Five-star recommendation, the owner of the homestay is a very kind and friendly couple, suitable for friends who travel alone. Facilities: There are two floors in total, with two bathrooms and two toilets. Most of the time, there is no need to queue. There are also many free snacks to eat. The walls are decorated with banknotes, coins from various countries, and hand-painted by guests. Hygiene: The sanitation is cleaned every morning, and the public areas are very clean. Environment: There is a small Japanese courtyard, which is beautiful on rainy days. The room is very warm. The location is not as convenient as Sijo, but it is okay to have buses around. Service: This is important to say that the boss is really nice. I received a hand-painted card with my name on it the next morning. It was really touching to experience this warmth in a foreign country. Every day when I come back from outside, I will hear "Welcome back" and see two smiling faces. My roommates have always been Chinese, and it is also a different experience to communicate with different friends every day. I left here today and changed my residence and felt a little uncomfortable. Finally, I wish mama and papa good health and happiness.

Papa and mama is very friendly to every visitors. I’m come to Kyoto without any itinerary plans and mama did told me which tourist spots to avoid and which is a must. If you love peace and calm you should definitely stay at here.

This is a great place with great people! I got a lot of positive emotions from staying here! Of course, you still have to understand that this is a place where you live together with other people, but here it is more of a plus than a minus! The breakfast is delicious, there is an opportunity to give clothes for washing, convenient bus stations are nearby, you can take a bike. Thanks Mama-san and Papa-san for a great time! I will be glad to come back here!
