Another good stay. Good basic and clean accommodation, being winter I did find it rather cold this time and could have done with another or thicker duvet but the accommodation itself lacks nothing, well positioned in a nice suburban area of Kyoto close to transport, and it's own shrines and onsens.

The property is very clean, well organized and pretty roomy with a living area and separate bedroom. It is in a nice quiet residential area within walking distance of one famous shrine (Kinkaku-ji) but has a few lovely local shrines all around. Communication and directions were excellent. We loved it!
