug so poorly designed that you would likely spill water in the room.
The room should not be sold for a family of four and not charged children as adults for everything just because you are able to fit two double beds in the room.
Also, the night pyjamas are hidden in the drawer and just one long shirt (unsure if anyone wears them).
Not recommended. Staff told me this is what you would get if you want to "save" money - I was confused!"
"Location was great. Near train station, subway, Dotonburi, eatery, etc. The property looks new, in great condition. Price was competitive plus it comes with breakfast inclusive. I stayed at the Kyoto Chijo Omiya branch) too (b4 coming to the Osaka Namba branch which is an older property but still cosy, well maintained and slept well there as well. Would use Toyoku Inn again."
