Opt for a Room with a Garden View

Guests enjoyed the charming garden view and found it added to the traditional Japanese ambiance of the guesthouse.

Consider Bringing Earplugs and an Eye Mask

Take Advantage of the Board Games

Many guests appreciated the extensive collection of board games available in the common areas, providing a fun and social activity during their stay.

Prepare for the Walk from the Station

While the guesthouse is within walking distance of Kyoto Station, some guests found the walk less enjoyable at night, so it's advisable to be prepared for this if arriving after dark.

Check Out the Nearby Attractions

The guesthouse's proximity to attractions such as Nishiki Market, Sanjusangendo Temple, and the Kyoto National Museum makes it convenient for exploring the city's cultural and historical sites.

Bring Your Own Towel

Guests noted that towels were available for an additional fee, so bringing your own towel could be convenient and cost-effective.

Embrace the Traditional Japanese Experience

The guesthouse offers a traditional Japanese setting with tatami flooring and futon mattresses, providing an authentic cultural experience for guests.

Consider the Smoking Area Location

Some guests mentioned that the smoking area was located near the toilets and sinks in the interior garden, which could lead to occasional exposure to smoke, so it's something to be aware of for non-smoking guests.

Enjoy the Social Atmosphere

Many guests appreciated the friendly and welcoming atmosphere of the guesthouse, making it a great choice for solo travelers and those looking to meet new people.

Take Advantage of the Staff's Local Recommendations

The multilingual staff were praised for providing fantastic local recommendations, and their ability to speak Mandarin and Japanese was particularly helpful for some guests.
