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, it's just good to know if a guest has mobility issues. If the weather is chilly, the house is also quite chilly. We really needed the heat on at night and in the morning. Last, be sure to bring an adapter if you have a laptop or appliances with a three-prong electrical cord from the US, as there are no outlets with three prongs.

The entire stay was great! The host (Mr Tomoya) was very helpful at check in and gave us a detailed overview of the area and how to get around. I would definitely reccomend Jizo House to a friend and stay here when I visit kyoto next.

Jizo House

My family and I loved this house. In the middle of town, we walked to some of the best temples and shrines. Our full day in Kyoto was the best day of our trip because of the wonderful house and location.

My family of five stayed in Jizo House for 2 nights and was given the entire 2-storey house. The house was spacious with three bedrooms on 2nd floor, a cozy waiting room and a living room. It is good value for money. It also offers an excellent opportunity to experience staying in a Japanese home nested within a quiet Japanese neighbourhood. We drove to Jizo house through narrow roads but it was not difficult to navigate to there. The parking of our rented vehicle is more challenging. The house is well equipped with all the essentials that a hotel typically provides. The steps to the 2nd floor were however too steep for my aged parents, so we brought the futon to the first floor living room for them. Overall, the stay was excellent. The access to the bus station was about 7 to 10 minutes walk down the slope.
