Good location near subway station and temples in Higashiyama. Extremely quite neighbourhood. The experience is very Japanese: lots of sliding shoji screen doors, futons, tatami mats, narrow spaces, very steep staircase. If you are looking for a Japanese experience, you will be very happy here. The Inn is a bit hard to find. Watch the YouTube video that guides you through the tricky last 100m. We also had trouble at first connecting with the staff before we arrived, but once we established communication, the instructions were clear. The checkin process is all contactless, so we never saw any staff during our stay. The Shabu-shabu restaurant at the entrance to the Furukawacho shopping street was really good (if you stick to Shabu-shabu and fried chicken).

Nice traditional Japanese apartment. Super nice host. Close to the subway and other temples withing walking distance

....... you'll love this place! Despite being sent instructions, to locate we found the house difficult to locate once we came out of the subway. Maybe our fault, but the details could be a little clearer. However, a friendly young man went out of his way to guide us. Typical Japanese friendliness that we found throughout our stay in Japan. We were also emailed a letter in Japanese to direct taxi drivers - a nice touch! However, that's a minor point. The manager, Yumi, was waiting in the street, a little concerned that we were later than expected. She took great trouble in explaining how the house worked and left us to enjoy it - with contact available by mobile phone left in the kitchen. The accommodation is a machiya with tatami, futons and Japanese style. The beds were on the floor, so hard but comfortable with warm duvets. The bathroom was a shower and deep bath, with good flow and stability of heat. A separate washbasin and toilet, all divided with wood and paper screens. The living room had a low table with four low chairs. For westerners, these may provide a problem, but worth trying. There is nowhere to relax - we have suggested bean bags which could be kept in a cupboard until need, so as not to spoil the visual appearance of a delightful room. A small kitchen with fridge/freezer, kettle and microwave was fine. Wi-Fi was free and had a strong and stable signal. Location is excellent with closeby useful bus routes and subway station.

寝間着が用意が無かった事だけ気になりました。
