Guest House Kyorakuya Kinkakuji

A guest house with all the necessary Japanese comfort in a residential area close to two major temples: Kinkaku-ji and Ryoan-ji. Also nearby are numerous restaurants, a bakery, and the superb Funaoka onsen, all within walking distance. We greatly appreciated the bicycles provided for getting around Kyoto (for example, to reach Arashiyama bamboo forest or the moss temple Saiho-ji). The host was always very responsive in answering our questions.

The house met all our needs. The neighborhood is lovely within walking distance of Kinkakuji. There is a bakery on the corner and a grocery coop around the corner. Several restaurants are close by. We were visiting our son who lives nearby and we were happy to find accommodations in this part of town. The owner was helpful and I appreciated that he stopped by to meet us and to refresh towels. Would stay again!

The property is in a nice quiet part of Kyoto but still within easy reach of public transport making it easy to get around to all the main attractions. My family also really enjoyed using the available bicycles to do a bit of sightseeing which I highly recommend. Finally, our host was fantastic. He was very friendly always prompt with replies,

The property is rented as a whole house therefore we do not have to share with other people. It is private and located in a beautiful, quiet area.

Comfortable and clean
